can WEI be wrong?

After a fresh format and install of Win 7 (my previous processor was 4200+), my games suddenly started giving choppy performance (with the latest nvidia driver), with audio stuttering in-game. So I installed my drivers from ASUS (old ones for win 7), and now my gaming score in Wei has gone from 5.3 to 5.4!!! What's the deal guys?:shock:

Video drivers especially, from your PC manufacturer will perform better on your PC. The code may be slightly altered in the driver to fit your configuration.

I am not a gamer; but I have found that the latest Nvidia drivers are not always the best. I have had to install older drivers to get the best performance and clear up problems.

I have just tried playing NFS Most Wanted (1.3), the video and audio stutterings (happen at the same time) remain the same . I tried benchmarking everything went smooth , no hiccups, I can't point my finger at the damn prblem...video encoding goes smoothly, no problems there either!! Just games, i guess.

Can the Gfx be responsible for the stuttering? I've tried benchmarking with 3dmark, and furmark and so on- the card held firm, didn't crash or show artifacts! That's why i'm confused, could the BIOS somehow been messed up because of over voltage when I updated my chip from 4200+ to 5200+? I've had to flash the Bios, everything went ok except for games, which stutteered horribly along with the audio
