    never cared much about benchmark scores, more concern about the game performance.....let's see if it did any change to any other games that I have

    Mechwarrior Online feels like it got a slight FPS boost, but kinda hard to bench it...

    Is the driver better or worse?? I've finally found a method to fix the stuttering in BF3, so I can use new drivers now. No need to roll back to the stock driver from Clevo. Just wondering if I should use the beta or the official 314.07.

    You've gotta try for yourself. Is kinda different for some people. I tend to stick with the whqls and only use betas if a new game doesn't run well.. So far tomb raider for instance runs perfectly but I still might try out this beta just in case it runs better ;)

    Did anyone try the 311.06 that windows update is rolling out? In guru3d there are users saying they perform great in many games and are super smooth. Tomb raider doesn't even crash on 311.06. Don't no if it's also for mobile gpu's.

    i didnt even know windows released graphics drivers.
    im guessing these are for general every day notebooks and not our beasts for gaming. i could be wrong though.

    i also had to roll back to physx 9.12.0613 as once again with the latest vantage kept stopping at crash and burn test.

    no idea but ive never had a problem doing it old skool for the last 5 years except for the initial oem drivers loaded on p150.
    i tried the auto update and they failed so i went back to safe mode way and theve all loaded fine since.

    I have always just used express install settings right over the existing drivers never had a problem, I guess Ill skip this one for now, does it even help compared to 314.07?

    I am just trucking along with the .04s myself, a very stable release as far as I can see.
