freedomofthedarkendheart Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 The game runs very smooth of course i am overclocking the gpu the gt555, graphics are a bit better but it's the same average models and designs they always use.

Founder Brian Posted November 18, 2012 Author Founder Share Posted November 18, 2012 There's a newer 310.54 driver out now, gonna create a thread in a min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rassal Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I tried those new 310.54 on my 7720, but playing the new Need for Speed Most Wanted, i was set down to 10fps at 1080p... with the 310.33 i had like 45-50fps... had to rollback to 310.33 to confirm that something is wrong with the 310.54 on NFS:MW... i wonder what... Maybe the fact that i am using Windows 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
