How do you know he will? Do you have a GT216GLM [QuadroFX 880M] (rev a2)? Just because many people do better with proprietary drivers does not mean everyone will.

With Pétùr's particular hardware and software combination, there could be none. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
