56.55 Driver POOR performance with FX 5900

I got this driver from Guru3d.com and scores from all my benchmarks went
down by 9% -15%. Anyone else having the same results?

Haven't noticed any dramatic drops in performance, but
come to that I haven't looked any benchmarks and card
is only GF3 Ti200 :-)

Are these 56.55's really the first drivers that do have
this nice profiling-system for games? Quite handy, now
I don't have to go and manually switch that damn VSYNC
on every time before playing Beyond Good & Evil...

What do you need to do that for? I love this game, but boy is it particular
about the video settings!

Intersting. The water is completely messed up in Beyond Good and Evil on my
system with the 56.55 drivers.

Not mine. The game looks great. I did have to change some of the settings
though.

If VSYNC is off, graphics are terribly corrupted.
But I guess this is a demo related issue... hopefully, because
I'm very attempted to get the full version in my hands.

I see. Which settings did you change?

I had to turn off HW Vertex Processing and W Buffer, and I had to lower the
antialiasing just a hair from the top of the slider.

Aha, but doesn't the game run a lot slower without HW vertex processing?
Anyway thanks for your help, I'll try your suggestions.

Nope. It runs like a charm and looks beautiful. I had to turn it off
because I was getting major graphics corruption.
