    Hi guys. My Aw17 (in signature) had a 3D Mark score about 2.900 until few days ago. But now it score 2.700, maybe it depends on Windows 10 automatic drivers update? Actually i have Nvidia 369.09.

    I shut off the Win 10 automatic drivers update.

    You shouldn't compare 3DMark scores across different 3DMark versions.

    Make sure that 3DMark itself didn't update.

    You right, but i have noticed a frame drop during game (War Thunder). So i made a 3D Mark Fire Strike test and i discover the score drop.

    As i presumed. I downgraded the Nvidia drivers from 369 to 359 and the score is back to 2.900 (Fire Strike normal).
    Now i switch off the drivers auto-update.
