Pay attention. They did this for Bioshock and other high profile titles as well.

Yeah, ATi did a hotfix (weighing in at the size of a full driver release) for Bioshock, and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars didn't run unless it had the updated driver. It's really not that unheard of at all for game-specific driver updates for graphics cards, especially big titles. Also bear in mind Nvidia engineers are working with Crytek...

I just tried installing these on my 6880GTS 640mb and a lot of resolutions have been removed from this version.
I can't have 1280x720, so I went back to the prev beta drivers sad.gif I hope crysis works ok with them.

Source?



And any comments about the drivers? They're a big jump in version numbers (compared to the last few sets)
