    Can you determine what driver version it is, because chances are its a really old one.

    Hmm thats actually the latest official driver from Sony it seems, its really and is probably the best to have at the moment unless you like beta drivers.

    I installed it earlier today, and I have had no issues so far. I just wish I had the motivation to benchmark before and after.
