游戏性能提高很多 ，2K9不卡了

1、这驱动跑Folding依然不行，比177平均下跌10%。
2、控制面板里面PhysX还是不能选择副卡，尝试过在8800GT x2的机器上 和 MCP79 + 9600GSO的机器上都不能选择副卡作物理运算，这可是177时代都能做到的事，严重的倒退。
3、SLI双显示器支持依然差劲，仅仅只能用主卡输出双显示信号，也就是说SLI模式下跑Folding依然无戏。
4、SLI模式切换还是会触发输入法消失的bug。
5、COD5时， 开启 4xAA后水面花屏的bug依然存在，8800GT SLI开始阴影选项后卡死的问题还是没有解决。

值得一提的是，177时8800GT视频输出色域选项与标称相反的bug终于被修正了。

综上，基本与之前泄露的180.44区别不大，Big Bang II只能说是雷声大，雨点小。
