Tremendous gain in FPS with new Nvidia drivers

Thought I'd throw this out here for those of us who have bad FPS in the game.

I tend not to update my drivers unless I run games that struggle on my PC, and Fallout 4 obviously does. So I updated to 358.91, and didn't notice any difference. Same sloggish 20-30 FPS everywhere.
Then I grabbed version 359 yesterday, and BOOM - vast improvement. The game runs much more smoothly now. It's still full of bugs, but now I can enjoy them in a rock solid framerate.

I've got a Quadro FX card, not optimal for gaming, but not terrible either. If I go to the Nvidia site they will suggest Quadro drivers for it, which are absolute shit, so if you've got a laptop or similar you'll want to tell their driver picker that you have a GeForce card, and it'll give you the good ones.

I have the latest update and mine still runs like shit despite having a GTX 780 3GB.
 
Hm, when was that driver released? I got my new card (GTX 970) only last week and I didn't notice any performance issues so far, so... Dunno if it concerns me at all, anyway :D
