We're getting reports where users are getting intermittent low FPS after installing these drivers. It seems that it is related to the fan control included in these drivers not working correctly and is causing the video card to overheat on 3D applications. This will affect Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft and StarCraft 2 Beta. Please uninstall the drivers and revert back to the older ones.

Sigh...that explains some things I guess.  For some really weird reason, I kinda sorta thought that updating one's video driver would IMPROVE game performance. How naive of me.  Unfortunately, I needed to update it, because a couple of other games that I've been playing were having some issues that updating the driver seems to have helped with.
