    Didnt wanted to create new thread, so posting here..
    The new driver Version:7.15.11.7644, A03 was out for Nvidia GeForce 8600M as well on the same day for XPS M1530.. and i am running 7.15.11.7597.

    I tried the 176.44 driver, and did not see any difference from the 175.97... I didn't see other user' reporting any difference either..

    I put it on mine and now WoW has 30fps


    before it had 60 :/


    but it does play smooth and to be honest it doesn't seem like it's going on 30fps (no laggy choppy video)


    Edit: now it goes from 30 to 50ish and 60 and 61...doesn't seem bad though

    These drivers do make the m1330 run hotter which is very worrying.
