Don't forget there is also a new MMC, which is supposed to be very buggy.

I am curious on this post also since I noticed a big improvement in 01...about a 300 mark increase...and have had no issues with any games so far...but also not pushing my system real heavy right now until I get a better PSU...

No offense but did you completly remove the old drivers first? Did you use a program like driver cleaner and such and be positive you deleted all remininsce of your last driver install?
These drivers seem about the same to me in perofrmance, benchmarks and games alike. THen again I dont do a whole lot of either and have only installed them in my media server.

No i did not use driver cleaner and probly jumped to conclusion, my bad. I lost 300 point in 03 and 8 frames in CS:S. Would someone please give me the driver cleaner program.
The only thing i did that made sense to me was to run regedit and go to the Control001 and 003 and delete all the keys that had + in front of them in the video section. But when i installed the new drivers my configs were exactly the same so obviously it totally delete them all. How do you delete the whole thing.

I heard that the 5.3s were actually worse than the 5.2s which by the way were junk to me.
I installed the 5.2s and I decided to play some HL2 on my 24" LCD and the gameplay had some serious studdering action going on even though I'm packing some pretty decent horsepower for a system.
nonetheless, I went back to the 5.1s and the studdering has now disappeared.

I did the driver cleaner and still no luck, oh well. Back to the 5.1s.
After i reinstall a new driver shouldnt my options go back to default? Well they dont and i cant figure why they dont even with driver cleaner, im im getting ****ed at these drivers
