I got an interesting tip from a friend to manually install my nvidia driver instead of using the ones that come with my distribution.(In fact, I actually used the xorg-edgers driver for this test just to get equivalent versions)
After a few runs of the unigine valley benchmark on "Extreme HD" settings, I averaged 20.6 FPS.
I manually installed the 319.32 drivers from the Nvidia download, and then ran the benchmark again. I got a 26.8 FPS average, a ~30% increase.
I thought this was an interesting(probably well known, but unknown to me) tidbit. Has anyone else seen similar performance increases by manually installing their drivers?
edit:
probably worth mentioning I use a GTX-660.
