Do you see what I did there? Three of the game titles in this list have the word 'Cry' in them. Sometimes even I am amazed at my cleverness. Nvidia was able to improve the performance of Far Cry 2 by 38% (in comparison to 178 drivers) and Lost Planet: Colonies by a whopping 80%.

The driver is also recommended for the best GPU PhysX experience in Mirror's Edge and apparently there are some new PhysX and CUDA applications to try out as well. I am going to install these drivers for 2 reasons. I wouldn't mind getting even better performance from Far Cry 2, and I want to try out some of these new PhysX apps.

These drivers should improve the performance on my 8800GTS 320MB? or not? :/
