Skyrim lag spikes

[Scaleo]

Hello,

Skyrim used to play very smooth on the Nvidia driver before 296.10, than I downloaded the 296.10 Nvidia driver on the GTX550Ti.
Now I am having constant lag spikes, when there are no lag spikes the game runs smooth but around every 15 seconds I am having 4 second lag spikes.
Could this be caused because of the 296.10 Nvidia driver?
Or because I set the ''decal quantity'' to ultra settings (it used to be on high settings), I did this because they said that the performance were boosted.
For the rest, I did not change any settings.
Can somebody pleasy help me?

Try to roll back to the previous driver. Were you able to play on ultra settings with the previous driver? You could also set the decal quantity to high or medium setting to see if that helps. 296.10 is probably buggy.

There a quite a few issues with the 296.10, try the new 300 Series driver. It may help. The wierd link about the latest driver promising Skyrim performance boosts is that the "Boost" part isn't as much as said

This is why people should learn to wait when it comes to some driver updates. Roll back and during install uncheck the online update option so that it doesn't update on it's own in the future.

Well, the new ''300 series driver'' was horrible for me.
So do recommend to use the Nvidia driver before the 296.10 came out?
