In the first part of this article, we recommend users to use Forceware 66.81 which is older instead of Forceware 77.72. It lacks the bugs affecting Splinter Cell and F1 Career Challenge plus it also offers overall faster performance than the 77.72.
However, we did note that this may not always be an option for users. Newer PC games may have bugs or incompatibilities with Forceware 66.81 and the fixes are incorporated in Forceware 77.72. There might also be other bug fixes not related to graphics performance or new features. We don't think that this particular area was address properly in the first part. So, naturally we went back to testing, this time with three different games. Just like before, we perform this test both on the GeForce 6600GT with Forceware 66.81 and 77.72 and the Radeon X700 Pro with Catalyst 4.12 and 5.7.
