I said "mainly".. not exclusively. I think 'mainly' can be inferred by this:

 

[f1sherman]

Hitman Absolution 3 runs (GTX 460)

314.22 --- 320.00

35.1fps -- 39.2fps

+11.7% :awe:

Titan use the same geforce driver right? it's a shame as they really should have a quadro driver for it.

 

[f1sherman]

Ofc it does. Because Titan is GeForce, not pro card.
But you can install quadro driver on any GF no-problemo.

 

[Jaydip]

Yup but it probably won't gain anything extra in pro apps.Anyways have you see that the installation size is smaller? edit: looks like the file size is a typo

 

[f1sherman]

Unpacked size same as 314.22 WHQL ~ 220 MB

 

[Jaydip]

Yeah saw that when downloading, edited the post.It's probably a typo.

Thanks. I'll try them out when I get home.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip.

Cool, performance increases in three year old games.

 

[Cloudfire777]

Awesome. Gotta love Nvidia and their snappy driver support. Always something new from them

Can't tell if serious or sarcastic, but I for one think it's nice to see that they don't drop support for a game because it's "3 years old." I hardly ever play games at release and have a backlog big enough that some of the games I've yet to play, but eventually will, are coming up on 2 years old now. It would suck if they stopped offering performance improvements or driver bug fixes on such games.

Well good to know gamers playing old games are not overlooked. But that list looks like recent games to me.

In other recent drivers (3xx.xx), I've seen game fixes for 5 or 6 year old cards (G92), so nice to know they dont leave old card owners in the lurch as well.

 

[daveybrat]

The way i see it, free performance gains of any percentage are always A OK in my book!!

 

[Xarick]

This is my first set of Betas since switching to Nvidia. I have to give a HUGE thumbs up to these. Every game I play runs smooth. Tomb raider no longer has issues, BF3 runs fast and furious.
All my old games work without issue. Very nice.

I also just started forcing FXAA onto some older games and I really like the result.
Not sure if I was able to do that with my 5850, but I like it here.

I'm getting over 75,000 fps in GLQauke which is now playable. Before these new drivers I was only getting 63,000 fps and it was a frustrating experience with such low frame-rates.

Go troll elsewhere. I don't even know what response you expect with ridiculous nonsense like that.

Is it that they actively support the games, or that they just run a benchmark on certain games for every driver version and then make note of the deltas?

They do have the geforce forums...

Where I doubt I'll get an answer from nVidia. Also, I'm lazy. If I'm not lazy tonight I'll actually download the drivers
