:: OPINION [*by LSudlow]

• The 62.xx series is quite promising. I haven't had 3DMark01 scores in this range since the 53.xx series, and 56.72 was the last previous driver to produce a 3DMark03 score over 1300. Now, with the 62.xx series, we're back to near-peak performance. And we're hearing some good reports about game bugs being fixed in this series, too.

The small drop with 62.20 is barely measurable -- probably just due to background activity on my machine. Regardless, this is a fine series and very much worth checking out.

These results can be discussed in the Benchmark Section of the Forum over HERE.

NOTE: I use a home-grown inf (especially modded & tweaked for DELL's Inspiron 5150/5160), which can be found HERE.

Pieter's version may perform quite differently.
