    looks like these drivers have real issues sorting out their clock speeds. mine keep fluctuating from max clocks to minimum clocks just when normal use. in gaem they stay at max, but ive just booted up my coputer and checked and they are stuck at max, then dip, then jump back to max clocks.

    I think that's a problem with the 190 series drivers. If you want the best drivers, 186.82 or 186.81 is the way to go.

    i tried them, but the 195 drivers seem to be amazing at AA on low res, which i need cos my gfx card is ****.
    i had 186.82 before this. they were very good, but the AA in 195 is better. i might go back to those just to see how dirt 2 runs. maybe when i have a bit more time on my hands.

    Say NO to 19X.XX Forcewares currently. Generally, it's problematic to many users. However, there's minority able to achieve better result/benchmark with it.

    Official Forcewares which are good currently are v186.82 and v186.81. You need to try both in order to know which suite you more.

    For my GPU 9100M G
    It works as it should.
    After uninstallation you should use CCleaner to remove registry traces if the previous driver was between 186.91 and 195.62.

    I manually uses CUDA-Z to push the Power State

    Default Clock hence it works

    Nvidia depreciated the PowerMizer Registry tweak since Driver version 185.XX

    OK. Just test Dox's 195.62 v1.1, the result is good.
    I got higher score on 3DMark06 and more features on the NCP.
    Only problem is the stupid brightness control again.
    Dox claims to fix it already. But, many users still have this problem.
    It's not DOX's fault. It's Nvidia.

    The Original's 195.62 sucks. Poor performance and brightness control problem.
