This new driver and the hot patch has brought the second GPU of my 690 back into play. As soon as I reloaded and saw 3 figure FPS in the hanger I knew I was back to pre-horizon performance. Still can't get away with Terrain Detail on Ultra (about 15 fps) but High works fine (could only play with low and everything else max'd before this update). Still get some fps drops that last a second and the first time I tried to look at a surface map it took a good 30 seconds to load for some reason, but otherwise really pleased with the new driver/hot fix.
