Thank you, Shawn! Let's give that driver a test

EDIT: well, after 12hrs and some testing... This driver feels good, there's almost NO stutter at all in FIFA '12 or the EURO 2012 DLC, Battlefield 3 is practically the same, NFS The Run is the same thing (the game is capped @ 30fps), Skyrim is a lot snappier... and I ran out of games... hehe

Mine was the same Jeepman, 7.7

I had a quick look in Nvidia control panel and discovered that the update had disabled SLI, I re-enabled it and hey presto, back to 7.9

Sweet - I've been working like mad lately and I plan to spend some snuggle time with the PC very soon. I'll download this and the Skyrim 1.6 beta patch tonight and be going to town!!

Everytime I update I have to redo my setting(they never keep). Plus I know my sli settings is on because I run Tri-screen (3x24"). So I'm still not sure what's up with it yet. Just before I updated the driver I also updated the cards bios, to unlock the fan speed limits. So it could be ether that have made it drop to 7.7??

> GTS 450
What?

Edit: My performance in games dropped like a rock too, I'm worried. The performance drop happened after the reassessment.

That is when mine happened too.

The latest drivers seem to have screwed over my graphics and I need my card running in tip-top shape in 8-9 hours.

I'm rolling back to the 296.10 drivers.

EDIT: The rollback seems to have fixed it, the new drivers are very buggy, I read there is some "idle bug" or something. I'll be researching drivers before updating from now on.

Working fine on GeForce 9600M GT. All video card startup services disabled as well.
