GeForce 310.33 Beta Drivers Boost Performance By Up To 15%

[Jaydip]

Honestly I believe it is not worth posting @ VCG anymore.Every single thread is about NV vs AMD, awesome.

Mate, you don't have to get into the competitive discussions. There are 2 separate topics here. There's the folks that are talking about the improvement in performance and game bundle, and are pretty stoked about it, and the thread crappers in here trying to somehow save face for nVidia with the people who are fending them off. Some people just enjoy the banter. Now that there's a comparable nVidia thread, it will calm down.

Just concern yourself with the part of the discussion you enjoy and take the rest with a grain of salt.

It's just Silverforce trolling like the true troll he is. Hey go spit some more false info and then claim you don't have time to verify everything you say. Or better yet, overclock your PC higher and then complain about how much power consumption costs where you live. Enjoy!

Was it something I said that hurt you so much to cause this type of response?

It's 2% in a few games... is that NOT correct?

Up to 15% in a single lame old game while 2-5% or less in relevant ones. Bravo NV, bravo!

What I mean is 3D we lack some really in depth threads.All threads essentially boil into NV vs AMD.I would love to see some discussion on GCN architecture,GK110 architecture,parallel programming and so on.Here for parallel programming lovers

These kind of discussions can make a much healthier atmosphere here 🙂

if you look carefully it always seems like the same few users are into that but not the majority, so just ignore them....

about the driver, I'm not using a NV GPU to play games at the moment so... but it's good to see both companies extracting more from their hardware.

Yeah, even the smartphone section with their android vs iOS crazyness has a lot of in depth discusions there.

We have a second PC with a GTX560 Ti, it's gonna be used for borderlands 2 this weekend. Is there any reason for me to instal these new drivers and fix the physx issue or will i get no performance improvement on the 5 series card?

Regarding Chronicles of Riddick, I think it’s in there because of this: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2239077

If you notice, Riddick is only 5.6% faster on the GTX680 than it was on the GTX580.

Back then I sent those results to nVidia, and they did reply that there was still room for optimization in the driver. With the original Fermi I know nVidia tuned some older games to run better based on my results, games that nobody else benchmarks.

I’ll be interesting to see if any of the other games that didn’t show much performance gain (or even a loss) will be improved.

Start a petition for separate AMD/Nvidia sub-forums. I agree with you. Not a single conversation can be had in here without it quickly degenerating into a hate fest. Start a petition. I'll be the first to sign. :thumbsup:

AMD/Nvidia sub-forums will change nothing in regards to the people who are determined thread crap.

And only increases the chance of blocking oneself from stumbling on useful information regarding the competition and helps perpetuation of misinformation and misconceptions, i could see why some people would like that.

If you want an echo chamber that does pretty much nothing but affirm your opinions, forums might not exactly be what you're after. May I suggest AMD Zone or the Nvidia equivalent?

"Featuring GTX 600 Series performance improvements"

The developer said in the forum for the card that 500 series might offer improvements, its just they don't test it on those cards.

Nope, just you being you as best you can - nothing new here. Continue trolling on. While you're at it, see how many other threads you have A) nothing good to add, B) having nothing to do with, and C) still crap in. That is, if you can find the time between the fud you consistently spout. That "cayman +40-50% over hd5870 performance increase" you claimed when you first started posting here did an excellent job of getting others attuned to just how hard you can troll.

 

[SirPauly]

For me, the ambient occlusion goodies are welcomed, the fix for control panel AA for Diablo 3 is welcomed and really happy about adding lod automatically and the ability to manually lod adjust for SGSSAA as well considering gamers have different tastes and tolerances.

Performance is always welcomed but it's the gaming experience goodies that make me smile.

Very pleased by the amount of goodies so far this generation.

We need a vote to ban system. The admins won't take care of this problem so we should be able to ourselves.

Back to the topic, has anyone found anything about BL2 and this "massive performance" improvement beta?

It's called "Ignore User"

As soon as i saw this thread i knew Balla was gona get it here due to his crazy love for a company and specially after trying to come up with negative stuff to paint yesterday's release as bad for us consumers, and still have the nerve to come here to tell ppl how amazing Nvidia is for releasing these drivers. Finally i would like to remind that folks are derailling this thread too by not staying on topic. AMD has made an excellent job of releasing drivers that give us substantial increases in FPS for free, Nvidia ones are not as good but in the end everyone (AMD/Nvidia users) win.

