Hi guys and gals.
story is i had gotten into some games that had requested i updated my driver, NVIDIA Geforce GTX 970 is the one i "upgraded".
while there wasnt any issues serious enough to bring me to believe it was 100% necessary i thought maybe the update might work out a few kinks here and there and improve the all around gaming experience.
well after the installation i booted up some UT 1999 and to my surprise the intro was sucked into the void and all that was left was a black screen and some barely distinguishable text.
the only way i had of fixing it was to mess with the options menu in the video driver settings.
but after that running a practice round booted the game speed to that of 20 times and the FPS was in around 800-1000.
as of now i have not tried any other game as i had all this finished at 2am and couldn't put up with 100mph skyward giblets.
