!@#$%^& nVidia Updates!

I had always been an ATI man but with my latest rig, I went with nVidia due to the WOFF recommendations, and I must say that I've been very pleased, except for one thing: They seem to update their drivers weekly, if not daily on some occasions. Installing them requires me to run my CFS3 config for each of my installs and then adjusting them, etc., which is a real pain on such a regular basis. Any way around this?
 
Run CFS3config for one install.

Open the ConfigOverrides.xml file and find the line

<VersionNumberLowPart val="859538"/>

If all of your configurations are the same you can just copy the whole customized xml file into each multicfs3 folder.

If you have each one tuned specifically for that install, then just copy the new number into your existing xml file and save it.
 
Hmm... If this is an issue I think I can make the new build of my shaders always report the same "fake" driver version to the game.
I don't think reconfiguring cfs3 on every driver update made much sense even in 2002 and it is definitely pointless these days.
 
I just installed the latest hotfix update, 375.76, and I'm getting a consistent 2 FPS increase over the previous drivers.
 
I have a standard test scenario (low over Paris looking east at the Eiffel Tower) for checking driver and configuration settings changes and for a while now it has always resulted in 89 FPS. I just updated to Nvidia Drivers 384.94, and I'm now consistently getting 91 FPS.

My 3DMark Benchmark scores actually went down slightly, but performance in CFS3 is really the only benchmark I care about.