I never did anything of the sort in the other thread, and in this thread I relayed problems with BL2's PhysX on this driver.

Just because you're delusional about what I say and what I stand for doesn't make it right. The fact is I never praised anything about these drivers, the only thing I've discussed is the issue I had with them. Nvidia has been releasing performance updates with each major driver release since Kepler came out, performance increasing drivers are not uncommon with Nvidia there is no real reason to trumpet what is commonplace.

Just so you know the user who suggested reinstalling the PhysX software from the msi file was right, it fixed my freezing problem with the driver.

How is me making a correct statement: "2% in a few..." trolling? Did you even read the notes from NV? Lets not allow your hard on for me to derail threads anymore in the future mkay?

So you have something good to add in this thread besides this rant? What do you think about the 2-5% perf increases being blown up to 15% just due to 1 old game thats so far off the radar? Marketting gimmick? I'm calling it as i see. To me, 2% is LOL worthy to even include in driver notes... Is that even beyond the margin of errors in benchmarks?

No not really. It would allow, with moderator intervention of course, Nvidia fans to have discussions without AMD fans descending on it like overloaded pidgeons, and exactly the opposite for AMD fans. Not this never ending HS. IMHO.

I believe the problem they have with your 2% statement, is that you elected all on your own to show worse possible scenario. Not saying you should have only shown the best, not at all. But you elected to show the worst. Sure, you were correct. But biased in it's context. So you were called on it. Because it was more than obvious. I hope this clears up why you were called out for it. Just sayin.

So you call me a troll because i noted the poor perf increase? Let's all praise NV for delivering gains within the +/- variation of benchmarks?

Make sure you all call yourselfs trolls in the AMD driver thread, where the gains are huge and tested by various review sites yet the bunch of NV fanboys in there thread crapping is obscene.

Skyrim - 6.9% increase
Riddick - 15.6% increase
Batman - 5.3% increase
F1 - 4.4% increase
StarCraft - 5.6% increase

Keep trying REALLY hard to deflect that you post misinformation ALL THE TIME, outright lie by claiming and/or strongly insinuating to have inside knowledge on unreleased products, and thread crapping in a thread you obviously have NOTHING at all to add to. Someone is bound to take your side eventually if you cry hard enough, right? Right?

It's just half the story, Keys. He's the ultimate subliminal troll. Since the moment he started posting on this forum with his insider claims of Cayman outperforming Cypress by 40-50%, to his perf/watt rants being so uber important to him because energy costs are high where he lives (then over volting & overclocking his entire rig, so MUCH FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT), and his constant quick pop ins to threads where he states completely false and/or misleading information, like HERE or his first post in this thread. And whenever he is called out, and proven legitimately wrong and/or lying, he NEVER owns up to it, he just ignores it and moves on to his next troll attempts like it never happened.

The gains are MASSIVE! 4.6%! Just outside your "margin of error"!

 

[Silverforce11]

Except all the big gains happened in great recent titles. There's a difference, you choose to ignore it. You also ignored the 660 notes. 😉

I like how you didn't quote my response to: http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=34132671&postcount=206

The vast majority of 680 on NEWEGG, in the best market for them with the lowest prices are above $460.. not your random <$450. As I've also stated, go outside the USA and the prices get even more crazier. Do you assume the USA is the only country on Earth?

ps. My Ov and OC my rig is giving me better perf/w than running at stock clock/volts, you may know this if you look at the vcore. Suddenly that makes me a troll. lol.

And none of that really has anything to do with you hopping from thread to thread spreading obvious misinformation, thread crapping, and proudly waiving a troll sign. You brought it up after being called out for the trolling and thread crapping, and you tried to deflect but the bridge is now crumbling from above you and you're grasping at straws to make an attempt to legitimatize your trolling efforts by ignoring 3/4 of what I or anyone else calls you out on and sticking to one worthless point that has virtually nothing to do with your original trolling attempts in the first place.

 

[Rvenger]

Looking at those gains Nvidia might need BigK afterall. I honestly think Kepler is tapped out, after all its just a vastly overclocked midrange card.

 

[Grooveriding]

Riddick, DA2 etc ?!?

lol, I think they released the wrong 'performance boost' driver package, this is the one from 2008. :hmm:

Worthless.
