Downside of being on the cutting edge of technology...

Dig out from the storm yet? :biggrin:

 

[lavaheadache]

yup, dug out. This winter blows! I'm sure you guys are hating it too. btw, go get yourself a nice c5 z06...

 

[Bubbleawsome]

Heads up, no compute increase.

 

[FalseChristian]

The drivers load fine but I have to install GE manually for some reason. Still only getting 587 fps in Quake w/ Darkplaces mod!

 

[Carfax83]

Just installed these, great drivers!

 

[Borealis7]

those are impressive numbers, i wonder if anyone's going to do a driver comparison article.
i'm not sure i'll update though, my games run fine now and i wouldn't want to screw that up.

If you've been using the beta drivers you probably already had the performance boosts.

Those gains are compared to an older WHQL driver so are likely only applicable if you upgrade from the old WHQL driver.

A comparison would be interesting anyway since the numbers can probably be taken with a little grain of salt.

I'm surprised BF4 is missing, I thought there has been some gains there too.

 

[Nintendesert]

No improvement on BF4 crashing, though I don't think it's Nvidia's problem and just more crappy coding from Dice.

 

[96Firebird]

Got some seat time with these drivers, seem the same for me in BF4. Which means no issues, steady gameplay, etc... Sucks for all those having problems with the game though.

yup, dug out. This winter blows! I'm sure you guys are hating it too. btw, go get yourself a nice c5 z06...

In a thaw now, should last a couple of days.

Not getting the Z06. Trying to be a responsible 25 year old...

You if your card is overclocked bring it back to stock settings. Should minimise or stop the crashes. And yes even factory OC might cause it too.

 

[jkauff]

No fix for OpenCL problems.

 

[Shmee]

any gains for a GTX 560M?

 

[hawtdawg]

OpenCL is still messed up.

 

[RaulF]

Random frame drops BF4 sli!

 

[Jovec]

Apparently this driver re-introduced a resume-from-monitor-sleep bug on my second monitor. This bug was fixed in the previous version, but was present in the one before that.

have you manually updated your punkbuster? I've had the dumbest issues with that game due to punkbuster version problems. When I get it directly from them though I'm fine.

Bleh, I change my mind. These drivers [aren't working correctly for me]. They have issues and can prevent games from going into full screen mode from my experience..

The 334.95 Quadro drivers are far superior imo, and I highly recommend them over the 334.89 Geforce..

I think I'll use the Quadro drivers only from now on, as I've noticed they have higher QA with less bugs..

Download link for 334.95 drivers, and download link for modded INF...

At this point I've just given up on the game, it's on Dice's number 1 bug to fix but hasn't been fixed yet. So a known issue with the game.

I appreciate everyone trying to help though. :wub:
