Runs at 10 fps, benchmarks at 10fps, regardless of what the video settings are. Rolled back to 296.10, I didn't benchmark it but it was much better, seemed to be running about right. The problem is, 301.42 has a notable positive impact on Skyrim, so I'm kind of stuck with them. Has anyone else seen this issue with Just Cause 2? I've heard it might also affect Diablo III, but I don't have that.

Someone I know says he tried it with the same drivers, he also has a 560 Ti, and he says no problems. 60 fps benchmark and such.

I'd try uninstalling them, then restarting in safe mode and running driver sweeper to clear out any lingering driver files that weren't deleted, then restart and intall them again.

Turn your "performance mode" to "Maximum performance" not "Adaptive" in Nvidia control panel, then reboot your pc.

Seemed like reinstalling worked, although there's no end to this computer's problems.
