This new performance option is bullcrap , it does not fix the clocks jumping and down like a yo yo while using windows 7. Not sure what it's like in vista .
Im staying with what works 186.39! Quote: It was caused by aero! just hovering over mininmize/maximise/close buttons will cause it to jump up, as do other aero features. setting basic theme solves it, even with the sidebars present. So aero IS causing these jumps with the new nvidia drivers | My System Specs |

Yes but you can't do it with the main exe you have to make a shortcut for it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Compaq Presario/SR5113WM OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64/ Windows Vista Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ 1.9Ghz Motherboard Asus M2N68-LA Memory PNY Optima Memory DDR2 2GB 2x1 kit Graphics Card PNY Nvidia 8400 GS 256MB Sound Card On board RealTek Monitor(s) Displays Acer X163W LCD Screen Resolution 1366x768 Keyboard Standard 102 key with volume and sleep buttons Mouse Wireless Logitech LX7 PSU Dynex 400w Case Nothin Special Cooling Stock Hard Drives Western Digital 160 GB SATA 3G (3.0Gb/sec)
