    Very nice by nvidia, will give these a go for the sake of Ghost Warrior 2, tomb raider works perfectly for me.

    Like iaTa mentioned in the other thread in the clevo section, you have to be on version 1.0.722.3 for these to work properly (tomb raider)

    Did anyone do any benches with it already? I heared that previous beta's bench results were somewhat lower vs WHQL.

    Benchmarks no, I currently dont have any banchmarking software installed. I did however see massive improvements in Tomb Raider not 60% but I did gain 25 frames. Sadly no improvement in Ghost Warrior 2. Usually Betas tend to have lower benchmark scores than previous whql's maybe someone can confirm, i dont think its that important though, as long as your previous games which the beta shouldnt affect, work fine

    Currently having issues with driver, some games work with optimus e.g. Sim City, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Sleeping Dogs, Skyrim will run on the nvidia gpu.
    But the Sims 3 and Far Cry 3 'has stopped working' when I try to launch the game (using nvidia gpu). If I force those 2 to run under the integrated GPU they will work. Any ideas how to fix it? Both of them have had a recent patch lately 1.5 and 1.05 respectively which might have broke it. Tried reinstalling both games as well.

    I've only Repaired installation and rolled back the drivers to the last WHQL driver.
