Forceware Series 81 drivers leaked

[Darksaber]

Well NVIDIA is putting further pressure on ATI with its new Forceware 81.26 (beta). An Austrian site HardwareOC.at has benchmarks on the new drivers, and shows speed improvements across the board. Even TheInquirer.net got 600 points more in 3DMark05 and an average improvement of about 10 fps in most games.

-The details at TheInquirer.net (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=26334).
-The tests at HardwareOC.at (http://www.hardwareoc.at/Geforce-7-Treibervergleich.htm) in german, but the benchmarks are in numbers of course.
-The 81.26 (beta) at Guru3D (http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1181).
