    Anybody noticed on the R2 that the Intel Graphics HD WEI score (the Graphics entry in the list) has fallen back from 5.3 on the 280 nvidia driver to 4.7 on the new 285 driver. does the older driver do something (better?) to the Intel HD graphics preformance?

    In your power profile is the intel hd set to balanced or high performance?

    you need to check in both the intel graphics settings and your power profile settings.

    good luck
