I just downloaded and installed the newest Nvidia drivers for my video card, and get this: I re-ran the assessment and my Gaming Graphics rating went from 4.2 to 5.0, but my Desktop Performance for Aero went from 4.5 to 3.6. How can there be such a huge change with one driver?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Full Version: Updated Nvidia Drivers, Lower WEI Now
Restart your system and re run the assessment. At least that fixed the drop for me. The gains stayed on though. :-P

Ah, I'll try that; I didn't even get prompted to restart after the install.
wow it has been rather sometime since i have updated my drivers on my machine i should probably look into that lol.
Mine jumped in Windows 7 after the recent driver. Went from 7.1 to 7.8 for both.
i think its a setting change... new drivers may have different quality setting. try lower them from NVCP

It works fine without restart. Just throws wrong score on assessment.

Perhaps you're right; but I rebooted and re-ran the assessment and my Aero figures jumped to 4.3 (from 3.6 after a non-reboot re-assessment)
