If you are happy, we are happy
The only thing that annoys me I that I already have these drivers loaded. Tell me the specs of your PC and I will run to buy the same
On a more serious note, good for you, you are lucky you can enjoy the game now!!!!
Obviously the new driver installation did some changes somewhere and unleashed a whole lot of power!
If it can happen? I can say yes, we had that same experience back in 2004 when we were running IL2 with the ATI Catalyst 4.9 drivers but with the ATI 4.7 atioglxx.dll and had 50% higher fps with the same quality (we had 9800pro and X800 cards those days....).
I wish we could find what it is and I wish it could do the same to my Win7-64bit...
