    Hello. I use Win7 64-bit, ForceWare 197.28 (because only this driver supports all techs and normal scaling) and BIOS A02 (I have downgraded a few days ago. It shows a little bit wrong temp but works much faster and reliable than A22). Now I have only 4GB of Corsair Gaming memory. No problems with PS CS5. It works very fast.

    May be you should check your memory first and then try to check dpc latency.

    I found that cardreader driver on my system was not correct. But I guess you should check your system by yourself.

    The only way I know is using Hardware Monitor. It has a line item for that particular information... see below:

    Lol...means it's still calculating the actual batterylife. Try letting the battery run out once, it'll give the right percentages after that.

    The calculation is probably based on the theoretical specs of the battery.

    Maximum attainable voltage vs. actual voltage when the charging system reaches steady state.

    Take it for what it's worth...

    The wear will probably be a bit more accurate already as it can read the orig. capacity and 'till how far it can be charged now. Just let it run empty and your wear might go down to. Just let windows running 'till it close itself.
