confirmed here too- runs 2°C cooler, also GPU-Z 0.4.4 started reporting correct clocks

Like Wishmaster.dj said, this driver is better at downclocking and it got better idle temps than the beta had! My 9300m gs was 60 celcius in idle on the beta and now it's 56 (as it should be).

In games I have not noticed any fps drops or boosts. I think it got the same performance as the Beta, but I haven't got time to check it in a benchmark.

At first I thought it was good. Loaded it up and ran 3dMark06, got my highest score yet, stock. Overclocked and went to run the program and it black screened on me as soon as I opened the program. Did the same thing twice more, both times surfing the net. As far as I could tell, everything was running, the screen just went black. Reverted back to 197.45.

25x series drivers seem to be causing fits with G92 chipset GPU's for many folks. Hope they get it straightened out.
