    Yeah I just finished a session of Skyrim and hadn't noticed any issues. On the flipside I hadn't notice any performance increase either.

    Actually I do notice one thing - I no longer have a slight delay when right clicking my desktop, or items on the desktop.

    I was able to narrow the cause down to CCC as its been an issue for quite some time, I even posted a question on it at rage3d but it never got any traction. Anyway the issue is finally resolved, many iterations later. Yay :)
