Do you see an improvement? I hope so

oh, also, is there a way to make the IL2 recognize my SLI setup? (8800GTS 512 OC highly)

Hi Fly_zo and others!

Get yourselves over to www.tweakforce.com I use 185.81 XG drivers which are superb but they update all the time.

I run a bfg 7800gs oc agp ON xp 32 BIT

As far as I can tell "YES" , I suffered badly from that problem for a long time and this seems to have fixed it , I run Vista 32 and Nv 8800 Gtx.

I used to run the "NGO" drivers, and found them quite good (at the time)...I don't remember why I stopped using them? Is this the same type of thing? Does "tweakforce" optimize the stock drivers to run 'better'?

I found most of the 180 series to be a bit "slower" (FPS) then previous drivers...is the new driver suppose to have a better FPS rate?

Yes,

They always aim to increase all round performance. Read the readme on the site. Says they increase say 30% with Half Life 2 or Far Cry 2 etc etc.
