Got about 15% fps boost out of these. Textures look great. One thing I notice that I never did before is reflections in some glass buildings. Might have been there before and I just didn't see it. I'll have to look at this better.
I lightened this pic in PS so you can see the reflections better.

Got about 10% fps increase. Details very sharp.

Still having my problem with FS9 CTD (taskbar). Click on taskbar and FS9 opens where it left in paused position. Time for CTD is now about 30-60 minutes. Have changed my Saitek X-45 drivers and re-installed. Between this and the new video drivers the CTD time is doubled, so I assume it's something there, although nothing jumps out at me.:sheep:

A good find...read on:

The only "problem" I've noticed, is the colours when playing back video, is all wrong.
But this was easily fixed in the driver control panel.

I simply went under the "colour correction" menu. There I choose the "all" option(where you also can choose desktop and overlay) and clicked on the "reset to default" button.

LOL...

I got 'em and noticed some sweet new reflections! Nothing else so far though.

EDIT: First two are before (had 77.13) the third is after (77.72). Gotta look at the sunglasses.

Awesome
