I got a pretty good fps increase when moving to Windows 8 on GW2. 🙂

Same here with Just Cause 2, Mirror's Edge(finally pure-smooth with PhysX), Serious Sam 3 and with few other games where game would hitch here and there due to my dual core. I am almost 100% sure that Windows 8 has less cpu overhead compared to Win 7, or some other CPU optimizations because my Win 8 gaming experience has been just phenomenal 🙂

Good drivers for me , been of Bf3 for a couple of hours no problems and seen a increase in FPS . Just one thing Ive noticed with this set ,is that Heaven DX11 benchmark is now using 109% ! Gpu usage but also seen a increase in sore . Keepers for me . PS no clock problems and overclock and boost clock remain the same as 306.97 . :banana:

It's so good, that I am afraid to install anything on top of it. Audio/video codecs, Realtek audio driver, or even regular applications! I am trying to keep bloat with my Win 7 installation. I also have clean Win 7 installation but 8 rules supreme, I kid you not 🙂

Well uh, Black Ops 2 runs well with these. Good job, keeping over 100FPS on a 5 year old engine!

Figured out the problem.... MOHW resets to 60 Hz every time you start it with 310.54s. I have to change res to something else, apply it, then go back to 1680x1050 120hz, problem fixed. Every start this reverts. Only with 310.54. So only folks with 120hz LCDs will see it. That tells you how sensitive my eyes are to this stuff.

Ah, maybe the same case with BL2..?

Where is the Black Ops 2 SLI profile ???

According to NVIDIA, it is due out on 12/11/2012 (that's 12th November to you, non-Europeans!) and the SLI profile should be received automatically through the Windows Update tool. *EDIT* Er.... or what Blair said (better).

I finished MOHWF yesterday, it ran perfectly fine on 310.33 Betas, don't see why it won't for you guys either. Downloading the driver now, lets see what it holds for me.

GW2 still freezes when turn aroung the camera with SLI 680gtx. Bf3, FIFA13, DIABLO3, CS:GO run perfectly.

Yes its ok too on my old yorkfield, SS3 ran faster and smoother. ------------- As for this driver [r310_44-2] and BF3 TDM 32player match; its fixed, no more low fps. I played over 2hrs on Noishar Canals at OC 900/2200mhz and didnt see any fps drops like by 310.33 & 310.34 [r310_00-103]. Ok except for one new small "bug", its a quick fps hitch every now and then, 70fps-70fps-67fps-70-70-70-67-70-70-70..-67-70-70 (vsync off, 70fps game engine limit in cfg, 2 frames to render ahead in nvcpl profile) started happening after 3rd or 4th map restart. When i changed the server it stopped again, could be something that happens after a while. Or maybe its threaded optimization - auto fault, usually i play with it on. ok except with 306.97 it was at auto (found it smoother), with 305.67 it was better with it on. Anyway good that they fixed lowest fps, this driver branch is on the right way, thanks nvidia. 🙂

In July we launched the TXAA-enabled GeForce 304.79 beta drivers, and in August The Secret World, Funcom’s technologically-advanced MMO, became the first game to support the new anti-aliasing technique. Gamers and the independent press agreed that the result was super smooth, free of troublesome aliasing, but some felt the new TXAA-enhanced image was too soft. To that end, Timothy Lottes, NVIDIA’s FXAA and TXAA mastermind, has improved the technique, making it sharper and more defined. With today’s 310.54 beta driver installed, Kepler GTX 600 series users will be able to evaluate the fruits of Tim’s labors for the first time, in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Assassin’s Creed III, which both feature full in-game TXAA support. For those without Black Ops 2 and/or a Kepler video card, we’ve put together an anti-aliasing comparison video that demonstrates the benefits of TXAA compared to the shooters’s other anti-aliasing options. For that, and more on Black Ops 2’s tech, check back tomorrow. As for Assassin’s Creed III, check back nearer November 20th for the full scoop on Ubisoft’s impressive and technologically-enhanced PC version.

Looking forward to the enhancements made there.

These drivers run super great for me in BF3. Better fps, performance, no stuttering at all atm or massive frame drops 😀 Edit: Ok, now after 3 hours playing straight, bf3.exe cxrashed for the 1st time..

Ok so I got the time to play some BF3, and the FPS slowdowns have decreased a lot. But when it does slow down, it stutters like crazy and then becomes smooth again. It kinda gets annoying that such smooth experience is abruptly interrupted. It doesn't matter what's happening on screen, when it stutters, it stutters. It's a step in the right direction, far better than what it was before. Hopefully by the time the WHQL comes out this will be completely resolved.

Any point in getting these for 580 sli? These performance boosts over 306.97 are only for 6xx series correct?

odd, no performance fixes for Borderlands 2?

Maybe because the issue lies with Gearbox and not Nvidia?

310.33 was perfect. 310.54 see above - it doesnt stay in 120hz, every time you start the game you have to select resolution with 120hz to get it to go back to 120hz

I fixed these types of issues by removing 60Hz as a usable refresh rate at my native res.

i r jelly :finger:

Fermi and other GPU owners deserve TXAA Timothy Lottes has already said it could be done. Simply Nvidia trying to get us to Purchase 6XX cards. Something that I will likely NEVER do unless we see a card with normal overclocking instead of power boost. Not even for TXAA.

AndyB, when will we see SMAA implementation, which is already supperior to FXAA and TXAA? Why waste time and resources to promote a subpar AA method?

I LOL'D.

Im still have the problem that colors are appearing to have texture to them instead of being solid. I will try to show an image but I dont think it will show the problem on other screens http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af298/dsbig123/color.png on my screen with these drivers that above color is not solid. its showing checkered lines in the colors

The "choppiness" I get with Lucid MVP seems to be the same issue a lot of people have reported on various games, as for me, it only seems to show when moving around or moving the camera (I get the same issue on all 310.xx drivers, Windows 7 and 8 x64).
