LSudlow Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Way slower than 301.42 on my 525M but maybe faster on a newer GPU. We may be seeing my old theory at work here: Performance improves in the months after a GPU is released as drivers become better optimized for it, then declines as drivers become optimized for newer GPUs. Finding the peak driver is the challenge. I'll wait and see how this series shapes up in subsequent versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
