    I was worried. Thought there might be an issue with my 780m.
    Wonder if I can break 8k tonight with a small OC

    The release notes they linked are wrong.. Their site has them linked wrong as well under additional information. You have linked in the thread here the 320.14 release notes, nvidia also have the 320.14 linked under the 320.49 beta drivers which is also wrong.

    The official forum post on the nvidia forums however have the proper release notes for the 320.49 drivers.

    official forum thread -> https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/548402/geforce-drivers/official-nvidia-320-49-beta-display-driver-feedback-thread-released-6-25-13-/

    how do you explain your 7280 to 7600+ score with the same drivers?

    Voodoo? Magic?

    I'm not sure. 7280 was what I got when I received the machine. Not much has changed tbh.

    Could also say why was I getting 6700's with new drivers? Something was interfering.

    So... When I was running the 311.54 drivers here's my benchmark -> NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Notebook P15SM GPU: 7971

    Then after installing the 320.49 Beta drivers here's my benchmark -> NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Notebook P15SM GPU: 8068

    Here's my overclocked benchmark version using the 320.49 beta drivers -> http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/6778895 GPU: 9013
    ... I'm getting some mixed results while doing benchmarks in an overclocked state since my P150SM's 180W PSU cannot supply enough power and it's causing the GPU and CPU to not perform as they should.

    Hey all,

    Is it safe to install 320.49 on Clevo P150SM ? I tried on saturday and lead my computer to not even see the card after the reboot... I had to turn it off for a few minutes
    and on reboot the driver was deactivated by Win7 which I manage to uninstall and start again with 311.27...

    Also SC2 doesn't see properly the card somehow and I have to play on medium... Any ideas ?

    these drivers are old now

    they have been updated twice to 320.40 WHQL and now 326.19 BETA

    latest beta http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/725534-nvidia-beta-326-19-released-18th-july.html

    nvidia search NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search

    on a new system its advised not to update for a while especially beta drivers as the drivers you have loaded by the supplier will be oem tested drivers.
    i had major problems last year updating from the oem drivers. lots went wrong and only way to rectify it was to do a system restore.
