I have not had time do bench any games....3Dmark06 has gained some points from less stutter/pausing of powrplay.

I still will use Riva to set fan 100% fan still cycles ....I wish they would just set it permanatly high for 3d mode.

Before Flashing 3Dmark06 with stutter from Powerplay.

After Flashing Both Bioses Master/Slave...i picked up a few points(almost zero stutter)
I also run Fan100% for benching seeing the New Bios Keeps card at pretty much full speed now!

Note: Driver Version 8.1whql was used from CDVisiontek..(8.2 I eventually gave up on under XP with Phenom..)

It seems the less stuttering the less the CPU has to work ,, I took the best out of three benches each for BeforeFlash and AfterFlash results...Not bad i guess...What we really need is a Great Driver one that dosnt shut down a fricken PC like 8.1/8.2/8.3 are know for!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see there's an improvement. Have you tried the hotfix drivers yet?

Uninstall current drivers...use a driver cleaner....install hotfix. Those are their directions. I would think you will see bigger real world performance gains.
