Last week I played WoW at 270~ fps upon building my new computer. The next day, WoW tells me that my Graphics card drivers are out of date, and I drop to 30-40 fps.

I have formatted the PC since then, re-installed all drivers from their given CD, and through the NVIDIA GeForce Experience program. Yet my WoW still says my Graphics Driver is out of date, along with the 30-40 fps.

I've also followed some additional steps from the help of one on the WoW forum, but have had no success. (Windows updates, driver uninstall, driver fusion, driver re-install)
If you're interested in my dxdiag logs, this is the thread, http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/12329673005

Running my PC with the following;

Windows 7 Ultimate
BenQ XL2720T
Asus P9X79 LE
Tte Toughpower 850 gold
i7-4930K CPU
GTX 780 GPU
16GB RAM
2TB + 4TB HDD

It would be highly appreciated to hear if anybody has a solution, or an idea to the matter :)

If at first WoW said my driver was out of date, how would rolling back the driver fix this?
Mind you, there hasn't been an update to begin with, I've had the same driver (just re-installed it a few times now) since I built this PC last week.

Well 2 things. First, 270FPS is a rather high amount, but with your build I can understand it. Second, the issue is clearly a driver issue. Sometimes new drivers make framerates worse. If WOW doesn't let you use rolled back drivers, we cannot help with it.
