That ambient occlusion in Skyrim is gorgeous. The performance gains are very nice too.

Still no SLI profile for Alan Wake ? Come on nv, lay some of that driver support on us!

Installed these drivers just now. I get this super annoying bug every time I update nvidia drivers where after my computer reboots SLI is missing from the control panel and not working. Cannot activate or disable it.

Sometimes I can just reboot and it shows, this time it did not. Had to fully uninstall everything, delete all nvidia folders, reboot into safe mode and driver sweep and then back to normal and reinstall = SLI works again.

Not a big deal, but annoying.

Terrible drivers. Heaven benchmark corrupt textures.
BF3 enabled NO-CLIP mode! I kid you not. You can actually see through walls with it. Plus it brings back green texture bug and black texture bug.

way to go Nvidia..what happened between the perfect beta drivers and this one..

 

[Phynaz]

That's why I only update drivers when needed. Too much can go wrong.

Last driver update I did was to fix rendering issues in Singularity. That had to be a year ago.

Is there a working CF profile out?
NV has a profile ready but Remedy has to patch the game first. Still they could have catched this problem earlier, either NV or Remedy, I don't care.

No news on fixing the TDR driver crashing bugs in 5xx cards eh? Still getting tons of TDR errors with my 560Ti on the betas that came out recently. Will install these tonight.

Google says...

Yes.

I like the AO goodie for Diablo 3:

According to several people in the HardOCP forums it is producing crashes and BSODs. Maybe we all need to wait for a patch from Remedy.

 

[Shagger]

106kb download?!?! I guess I have to wait for all that buggy goodness!

 

[skipsneeky2]

Hmm,do i dare to go from 285.62 to this release?Haven't had any game or system crash's or nothing funny and i could almost swear they are as reliable as 265.58 which were my prior favorite drivers and those are a freaking year old already then some.

Used to look forward to driver releases but its a give or take situation,they fix something while screwing up something else.

 

[allenk09]

I wonder if they fixed my error report in TF2 with the GTX295 or if I'm going to have to complain about that again and go back to 285.xx

EDIT: Yay fixed TF2 and everything else runs great!

New drivers more often than not introduce weird issues for me. Not upgrading unless I have to

Try being brave ,anyway I updated my 560Ti drivers( from 285.62 to these) with no issues ,Skyrim runs smooth as silk .

NICE~> Fixes instances of texture corruption/artifacts in Battlefield 3 when memory constrained (typically on 1GB or less graphics cards running Ultra settings and high resolutions). Once in a blue flying planes I'll notice a texture FLIPPING out in the distance, if I pan away and pan back its gone. That's a welcome fix.

Still no SLi profile for Alan Wake, guess we'll be waitin a while.

 

[RiDE]

Still have to edit the SWTOR SLI profile manually. :hmm:

Wow looks way, way better with AO.

 

[Grooveriding]

I like the AO effect in Skyrim, had not tried it before.

I had to finally tweak some settings to avoid sub 60fps dips. Quality AO+ 8xTRSAA+8xmsaa along with the ultra textures and mods+ini tweaks to increase distances was killing me at 2560. Reducing to 4xmsaa made it good playable.

Good thing I mostly play Skyrim on my TV with a 360 wireless controller to the PC, should play well at 1080P.

 

[RavenSEAL]

Damn, I wish AMD drivers would give me a 44% FPS boost in Skyrim :/

Its does look great. I have it set to just "Performance" and with the HD Textures DLC it looks like a different game altogether. Its all running fairly smoothly too, even with my modest hardware.

 

[RobertR1]

BF3 is the only game I need more performance in and no help here. I'm not gonna take the chance.
