    Has anyone tried out Dox's 180.70 drivers on their late 2008 MBP? I've waffling on giving them a try since I mainly just play TF2 these days, but I've heard there are some performance gains to be had. Has anyone tried?

    Be aware of any modded desktop drivers !
    Use 179.xx or 176.xx !

    i just installed dox's modified 180.84 driver, runs well, had his 180.48 driver beforehand, i did lose about 200-300 3dmark06 points going from 180.48>180.84 though which i thought was weird. i only use windows for gaming though, i wouldnt install a modded driver if i was using windows all the time because its a modded desktop driver it has some issues, like the computer won't sleep and such.
