Last week I decided to update to the latest 314.22 driver hoping/expecting to see a bit of a increase in performance as it's been specifically tailored for Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider. After running a couple of benchmarks it was clear that it had a negative effect in the region of 15-20%. Previous benchmark averaged 65.49 on using the drivers pre-installed by the guys at PCS. This dropped to 55.51 using the new 314.22 so nothing major frame rate wise but a little surprising nonetheless. After reverting back to the original driver, as supplied on the driver disk with the laptop, I'm now only hitting 42-43 fps and somewhat confused by the whole situation. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I'm guessing PCS would have just used the standard/default Nvidia settings on the most stable driver at the time? Anything obvious that i'm missing/forgetting?

When you rolled back did you uninstall the existing drivers? I think you must have had to but if not
1) Uninstall All the GPU Drivers,
2) Restart
3) Download the New Driver either the Stable or the Beta you like
4) Install from fresh
Also make sure that the AC is plugged in and that the machine is in High Performance Mode.

After much tinkering and uninstalling/reinstalling I've settled with the most recent 314.22 update. It's still averaging a little lower than it was before (latest benchmark was 57 fps) but I've quite simply had enough. I have far too much to play and far too little time to do it in at the moment so I'm just going to enjoy what I've got.
