Man... this is weird... I recently upgraded from the previous 196.21 drivers to the 197.13 drivers. The upgrade severely lowered my 3DMark 06 total score.

On 196.21 I scored 21,270. After the upgrade, I went down to 16,623. That's close to a 5k drop in my score! What's happening?! Anybody else experience this?

Oh and my GPU and CPU:

SLI 2x GTS 250 787/1836/2024

Core i7-940 2.93Ghz @3.4Ghz

Same clocks for the 196.21 test and the 197.13 test.

I'll probably roll back but are there any other people out here experiencing the same problem?!

Hey guys I'm planning on heading out later today to pick up a new cooler for my 940 to replace the stock one. Thing is, I do not have much space for a ridiculously large heatsink + fan. Any suggestions on the smallest possible coolers that are effective?

I just installed it. No issues. I have to say, this driver update is absolute ownage. I can play Napoleon Total War on ultra at about 40-50 fps with 2x AA. I LOVE IT.

I've been in AP European History all year and we started studying World War I recently. It dawned on me, "I really don't know that much about the war! It's always eclipsed by WW2 when it comes to the media."

This then raised the question for OT;

Do you guys have a fairly good knowledge of WW1? As much as you have of WW2?

Why do you think WW1 is almost always eclipsed by WW2 when it comes to story-telling and portrayals by the media?

Hmm I've looked into those two. The I like the tactile feedback on the Lycosa. Btw, do you have any idea with what's up with the Razer Tarantula? I can't seem to find ANY store selling it?!

WUS GOOD.

Aite so atm I've got a Logitech G15 Revision 2 keyboard. Since I've got some cash lying around, I was thinking of picking up another board to try out. Are there any other gaming keyboards out there worth giving a shot? Oh and also, I was also contemplating the G13 keypad + G15 combo, so picking up the G13 is an option too.

Ayo forget the 285 and the 295. When the next gen cards come out, pick up the 5870. The MSRP for the 5870 is around $400 right now, when the new Nvidia cards come out, the 5870s will receive a pretty substantial drop in price.
