Last beta's were horrible for me. Just gave these ago and ran Sky diver benchmark for the first time as the drivers i used before would just give me a black screen.

Now time for some BF4
 
Geforce experience couldn't update this for me would just hang,Downloaded off Nvidia's site it removed my old driver then crashed:( , reboot install again all is Hokey dokey :)
No idea what was up at first,, only issued i've had with a Nvidia driver but sorted itself out in the end

I always uninstall the drivers first, reboot, uninstall all the other Nvidia stuff then delete the folders in program files....

Reboot

Install new drivers

Reboot

I was having problems with the last beta's in Watch Dogs. These WHQL's seem fine.

I've given up on that game. Swapped my 7950 for a 780ti and was convinced it looked worse. Found out I set it to "low" whilst drunk....

Bunged it all in ultra and was blown away on the last driver, installed the latest and I'm thinking it looks pants again. I'm now running worsemod v1.0 which solves one set of problems and causes another load.

Just ran firestrike and I've gained a whole 5 points lol :-)

Very weird the new drivers are.

I was playing TESO while downloading, VRAM usage was at 2.6GB (4K downsampling from game settings).

Installed the new drivers. Reboot.

VRAM Usage went down to 1.8GB, again with 4K downsampling. high fps consistency improved also, and the graphics quality as before. (same Nvidia control panel settings, and ingame settings)

Spend half hour trying to find out if any of the settings went down, but nothing.
Weird stuff.
