    I can't seem to find a driver that plays Skyrim/BF3 well on the M14x, but also runs GTA V. If anyone knows which driver can do this please let me know

    EDIT* - I'm currently using non WHQL 295.18 drivers, which will not allow me to change graphics settings in GTA V

    Where did you get that 295.18 version from? Because the current latest are WHQL 285.62 and 290.53 Beta. I'm currently use 290.36 because the 290.53 seem to increase the heat but not much performance to either Skyrim or BF3.

    You can follow the link before for the 5 latest driver:

    - 290.53 BETA

    - 290.36 BETA

    - 285.79 BETA

    - 285.62 WHQL

    - 285.38 BETA
