slickric21 is on a distinguished road
System Specs

Been testing these drivers and comparing them to 174.12 (my preferred 174.xx series driver)
Heres what I found.
WinXp 32,1600x900,Settings all High,Config used to set Very High Object & Disable texture streaming, results = average of 4 Crysis GPU benchmark runs.

Crysis V1.1,
169.44
min 29.37 max 48.25 ave 38.95
174.12
min 29.31 max 49.17 ave 39.31

Crysis V1.2

169.44
min 30.70 max 48.22 ave 39.62
174.12
min 30.16 max 50.12 ave 40.02

Notes/Problems :
169.44 = AA from profiles not working, no 1600x900 res (had to add as custom), custom res don't scale/center properly.
174.12 = no problems

Conclusion:
= 1.2 patch makes a small increase in FPS difference for both drivers
= The drivers have similar performance, 169.44 may have edge IQ wise
= I'll be using 174.12 driver as 169.44 has too many problems !!!!
