Can anyone please varify?

does it improve fps?

I am still on 182.50 with nnfvvnn(???) of 185

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.

But what about "IL2 1946"? Even though the FPS was better for "HL2" & "FC2" a lot of people found their "IL2" FPS drop with the 180 series of drivers...their was some talk about the issue here (or was it at the "yellow" forum?) a couple of months ago.
