23.11s caused drop in 3dmark2k

[spazzkid]

am wondering, have any of u guys encountered score dropping on the new 23.11s? by drivers before that were 21.somethings... it scored like 5454 in 2k (all at default speeds)... now i get 5438 out of the new drivers. i know theres not much significance... but arent the new drivers supposed to boost performance? this kinda sucks :mad:

Some drivers that they come out with boost performance when some make it more stable at a lose of performance.. drivers are all different depending on both the system and the video card..

oh ok. but i forgot to turn vsync off thats why i lost a few points... i normaly turn vsync off after i install drivers. after that i got a boost in points... not really significant but atleast much better than the ones i used to have using 21.somethings driver.

They boosted mine up alot...

try the 22.50 they seem to be the best nvidia drivers to date....

Just a thought, perhaps there is a loss in speeds, but did it make the card more stable allowing for a higher overclock and ultimately higher speeds? I'll give up a few fps early for long term overclockability.

go with www.guru3d.com/ or go to a search engine like google and type Nvidia beta drivers

Yes the det's support tv out.

Sorry, mates, but Guru3D is gone. I have no idea where to get drivers now. Well, there are the obvious for current drivers, but I'm not sure about beta or past drivers.

Regclean works great and so does Norton.
