another nvidia epic fail. nvidia could at least rename it 320.19. adding support for a new gpu should required a new revision number.

glad you got found the culprit.

But why on my asus dc2oc 770 nvidia experience cant find newer drivers then the 320.08 that was included with the card or asus site?

Have you actually tried installing a freshly downloaded 320.18 version from NVidia's site?

My card installed without a problem, but I downloaded the drivers directly from the Nvidia site yesterday. I am liking the Geforce experience program-- seems clever. The Gigibite OC software is interesting as well- although I am running the stock overclock right now, as for 1080p gaming this card in just crushing things compared to my old ati 6870.

Nop since till now the nvidia experience was doing it for me. So I thought the 320.18 doesn't support 770. As my 460 dc2t was runing with them and on replacing it with the 770, the system didn't recognising it. So my first idea was to use asus provided drivers.

I will try it when I get home. I am waiting for the nexts month drivers. To get a huge improvment on the 7xx cards.


Guys on d3 @public games high paragon with barb and 1-2 wizards what are your fps.
One of my cards was giving 20fps with fps lag. Second one is at 50fps. 4 men party with Meteor, freez ,cyclone, ww and sweeping winds with a pack and trash.
Not on sli used the as single cards since they are gifts for friends of my.
The first is going back since she smell like burned wires even with the tower closed.

You are correct that the original 320.18 didn't support the 770. If you re-download it now, supposedly they put a new 320.18 out there that now supports 770. You should try it.

What the? They actually shipped the card with a version of the driver (on a CD...) that didn't support the card in the box? Have I understood this right?

No, the CD version works. The newer version drivers, named 320.18, were released on the website before the 770 was released. These didn't support the 770, but Nvidia re-released the driver with the same release number (bad idea) that did support the 770.

I'm going to guess they didn't want to wait for WHQL certification again, so they released under the same name.

I just do not understand why they didn't bump the rev to .19, I really do not see the logic of having two different builds with the same version. It makes things incredibly difficult to troubleshoot.
