(RESOLVED) Penumbra Performance Problems?

[SirRaven]

Scrap your video drivers. 93.71 is so freaking buggy it is pathetic. I have a 7600GT-CO and I had to revert back to 84.21 drivers cuz the 93.71 would lower my performance in some games and had problems moderating my gpu fan speed. I could almost guarantee your problem is driver related....I haven't seen such a bad batch come out of nvidia in a long time.
