    Recently installed the drivers 266.44, and my Minecraft has been suffering badly. I usually got 60+ FPS with all the highest settings before updating my drivers, now I'm getting less than 10FPS even on it's lowest settings.

    Any Minecrafters who are running the 266.44 Nvidia drivers experiencing this?

    I've noticed white-listing Minecraft.exe doesn't work too well. Try right clicking and running with the 335 and see if that works.

    Where is the option to run with the 335?

    EDIT: Nevermind, found it! Hopefully this works.

    EDIT2: It worked. I also optimized and defragged my hard disk, so alls good :)
