Hi guys. Just wondering what the best drivers for BF3 are? I am running SLi 580s but with the latest 290.53 Beta drivers I am getting random crashes. Is this just me or is anyone else experienced this?

Cheers,
Ross
 
I only get random crashes while in the jet, which according to the battlelog forums is pretty common. Can happen straight away in around or it can happen once in a week ;)

Also using *.53
 
290.53 have been pretty solid for me as well, saying that though. The previous WHQL drivers were rock solid as well. Sadly the game itself has reverted back to being a bit buggy since the karkand dlc release. Prior to that, (after the last patch) it was nigh on perfect.
 
Going to grab the 290.53 Drivers and see how they perform (still using 285.67 drivers). Although had no issues with any drivers Ive used for BF3.
 
I think it's the game most of the time.

Some nights i crash 3/4 times GRRR. Other nights nothing!. No idea why.

Pretty much always try a clean install of the beta drivers

realtek onboard audio was causing my crashing i put a sound card in and disabled the realtek and no more crashing...
 
I was getting driver crashes with 290.53 in BF3 on my 580, so I switched back to the WHQL drivers and it's been fine since. The beta drivers from nvidia are usually fairly stable, but it appears not to be the case with these ones, at least not for me anyway...
