BFBC2 Performance issues and NVIDIA

Neil79 · 29 Jun 2011 at 22:17

As I mentioned bring the performance of BFBC2 from 270.61 drivers, cause 275.33 has 30-40% decrease, that's why I jumped on 270.1 after testing 275.33

The gameplay of BFBC2 with drivers 275.33 and 275.50 is terrible. The fps dropped significantly.

So true. Bad Company 2 has some weird performance issues for me, 270.61 did MUCH better. I hope nvidia fixes this because I play BFBC2 a lot, but need the new fixes in the newer drivers as well.

Nvidia

We have discovered the cause for the performance regression in Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

My crashes do coincide with an install of the new drivers from nvidia. So what us the fix, go to older drivers?

Just started playing BC2 today (Vietnam) and FPS is good. At 2560x1600 with 16xCQAA (HBAO off - drops to 25-35fps on some maps) I'm getting 85-120fps dependant on map and situation.

I don't know however what I could have got before 275.33, as I've only used 275 drivers with this set up.

I'm going to go back to the 270.61 especially as my core game is bfbc2

Ah, that might be why then. Bit odd given that everyone 'has' the Vietnam update, so presumably the core code is the same.

Vietnam was made by the guys who made medal of honor, bfbc2 was not

MOH imo was a brilliant game, but it's marmite lol

Using 270.61 here, been great. Getting 90-150 fps, depending on situation, (i got my cpu and gpu overclocks sorted out). 1920x1200, hbao off, v-sync off, highest settings DX11, 32x csaa, 16x af. Ive also got moh 2010, fps on it with the same settings are a bit higher again.

Yeh i'm going back to the 270.61's, seems like there are some issues that need to be resolved in these 275's!. 280's are due in July

Interesting as I didn't notice any problems on my GTX460 when doing some bench runs.

My HD6950 on the other hand..... let's just say I can't actually play the game....

I think I will have to switch back to my GTX460 and do some more testing....

Neil79 · 29 Jun 2011 at 23:24

^ TRM Basically the same as what i posted, but thanks

Random Guy · 29 Jun 2011 at 23:24

No issues at all with 275.33 here...

The Running Man · 29 Jun 2011 at 23:25

Mine has 35mb extra bloatware to slow your apache down, i was hoping you'd stick with the UK localisation.

Scon · 29 Jun 2011 at 23:30

Been running latest drivers with a 560, no issues what so ever. What's all the fuss about?

That's what i had today before it CTD!

I have had tons of glitches with 275 and my GTX 580, had crashes in DA2 and glitches in Crysis 2. Went back to 270 and all my problems are gone.

So what's the best way to downgrade the nvidia drivers?

Unistall through control panel or over the top with the older set up?

Greebo · 30 Jun 2011 at 07:19

Over the top and tick the box for a fresh install should do the trick
