Here is my Windows 7 Experience Index using the stock graphics driver:

Stock driver

And after installing the newest driver Forceware 197.45, it becomes:

Forceware 197.45

The only change is that the "Gaming graphics" subscore drops from 6.4 to 5.2.

Is the stock graphic driver more optimized for Windows 7? Or is Forceware 197.45 buggy? Should I revert back to the stock driver?

My configuration:

  • Athlon 64 X2 5000+
  • Asus M2A-VM (AMD 690G, SB600)
  • 6 GB DDR2-800 RAM (only 3.25 GB usable under Windows)
  • GeForce 8600 GT (256 MB)
  • Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
