Haven't had time to test them. Midterm 2morrow. I'm going to test em 2morow, and later 2day on my laptop

Up to i wonder what makes the test case that gives the like 10-20% i end up seeing. very crappy cpu crippled computers or super computers

These drivers did solve my stuttering problem in L4D. Every driver after the 178.34 has caused stuttering. I read somewhere this was a problem for XP users like me. The game works fine now, I can see an 11% increase in L4D being about right. I play at 1440x900 @ 4XAA and average about 45-55 fps, when before I was averaging 40-50 fps. Not huge but slightly noticeable in big fights, much smoother.

182.05 are newer than 181.22 (no they aren''t Beta, there are 181.22 beta and none Beta).
