    It it is normal does this means that the 177.41 would be the best driver to use if it is able to reduce the clocks to a lower speed than the 177.26??
    and how is it normal? because the driver was designed for asus and they locked it to this speed when idle?

    Sorry I didn't see your second post. The idle temperatures are normal as most people get 65-68C.

    Forceware 177.41

    With this driver the core clock and memory clock are way lower than the 177.26...

    Way lower? Its just the way powermizer works. It downclocks on the desktop, when nothing intensive is going on. Normal behavior.
