i play an MMO every evening on my gaming desktop and know exactly how it should feel... after installing ASUS P8Z77 V LK Intel Graphics Driver 9.17.10.3223, its noticeably choppier, frame times are all over teh place, and tonight it even crashed once: [code] i haven't changed any in game settings. Temps look normal. Is it possible a driver update makes things this much worse, or am i imagining it?

i haven't changed any in-game settings. Temps look normal. Is it possible a driver update makes things this much worse, or am i imagining it?

after a driver update, games often rebuild their shader cache, which causes stutter for teh first sessoins. give it a couple of runs, or clear the driver shader cache manually in teh control panel / %LocalAppData% cache folder and let it rebuild once.
