Just ran some Unigine benchmarks with this new driver, and it seems i am getting artifacts with my current overclocks....

do you still get arti's without any OC ?

No point, 3GB already enables absolute max settings. Performance is identical.

I've heard people saying that for Ultra + MSAA you need 4GB as it sucks up ~3500MB of Vram.

Yes, but it only seems it artifacts in Unigine Valley. Ive just tried stock clocks and i was getting the same artifacts. Also played a round of BF4 and that runs fine. I do notice a increase of heat though.

Still no wolfenstein the new order SLI support? what about the 3D vision bug for the new tomb raider game, where it was impossible to play the game with 3d vision enabled on win 8.1?

From what i have read. Wolfenstein will never see SLI support due to the engine being not compatible with multi-GPU cards. Quite a bummer though.

Ok then it could be that there's an issue between this bench and the 2 last drivers. 'have an issue with that too, but CoD mw3's issue as i posted above is way more bothering !!!

I get 40 fps with some dips to around 20fps with everything on ultra on watch dogs. I have a 660 watercool with 3gb of ram, 2600k OCed to 4.8ghz, 16gb ram, and a 840 Pro 256gb. Game feels smooth to me. Watch Dog's is using all 3gb of the Video ram and about 8.9gb of system ram. I have page filing turned off. The game is using 99% gpu load and my cpu jumps around 25% to 45% on all cores during game play. I game on a 1080p TV.

Ultra textures + TXAA x4 uses about 3600MB of vram. I posted pics of this in the Watch Dogs thread. I did manage to get vram usage down to about 3000MB by turning shaders and shadows to low.

I am running 2560x1600 and ULTRA settings. When i try to set 8xMSAA i just get a instant driver crash lol. I hope they can reduce the VRAM usage in the patch tomorrow.

try stop playing benchmarks and start play games to me valley may explode since games runs smoothly

30fps is playable, more than playable.

yes on pirated version and with "low" system ram ie 6-8gb :P

8GB of system ram is not low ammount of ram. Anything more and its just overkill.

I just run it to check stability of new drivers and maybe a increase of performance.

is better real benchmark games... like metro last light... tomb raider... grid 2... hitman absolution... f1 2013... nba 2k14... all these have good benchmark tool and different engines to show real improvements...

Full details on GeForce.com: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-337-88-whql*******dog-drivers Also a Watch Dogs Graphics, Performance & Tweaking Guide: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/watch-dogs-graphics-performance-and-tweaking-guide Err, mods? The board auto-censored the word 'w a t c h' and a couple of dashes in the URL for the drivers - can you fix it please?

im playing with the recomended setting on a gtx 770 2GB, runs persfectly at 60 pfs max, my min fps are 41 when there is alot of stuff, but i recommend TXAA2x better graphics and a little hit on performance but still playable.

Where did you get this info? A 780ti stuggles with Ultra textures!

Depends, ideally you would need 16gb system ram (pagefile off) @ ultra textures/detail and 3gb vram with temporal SMAA Also TXAA is fps killer - 4x TXAA has 8xMSAA perf. impact, can cripple 2x Titan Blacks at a little higher reso., funny though Nvidia claimed it has max 2-4xmsaa fps hit.

Adam • 2 hours ago Lol I'm probably wrong but what happened to "4 x TXAA only takes the performance hit of 2 x MSAA but gives similar quality to 4 x MSAA"...I swear that was in either one of the first TXAA game articles, maybe Blacklist?..I dont use TXAA, prefer MSAA but just wondering Great in depth article though • Andrew Burnes (Admin) • an hour ago Not every game is equal; in most games the quote holds true.

So much for that then.. 😛 Kinda reminds me of GTA4 system ram requirements 1gb vram with 2gb system ram no way @ high textures, huge stutters, had to use low/medium. 4gb was just about right @ high textures (vram wasnt a issue), but stuttered time to time when driving around. 8gb was ideal..no more stutters or anything like that, was now cpu bottlenecked back then lol:D

i had to reinstall the drivers using DDU, as when i just installed over the top of the old drivers i had problems in 3d mark firestrike very low Fps , but since doing a clean install removing old drivers in safe mode (win 8.1 64 ) all back to normal , thats the 1st time that happened to me .

i have 16gb ram 2133mhz 9-9-11-24 and always use pagefile disabled... so i don´t need add -disablepagefilecheck code in watch dogs executable right?

If a play any game at 30fps it looks like it's running in slow motion, so 30fps definitely isn't playable for me.

Yes you don't need to add. The game is already forced to use system ram 🙂

lol, once you play at 60fps it's hard to return to the 30fps games, i know that feel, glad i'm used to play now at any fps from 30 to 60+ fps.

lol, dont think so, i have the same setup, and pagefile disabled, and afterburner still says that im using 5 gigs of pagefile and 4 gigs of ram, soooo what ?] at least on that black version of the game, god i hope tomorrow the guy from delivery will be here in time...:chainsaw:
