Blops2, skyrim and SC2 WoL all working great on my 460 sli. Can't wait for the expansion 😀

Fps was pretty much at ~ 120-125fps all the time (maybe few dips to ~ 90ish fps) and camera felt even smoother compared to early 313.96, more fluid.
I played at 900mhz OC - 4-5 rounds (DM) and I didnt crash yet.. Also no high pitch sound freeze.
Metro2033 played ok too.
Im installing TomRaider now, I will see if i have any issues with tessellation, etc.
EDIT: I benchmarked tombraider and it didnt crash, but TressFX takes a big hit. And sometimes it leaks memory?/direct compute if i turn it on /off and test again.. FPS drops to 10fps, quitting the game fixes it.
Also Ambient Occlusion has some micro glitches around her face, tiny particles of garbage.

These drivers and the v314.07 WHQL ones seem to be very, very, very bad for the recently released Tomb Raider on my system as they cause a total system freeze, anywhere within a minute to ten minutes of playing it. The only fix I've found is to disable tessellation which allowed me to play for almost two hours into the early hours of this morning before I decided to go to bed. What am I complaining about then? Well for one I bought two GTX 680s to play all my games on maximum settings so having to disable features because of silly bugs/bad drivers is just insulting really.
Have these drivers been tested with Tomb Raider at all because I'm seeing lots of reports from other NVIDIA card owners , mostly from the Kepler family, experiencing similar freezes and crashes to the desktop?
I have to say that I'm extremely disappointed that this is yet another major release to join Crysis 3 which has performance issues on NVIDIA hardware. Makes me wonder why on earth I continue to buy games at launch. Seems it is best to wait several months for patches and driver updates then buy the game when it is also cheaper. I just never learn. At this point the next-gen consoles are looking more and more appealing...

I'm been reading that the v310.xx drivers work fine with Tomb Raider and tessellation so it points very much to it being a driver issue in the latest v314.xx ones.

I can agree, I only just got Far Cry 3 couple of weeks ago.Love the fact that patches get installed right after initial installation.Runs pretty well for the cpu that I got.If I had gotten it at release I don't think I would've been a happy camper.

Starting to wonder why Nvidia even released these drivers a day before Tomb Raider. Should have waited a couple more days and had one game ready driver ready for us.
andressergio
but is it really a DRIVER problem with TESSELLATION or a GAME ENGINE problem ???
Darren Hodgson
Could be both.
The earlier v310.xx and recently released v311.06 drivers apparently work with Tomb Raider and tessellation so there is a problem with the newer v314.xx driver code, possibly caused by the changes NVIDIA have made between the v31x.xx and v314.xx code and optimizations made in the game for AMD graphics hardware (since it is an AMD 'Gaming Evolved' branded title). Looks like NVIDIA have been a bit slack with the testing on this game or perhaps the developers made late changes unknown to NVIDIA. Whatever, it is yet another buggy launch release to join all the others.
Ain't PC gaming just fun!

jeeze Darren...thx for your quick reply !!!
someone say that 314. earlier also work can anyone confirm this ???

Well TomRaider works ok here with this driver, i mean no crashes because of Tessellation.
But there are some memory leaks, usually it stalls for a split second right before cinematic camera sequence or new area. Memory goes down 100-200mb (from 1240mb) then back up ~ 100mb (1100mb).. fps also drops in that moment.
Most noticeable was right at the beginning of the game - when you try to get out of that cave., its not so much now in the jungle.
I also dont have any Tessellation issues because of water, it looks normal.

I play it like so

But again performance is all over the place - im suspecting that DirectCompute issue with TressFX, gpu usage 99% all the time @ 930mhz/2170mhz.. Memory usually ~ 1100mb.

i heard there was a 1GB patch to the game, made any difference? any notes?

Isnt that the launch patch ? you are forced to use it

IDK, Could be.. Steam downoladed something, retail DVD stopped at ~ 7.2GB then it downloaded another 1.6gb or so.

Yeah, got BSOD in Tomb Rider (STOP: 0x00000119).

When I had tessellation enabled I was even getting intermittent stuttering during the pre-rendered FMV sequences such as the intro sequence (yeah, crazy, right?) and 1-2 second freezes during the real-time cutscenes in Tomb Raider. Once I disabled tessellation the game and movies played fine without any hitching at all. I'd suggest that anyone with a Kepler (600 series) card either turn tessellation off or use the earlier v310.xx or v311.xx driver for now until the game has been patched and the drivers updated.
I'm a bit annoyed to be honest as I was looking forward to playing the PC version with all the eye candy enabled but I'm not reverting to an older driver simply because I'm playing other games too such as Crysis 3 which the newer v314.xx drivers have been optimized for. I hope this issue is fixed quickly but I've a feeling it might takes a week or more, especially if it requires a new driver to fix it.

I'll just wait a few weeks until all the issues sorted out. While looking forward to it, what makes me cringe are the QTE's characteristic of past TR games. I like thinking games, not reflex action ones that require finger ballets across several buttons that must be done in micro-second precision.

so anoning play my love game with crashes

What triggered this code, nv... or something else?
Few possible codes, its not 100% the same but maybe its worth checking, that's if you OC.
0X109 = add DDR3 voltage
0x19 = memory voltage

Speaking of game crash I didnt have any issues, only in MP after I picked up a machine gun
