    Thanks man, updated profile for Tomb Raider should come in handy. Think it's necessary to do a clean install with driver sweeper?

    thats how ive always done it for the past 5 years and only ever had one problem with the original oem driver on my p150
    after the initial first update its been fine ever since using driver cleaner pro/driver sweeper and even cc cleaner which each software found different bits of nvidia crap the others had missed.

    updating now and will run benches first before i post back.

    Sounds good, I'll give it a shot. I used to avoid registry cleaners with my old 7970m, since I had some BSOD issues after using driver sweeper once. Didn't help that the old beta drivers were ridiculously glitchy as well lol.

    So another crappy set. I will keep 313.96 for now. There are rumors that nvidia will release another beta... like it did with 313.95 and 313.96. Thx for posting u're feedback.

    The clean install option in the drivers themselves works well enough.
