* Another Note: 77.30 will fix the shadow problem found in BF2.

could you also compare the 76.45 driver and the 73.00 from Asus' Z71v support site?

I was using 76.45 previously, I had post it somewhere around here but can't find it. It is much faster than 76.45.

Not sure about 73.00 from Asus support site. I haven't tried that one.

I'll try the 77.50 next, since I had heard it is a tad better than 77.30. But I was amaze how much improvement from 77.30 over 76.44.

I would use anything above 76.00. Anything older than it, many claims to have the tempeture bug.

This link seems to be broken. Can anyone point me to where I can get a (prefer free) system (temperature/fan, etc.) monitoring app for Z71V? I'm not overclocking or anything, but just curious how hot this baby is running sometimes.

Agreed! It should get stickied either way!

Regarding the Xtreme G drivers, it looks like there's only a difference if you overclock. At stock, the scores look the same as the laptopvideo2go version.

off topic: hey, my 1400th post!

Yeah, from the 77.30 version and up, it seems you would only benefit if you o/c it. Even a small o/c value will show up a good amount of differences.

I've played Empire Earth II and EQ2 with the 77.62 @ 290/550. Seems to be runing great. I get pretty good fps as well, compared to earlier version.
