    Hello Guys!

    First off, sorry if i put this in the wrong forum section and my poor english.

    I have an Asus Rog G741J, i recently formatted with windows 10, did the windows update until no more, downloaded the lasted driver from nvidia.com (it is an GTX960m 2gb DDR5).
    Thing is im experiencing several issues with this driver, not even lol runs smooth, fps drops and so on.

    I read somewhere on the web the original driver (from manufacturer) could solve this issue, but i cant find any driver for this model (its from france).

    Using a similar one (from G771 or G751 dont recall) improved a little, but not even close of what it was.
    Edit: forget to mention, some of those old driver dont even open more recent games, including blizzard games.

    Maybe i need to go back to windows 8?

    Thanks!.

    Check your thermals and also check official support pages for which OS has drivers for it - some older laptops have no Windows 10 drivers and getting it to run fine on them is tricky.

    HWiNFO, Aida64, RealTemp, GPU-Z are all good

    Look for your model's product page (or use the G771 since that one is almost identical to yours)
