Cornelious0_0 over at [H]ardOCP's Forum has thrown up his 3DMark05 Forceware Comparison!

That's right guys, you guessed right, I'm back in action.....this time with 3DMark05. I just finished downloading it myself and have yet to run it.....but starting tonight I'm going to be running 3DMark05 through with all 30 or so releases of the 60series Forceware drivers.....just to give a wide range of numbers....to see how one might expect certain drivers to react, and because I've got nothing better to do then pump you guys full of numbers.

TechSpot's Drivers section that opened last year has now over 2,000 files listed and it's now being updated on a daily basis, during the last 48 hours for example, They have listed new BIOS updates for MSI, AOpen and Gigabyte motherboards. Then of course you'll be able to find much more, from videocard and soundcard drivers, to network adapters and firmware for optical devices.

I don't need to say much this time, the drivers will speak for themselves ;)
