    Hi guys, its a good day today! lol
    Nvidia just released the WHQL 285.62.
    The worth points are:

    - BF3 Optimizations
    - TDR issue fixed
    - Batman AC optimizations
    - Rage optimizations
    - Stability and performance improvements

    These are the links:

    Also what its cool is that we dont need to mod our drivers! Seems that my G53SW is supported by the installer now.
    After ive extracted the driver i was about to edit it like i always did only to find that all the dev id codes and lines that i need to add are already there.
    This means less hassle, more fun :)
    Give it a go, i just made a few races in Shift 2 with 850/1700/1600 and it didnt crashed. I dont think im stable enough for games at those clocks, but its an improvement!
    Thumbs up!

    Hope they actually did fix the TDR issue, ive never been so disappointed with Nvidia drivers before, and ive been running with Nvidia since my FX5500.

    Awesome!
    My G34SW shows up this afternoon via UPS. One less thing i need to hassle with when i wipe the drive and reinstall when it gets here.
    I really appreciate all the work you've put into drivers and support for this laptop series, Kingpinzero.

    I'm not believing, but it seems there's something special about this driver.

    Getting the first time I run the Games for more than 40 minutes in "GPU ​​840Mhz @ 1V " without shutdowns.

    My temperaura come in 80 degrees Playing BTF3

    That we will be Blessed? kkkkkkk

    Saw a nice increase in 3dmark 11 with my G74-SX. Crossing my fingers that the TDR issue is fixed, atleast hasnt happened so far :p

    but my luck!
    I was only here in the topic Post praising the driver, the problems returned.

    until it appears black magic.

    joy of the poor, short-lived

    disconnections is still occurring. same as before.

    quit this business of overclocking.

    algun genius while not figure out how to circumvent this problem of disconnections, we limited the overclocking.

    Well I do crash at 850 as before, but not in all the games like before and not after 1 minute.
    I guess I can be stable at 840 at this point :) great driver so far!

    Thanks! If I run into any issues i'm sure it's probably already been covered in the forums so I doubt I'll be asking much.

    Again thank you for sharing your knowledge and empirical data.

    I'll give this new driver a go and report back if I have any issues with it, as soon as I get my machine running.
