those mentioned "Benefits" i will going to try and see whether is bullshit or what.. but why don't have FEAR 2 in the list.

tested with Crysis .... i don't few any difference at all in Very High setting with 1920x1200...

according to the xbitlabs.com testing, no bad, cause i'm using 4870x2 with 1920x1200 resolution.

ya, i feel the GTA 4 run more smooth then before.

i just wondering why need to release separate hotfix every time. this is funny. anyway better then nothing.
