    Hello, I don't know if it is newest web browsers problem(Mozilla and Chrome have this issue), but they lagging, view seems to be blurry something similar to not having installed/loaded drivers for instance in virtual machine/safe mode. I have windows 8.1 x64 with aero addon, nvidia 860m and hd 4600. I've already tried 362, 364.72 and 364.96 nvidia drivers, for HD 4600 I have 10.18.14.4332(maybe someone has modded 10.20 beta working with 8.1 x64 and can upload them?), any ideas how to resolve this?

    Have you tried those browsers with out the aero addon? I have noticed that the latest FireFox is a little slower, especially in seeking my bookmarks, but after initial few minutes it is OK again. No blurry problems.

    Yes I did, and chrome with some themes doesn't have aero but it still lags, it is all probably due faulty optimus combination with 860m and hd 4600, I'm still experimenting with different drivers of this two and looking for really working with 8.1 - 10.20.xx - mobile intel driver.

    This sounds more like a Browser or Graphics display problem. So which Graphics does it use when you use the Browser? And what kinda make/model is your computer? At least knowing what system you have can give others whom have it a reply to know what is going on.

    It depends, mostly on HD 4600, but I've seen that there are periods where it is switching hd4600(1-3s)>860m(1-3s)>hd4600(1-3s)>860m(1-3s)>hd4600(1-3s) in very short periods of time like few seconds.

    Asus N551JM with i7, SSD, 16GB ram and 860m 2GB vram. on windows 8.1 x64 with aero addon, latest versions of firefox, chrome.
