[Arcane]

Thanks for the heads up Neil.

BF3 is definitely smoother for me, but it still crashes to desktop now and then.

Trolling post or what, ban him.

I actually got banned for saying less than that before.

cheers for link, will give them a go,

are people uninstalling old drivers/running driver cleaner ect, before installing new ones, or just run the new ones and let them uninstall the old ones??

 

[Neil79]

Run the setup, choose CUSTOM install and pick the bits you want to install.

Click the clean install box at the bottom, no need for driver cleaner/sweeper anymore

Cannot seem to download that BETA driver. Just checked the NVIDIA site. Seems it has had a GUI change.

 

[Neil79]

Eh?, downloads fine for me

 

[Phatzy]

installing now hope it fixed the damn stuttering in BF3.

 

[setter]

Installing now, anyone noticed if theese do away with the green flickering in bf3?

 

[Neil79]

No, it's a game issue not driver

 

[gazjones105]

This fixes any stuttering that was only sorted by going back to 280.xx previously.

good stuff

 

[setter]

Ahh right, installed and gave bf3 a blast, does feel a bit smoother.

Constant 60 FPS in Skyrim with these drivers and SLI GTX 560 Ti - Ultra settings, 8x MSAA, 16x AF

Oh, and only 1 Gb Vram, no lag spikes or microstutter, but according to a certain somebody, 'Skyrim eats more than 1 Gb Vram at 1920x1200'

LOL.

i was having stuttering issues with bf3 these drivers have sorted that out defo feels smother..it did crash twice on me tho...

 

[The Running Man]

Does feel better for BF3 but ive had 1 hard freeze and 1 CTD, probably my cpu or ram though:/

 

[CaptainFail!]

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give these a test tonight and see if I notice any difference.

Edit:

Seem to be working well for me, noticed a couple more FPS in BF3 and the game overall feels a bit smoother. Noticed a decrease in temps too (could just be because the room is cooler though)

Have a quick question how come the Nvidia site only shows PhysX

Version:
9.10.0513
Release Date:
2010.08.11

http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/physx-9.10.0513-driver-uk.html


But in reality the latest version is

Version:
9.11.1107
Release Date:
2011.11.10

http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/physx-9.11.1107-driver-uk.html


If you click this link

http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk


and then click

NVIDIA PhysX System Software

at the bottom it takes you to the old

Version:
9.10.0513
Release Date:
2010.08.11

Also this version is way out of date, there has been many updates since, why are they doing that ? Also is there a better way on their site to find the latest one ? If there is a better way I can't seem to find it, only way it seems is by people posting the link on their forums or here.

Thanks

Missed this, cheers.

Just to update, I installed these drivers and the new Physx, they seem pretty good and media centre is working correctly again, no more black screens, so thumbs up to Nvidia for sorting things out so quickly .
