That's all great stuff...but the net result is still that the game runs like crap. Maybe part of the minimum system requirements should read something like "...and driver versions that are not yet available. Please consult ATI/nVidia to determine when appropriate drivers will be available."
What drivers were the testers using? What about the devs? What about the folks that said "Yeah, this is good. Ship it." Maybe they would be kind enough to give us the same drivers they were using.
