HTC HD2 Gets Patched Video Drivers w/ 500% Performance Increase


HTC still seems to be having issues getting good video drivers released for its devices, and the beloved HD2 is no exception. Chainfire from XDA has come to the rescue! Just as we have patched drivers for our Diamonds, Touch Pros, etc., he has released a patched driver for the HD2 that could possibly increase OpenGL performance by 500%!
