    Update:     Mobility modder seems to have an issue modding 10.1 so dont waste your time just yet. The admin over at Driverheaven verified the issue and he said they are working on it.

    Same problem here, seems theres a change in the coding and mobility modder isnt working properly on it. I guess we have to wait for the developers to update it.

    many people with desktop variants are explaining of poorer performance with these drivers (IE loss of ~1000 points in vantage / 3dmark06)

    i noticed a gain of about 600 points in 3dmark06, and a loss of about 900 points in vantage. haven't tried gaming on them.

    They say major changes in 10.2 and 10.3, so I think I'll wait until then. My 9.12s still satisfy my needs and this doesn't seem to offer much of a performance benefit-especially looking at the above.

    Still waiting for the updated version of mobility modder to test the flickering in Mw2, performance shouldn't be that bad, not that many complains about it. The most issue people are having with this drivers (which i cant confirm yet since i cant install the drivers) is that the screen occasionally goes grey-black and you need to reboot your computer in order to fix it (although some people said ctrl + alt + del works).

    Hopefully 10.2 and 10.3 will worth all this waiting.
