Questo l'ho notato solo ora...è possibile? Mi sembra un tantino esagerato.

Non vedo l'esagerazione, in modalità DX9 con Crossfire attivo e filtri sono riusciti ad incrementare le performance di Lost Planet dell'80%.
Considera che dietro hai un Crossfire, non un sistema a singola scheda e le prestazioni spesso raddoppiano se i driver sono ottimizzati per quel titolo.

Ah ok in questo modo è plausibile. pensavo partendo già da una configurazione dual-gpu e non single. Per quello mi sembrava strano

Volevo solo segnalare che i link del primo post non sono più funzionanti, probabilmente anche quelli del topic dei driver Nvidia.

No i link sono funzionanti...non so perchè però non c'è il link diretto ma bisogna fare copia-incolla nella barra degli indirizzi..bo!
xeno appena passi dacci un'occhiata

Intendevo proprio questo. E' un problema che si è verificato in parecchi topic dopo l'update, per risolvere basta che il creatore del post vada a editare il proprio messaggio, a volte senza modificare nulla.
