17 Aug 2005 ~ 7:11pm entropy Jerks! Looks like I'll be using some other driver packages then, as I don't like the Control Center. It'd be great if it wasn't so damned flashy. Make it a simple app (and not so heavy on resources) and I'll use it.

Oh, and they really need to move the Control Center thing from right click. At least move it from the top. Ugh.

18 Aug 2005 ~ 8:39am kanezfan How do you check which driver you currently have again? I looked in device manager and at display adapter properties but can't find anything that says I'm running 5.7. I know as soon as you tell me I'll go duh!
18 Aug 2005 ~ 2:17pm Gobbles I ran it last night. I have not noticed any serious FPS drop. BF2 is about 5fps less overall but its hardly noticable.. I was running 4.12's
