The applications used for benchmarking were all DirectX 10: - Company of Heroes (Version 1.70). The last one gets almost no performance increase, which comes as no surprise because Call of Juarez is an ATI biased game. The other two seem to have received a little more attention. Lost Planet sees a large improvement with a performance boost between 15% and 20% depending on settings. Company of Heroes gets the most from this driver update. Being the first game that you can buy which is prepeared for DirectX 10 (even if it's via a patch) and the main target for driver developement right now. At 2048x1536 with anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering enabled, we find ourselves with a raise in framerate up to 100% using ForceWare 158.45. Keep in mind that DirectX 10 supporting titles are just starting to appear. There's still a lot left to do with regard to performance improvements through driver tweaking and optimisation. Once final code from games made from scratch for the new API begin to arrive, we should see the real benefits of NVIDIA's x10 cards.
