Supports Most cards!

These are leaked drivers as such use at your own risk, they might work very well for you or not at all. Most are reporting good frame rates across the board while a minority are not happy.

when will these be available for an official download, because i like the sound of that performance increase, but dont want to put any unofficial drivers on the PC (bit of a PC noob here)

Leaked drivers tend to be a build sent for testing/supporting certain features and can be fairly incomplete internally in ways that might not be immediatly apparent - generally not a great idea to use them.

The official drivers are due any day now, was due to come out monday but Nvidia are not reliable with sticking with release dates for drivers.

I'll be testing these shortly

True, any problems and i know how to clean house

Wasn't really addressed to you heh I know you have enough experience with drivers just a general note of caution to anyone thinking of using them.

 

[Neil79]

Poor drivers, worth a try anyway. My frame rates tanked across the board, DA2 is stuttery and not smooth!

Ah well

 

[Cosimo]

Ah well

Thanks for going where no driver has been before. I'll pass on this lot.

I saw a noticeable improvement in the Lost Planet 2 benchmark tests with this driver using DX11 and maxed settings including 16xCSAA and High DX11 Features. Seemed like tessellation has been optimised but I didn't test any other games to verify this for certain.

However, when I ran the Heaven v2.5 benchmark I saw lots of bizarre texture seaming and other visual artifacts so I've decided to revert back to the v267.26 betas for now.

Currently using the 267.17 Quadro's, they are nice but don't contain the DA2 fixes!
