    HOTFIX drivers ain't fun. The scores don't show up automatically in the 3DMark.com leaderboard. The driver ain't valid :( Risking fried graphics for a Red Triangle :D You could uninstall some of the MSI bloat, and same time pray to God for better scores :p

    Maybe Futuremark needs to change their strict validating policy for drivers. Aka, Work tighter with Ngreedia :rolleyes: Within 24 hours, gather correct info then change status for the Hotfix. Nvidia could pay for the extra work :D If you screw up, you should pay for it!!

    http://international.download.nvidi...notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international.hf.exe

    Nice pick btw...better than previous versions.
    Code:
    - Download nvidiaProfileInspector from here -> https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Orbmu2k/nvidiaprofileinspector/build/artifacts -> "export all customized profiles" -> leave unchecked "include predefined settings"
    - DDU
    - Disable driver signing
    - 7-Zip  -> extracted driver package >> delete folders as shown above (don't skip this step) <<
    - Display.Driver folder -> copy only the corresponding INF file(s) below -> run setup.exe -> custom -> clean install option -> "Installation Successful” -> close installer.
    - nvidiaProfileInspector -> "import profile(s)" -> "refresh current profile".
    - Reboot
    - NVCPL -> Change resolution -> "Use Nvidia color settings"
    
    
    Alienware PEG M15x, M17x, AW17 R1, M18x, AW18 R1 (including Optimus/M17xR4): nv_dispi.inf + nvdmi.inf
    
    Alienware 17 (2014) *Optimus* 980M - 970M: nvcvi.inf

    @Phoenix: Will we see another WHQL driver after 10 hrs that claims to increase the VR performance of Spiderman homecoming by 1 frame or something similar.

    It is the minimalist version of nvidia driver w/o their Front end Software like NV control Panel. So alternative to NVCP is NVidia inspector profile.
