    Only play BF3 and so far the 304.79 Beta run smoother and they seem faster on my old 15.1.1 Intel wifi drivers, seeing I got the new 15.2.0 Intel wifi drivers this morning, I'll giver the 306.23 WHQL another go.

    P.S. Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6235 if it matters to you.

    ...your wireless drivers should have no effect on your graphics drivers...

    I installed 0613 and started seeing random blue screens. I uninstalled them and reinstalled 0604 it hasn't happened since.

    I beg to differ, the way that some software might reacts to other software installed on your PC is generally call a conflict if it causes a problem. I don't believe that all conflicts renders a piece of software useless, some just leave it performing poorly. Some MS updates can cause something else to screw up, in reality it "should have no effect" on other software installed on your PC, but some times it does. That's why I like to test how different versions of drivers work with each other and on different settings, it can't hurt.

    I think there's something wrong with Adaptive Vsync in these drivers, getting stuttering and shakiness where I never had it before...also, I've had a few driver crashes while overclocked, so there's something wrong there as well.

    Rolling back, I never had these problems before.

    Adaptive VSync is removed for me on my GTX 675M. I also get constant WoW error #132's with the 306 drivers. Reverted back to 302 and the issues went away.

    My screen tearing is really bad and I can see black vertical lines and shaky screen. After I quit the game and reconnect, every thing is fine. It always happen the first time I start BF.

    I switched back to 0604. I noticed with 0613 the PhysX test in 3DMark11 gets slowed down a lot, only 15FPS, switched back to 0604 and it went back up to 26 FPS.
