So let me give you guys the full picture: back then I thought "gaming" laptops were a good thing. They are not.
Built mine with decent specs at the time (mind this late 2013):
- i7 Haswell 4700MQ @ 2.4 GHz, 6MB Cache (max turbo to 3.40 GHz)
- 8 GB DDR3 (1600 MHz) / (2X 4 GB)
- Seagate SSHD 1TB - 5400 RPM + 8GB SSD
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M GPU (2GB)
Currently on Windows 8 64-bit.
Now this mufucka right here won't let me update to any driver past 347.09 (December 2014). Any of the 2015 drivers won't let any of my games to launch (in or outside Steam).
Other GPU-enabled applications, however (Adobe Lightroom, etc) will recognize the new drivers and work perfectly.
So, if I want my applications to work fine with my GPU, I have to use the latest drivers.
If I want any of my games or Steam to work, I have to roll back to super ancient drivers.
Did anyone have similar problems?
