Fallout 3

Things are much simpler with Fallout 3. GeForce 182.08 is logically an outsider again, while versions 185.85 and 186.18 are way ahead of it, especially on GeForce GTS 250, where average performance gain may exceed 30% in low resolutions. So, there is only one choice here: GeForce 186.18, because it not only offers the same performance as version 185.85, but also has certain issues resolved.

Mirror’s Edge

This game has an fps limited set at 60-62 fps by default. We managed to turn it off by editing the TdEngine.ini file.

Strange as it might seem, GeForce 182.08 showed the best minimal performance in low resolutions. However, the differences in average performance levels started showing only starting with 1680x1050. Moreover, the noticeable improvement of 7-11% occurred only for dual-GPU GeForce GTX 295. Despite the promises of 45% gain made in GeForce 185.85 release notes, we saw nothing even close to that. With GeForce GTX 285 the effect was not so dramatic: only in 2560x1600 the gain exceeded 2-3% and reached 8%. The performance gain from the new driver was also quite insignificant in the system equipped with GeForce GTS 250.
