zipper Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Current hardware into use - MSI GT73VR 7RF with GTX1080 and i7-7820HK. Windows 10 Home 64bit. New benchmark tools 3DMark11 and 3DMark Fire Strike, Fire Strike Ultra and Time Spy. I'll use default settings and casually do some overclocking.

zipper Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Tried GeForce 391.24 Mobile OEM - in every respect a tiny bit faster, recommended to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 391.35 notebook WHQL driver - 2 benchies down, 2 up. So pretty similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted April 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 And updated overclock results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted May 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 397.64 notebook WHQL driver - maybe a little slower, except Time Spy is as fast as on older drivers. And getting a bad reputation on MSI notebook forums - overheating and dull performance complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Now 397.93 notebook WHQL driver - back to normal level, best Time Spy result. Might be worth trying - let's see if something negative pops up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted June 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Now 398.11 notebook WHQL driver - might be a little better on older benchmarks, Time Spy similar result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted August 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 At last remembered to try 398.36 notebook WHQL. Amazing improvements in some tests as if running on overclocked system. Must later recheck if the results are real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Now 399.24 notebook WHQL. Time Spy slightly better, others a tad down. Pretty similar yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted September 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 New territory - 411.63 Notebook WHQL. Seems pretty problematic, a vast step down on some tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted October 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Time to forget the miserable predecessor, 411.70 back to normal level - FSU and TS new all time highs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Then 416.64 hotfix driver - all tests a little lower but almost insignificant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 416.98 WHQL laptop driver. Still a bit slower but not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 417.01 now - pretty similar except 3DMark 11 down quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 417.35 now - pretty similar but a little faster especially on 3DMark 11. Still 398.xx - 399.xx are the fastest around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted February 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Jumped to 418.91 - nothing positive to say, gentle downward tendency continues. Probably supporting RTX makes older hw to suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 419.17 tried - back to business again. Good level but 411.70 still the king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Now 419.35 - Time Spy a little better, others a little down. But just tiny differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Interesting - 425.11 hotfix driver gave the best Time Spy result so far. Other figures are OK, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted June 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Jumped straight into 430.97. Time Spy is the best so far, other tests OK, not impressive. Hotfix for Time Spy results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 You are knocking 7k score there impressive, nice improvements over time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted June 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Almost +6% from the default drivers - not too bad! Perhaps should try some OC if I could break the 7500 border... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted July 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Now 431.18 hotfix - impressive rubbish except on Time Spy. Others down to levels 16 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 431.60 WHQL tried. Miserable results, Still a bit more down. Wonder what they are doing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe latest security fixes steal performance? Security Bulletin: NVIDIA GPU Display Driver - August 2019 Did you try 435.80? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
