Downloading now. I knew Nvidia & AMD were gonna have special drivers for BF3 but I didn't think it would be until release. Thanks Rob!

Performance measured vs. GeForce 285.27 driver on GeForce GTX 570 at 2650x1600 (DX11).


That's a hell of a performance jump for just a 570! I wish they told us what the SLI performance gain was.
