reading this was torture. every pageclick a new ad, with a link that when you click to go on, right behind it is a banner ad that you will most often also accidentally click.

The thing that would interest me the most but was left out...did the minimum frame rates increase with newer drivers?

Hell of a feedback.
Some of you complain about strictly a confort of clicking a page and read.One about advertising and the other that the site is payed by someone to get nice reviews for products..Really with this article i see that driver updates past 10.8 don't deliver miracles unless there is a big problem (like incompatibilites and bugs) but in terms of raw performance the things are quiet obvious that is not much of a change..The performance increase is very little (3-4FPS on average)..

I have no problems with this site. Firefox + Adblock Plus + NoScript to the rescue.
