    what is the max clock speed in this driver? The 309 was fine at 999MHz but the 310.70 was doing a bit weird at 999Mhz.

    No crashing in BF3 I actually get 5+ FPS more on average.

    Sleeping Dogs got a slight boost too, Just Cause 2 untouched.

    Thanks for the heads up, installed. I suggest unless it breaks your games everyone does it.

    OOPS. responded to the wrong post, I meant to respond to the post about the security exploit.

    LOL so strange. According to the release log this driver should only patch a security hole and add a few 3D Vision profiles.
    Oh well, a few hidden goodies is always highly welcomed. I think I`ll download it too :D

    These are 310.70 with a security fix.

    Hence they are WHQL so close to others release.

    I know this is a little bit late, but this driver also fixes the Assassin's Creed 3 "hair lightning bug" for older 200m series cards, in wich the characters hair were a mess of mixed colors.

    If I noticed correctly my WEI score did drop with this driver from 7.4 to 7.3. This compared to the last whql.

    I wouldn't worry about it. The WEI GPU scores can drop or go up for no apparent reason, just keep on running the test and you'll probably get a 7.4 again without doing anything else.

    about 5 drivers back mine went up 6 points from 7.1 to 7.7 and now back down to 7.6 for overall score even though two of them are at 7.9
    its a total waste of time even checking it but we all still do it dont we :D

    Agreed. Just play your games and see if they feel good to you. Chasing benchmarks is a fools errand.

    Actualy the only thing i am using my dGPU for now is benchmarking. Nothing i ever ran on this machine couldnt have been properly done by the HD4000 :eek:

    WIE isnt a proper benchmark. It makes no sense as all. I am sticking with 3dmark11 or vantage. I am still sticking with my 306.97 because it lets me get a better overclock. With what i am seeing 310.90 only takes a 135MHz core clock. THe 310.90 doesnt take the nvInspector overclock methode. Anyone got any experience with working with those batch files on the 310.97 driver?

    Love this driver. On BF3 I'm seeing a steady 60-90 FPS on Ultra (more if you look at the sky - obviously), minimum about 50 FPS. It seems to be, yet again, another very stable release.

    Thank you NVIDIA!
