Please help! I'm only averaging 25 FPS in Skyrim on an NVIDIA GTX 765m (2 GB) ... Changing the settings from Low to Ultra does not change the framerate.

I have an ASUS G750JW with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz (8 CPUs), 8 GB DDR3 RAM, Windows 8 64 bit. I tried updating the drivers but then the system failed to boot -- so I rolled back to the OEM's drivers.

Should I attempt to install NVIDIA's Beta Drivers??? Other than that, I can't figure out what would be causing the low framerates with my hardware.

Solution
Ok, I figured out the answer ... LOL All I needed to do was go to the NVIDIA Control Panel, & under "Manage 3D Settings," turn Vertical Sync off ... Presto! 40 to 50 FPS
