Graphics card? Operating system?
People on vista, especially vista64, tend to have to jump through hoops to get this to work.
The game "looks awesome" the same as the last few driver releases too. Unless I hear there is a huge performance or stability change as well.. I'm not even messing with it. I'm still using the 185.20 Beta drivers from December on my main system.
Don't know if CoX uses it, but there is a "new feature" in these drivers, ambient occlusion. CoX wasn't on the list here, but some other fairly popular games are. Just from what I see in game, and knowing that an option even exists for "uselightmaps" I'd wager CoX doesn't use this rendering feature. So "your mileage may vary" but me personally, I'm going to install them, to make FO3 look better. Oh and I'm using a 9800GT on Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
I'm guessing the Ambient Occlusion is Vista only, as I am running the 185s on XP, and I see no options for it in thr Control Panel

[/ QUOTE ]Ambient Occlusion was in the 185.20 beta driver that was "leaked" in December as well.
Any 185.xx+ should have it.

[/ QUOTE ]You are right, Ambient Occlusion is not available under Windows XP. It should be the first option listed in the NVidia Control panel for Vista users though. I assume Win7 would have it also.
But I still use XP, so I can't verify whether or not CoX uses it.
They are working great for me. The game looks awesome.
