T61 NVS 140m ***LENOVO vs MICROSOFT*** DRIVERS
T61 NVS 140m ***LENOVO vs MICROSOFT*** DRIVERS
Since my last blue screen I have decidet to play around with my drivers!
I found out that the microsoft Drivers gave me 15.000 Points when running 3D Mark 2001 vs a weak 9000 Points with the Lenovo windows 7 drivers.
I mean thats a %40 performance gain!!!!!
Whats up with that?
Temps are the same with both drivers.
Im just a lil worried about the Microsoft Drivers cause of my Blue Screen from 2 days ago and another one 3-4 months ago.
Did any 1 else experience such performance difference???

You obviously have way too much time!
It's getting awfully boring, the way you drag this out

Why don't you try drivers directly from Nvidia too.

Did I miss something somewhere?
What's wrong with trying to find the most efficient driver? I was going to load up the one from Thinkvantage Software Update, but used the one from Windows Update. Seems to run fine so I haven't changed it out. That being said I don't think it's wrong with trying to find the best driver for a given piece of equipment.

So did you determine which drivers are best for performance?

It's possible that Lenovo's lower-performance driver was designed to reduce the heat generated by the GPU, to prolong the life of this chip. If that's the case, I would rather use the Lenovo driver. Sometimes less is more.hoax32 wrote:I found out that the microsoft Drivers gave me 15.000 Points when running 3D Mark 2001 vs a weak 9000 Points with the Lenovo windows 7 drivers.
