    For me, I wait until others have tried out new drivers. Nvidia has had a rash of really bad drivers recently, so I'm letting others beta test for me.

    Yeah, looks like these new drivers have a serious issue keeping the VRAM at very low speeds no matter what game played.
     
    Looks like Nvidia dropped the ball again and will need another hotfix.

    Running the vram at high speeds is a good thing. Why would you want the vram to run at low speeds when gaming?

    The issue is the VRAM running at 810Mhz max for certain configurations.

    There's a thread for this driver on GURU3D where they are discussing this issue with VRAM speed. ManuelG from Nvidia is involved and looking for data.
