Personally i'm seeing about a 5fps increase on my sig rig with nvidia drivers 169.25 beta (the WHQL ones actually drop my performance) running the GPU bench and both of the CPU benchs in the 64bit folder.

From reading around the SLI support hasn't been improved that much, but i've a feeling this is more an issue with nVidia than Crytek.

5 fps is nothing to laugh at really and a good sign of things to come if this is the first major patch.

EDIT: This patch gives you a second a CPU bench file (I think its called "bench_CPU2.bat" I wouldn't run it unless you've cpmpleted the game as its a bit of a spoiler about the final levels.

Must download this later on - cheers.
