The last major driver was the one that came not long after Skyrim ? I was expected abit more than a profile update.

These drivers are great, used to get 40fps in Skyrim on Ultra now I get constant 60.

Interesting that. Been running very stable for a long time but had a video driver crash yesterday.

which driver did you upgrade from though? The 290.53 had up to a 25% performance increase in skyrim pre 1.4 patch. If you enable the 1.4 patch (beta via steam) and use those drivers its a very smooth experience on ultra now.

I'm not sure, the one that was released in October.

Anyone tried them with BF3 yet? Re-downloading the game and would be nice to know ahead of downloading them, if they're an improvement.

No BF3 crash fix :/

I keep getting the new beta drivers, I've been having the TDR issues for a while now, once for every boot cycle - normally a few minutes after being in game. I will give these a go...

Never really had the TDR issue with drivers luckily. Installed and will give them a run tomorrow.

Ah that was the WHQL, the 290.53 BETA (which is the skyrim up to 25% boost drivers) was released on the 21st December.

Have you tried verifying game cache integrity?

Tried renaming clientregistry.blob so Steam recreates?

Have you got anything interfering with Steam? AV, Firewall etc..

Yes on all counts.

If I sweep the drivers and use the latest whql it will run but horrible performance :/
