Hmm, our brother Tom's report uplift in more games and in part of them with huge percentage.

WoW. Do you see what resolutions are tested. 4k&8k.
Hardly any normal person would play at such resolutions with graphic cards with performance in the lower part of today's mid-range.

This version also finally fixed the 1440p over DisplayPort issues that cropped up back in July with 4575. I can finally switch back to running my main display with DP.

I get the point about 8K, LOL. However, I was wondering about the DirectX 9 performance.
