Nvidia Driver Notes...

[Name]

Just got the latest WHQL driver from Nvidia.

But I've noticed the notes are only ever for GTX680...

GeForce GTX 680:

Up to 41% faster in BioShock Infinite
Up to 60% faster in Tomb Raider
Up to 23% faster in Sniper Elite V2
Up to 13% faster in Sleeping Dogs


Annoys me as it makes me think is this driver only for GTX680s?

This clearly cant be the case but, are there any statistics on what the performance increases are for GTX670/660Ti etc.... ?

or will we never know. Just Curious.

They list the 680 primarily as it is the newer GPU. I know what you mean though and it would be good to see the % improvements for other GPU's

Dont forget thats a boost since the last released drivers. Not beta.

Its annoying they they word it as the 680 only is getting a boost.... my 670 in otger rig would like a boost plx

Ah right, thats a shame. Not sure if Nvidia being lazy there, or just wanting you all to buy a 680

I was already using a post 314.07 driver, it was BETA though. So in theory i should see little or no improvement.

But im with you Greg, a breakdown for other cards would be useful.

I install every driver beta or whql and if it doesn't seem as nice/smooth as the previous driver, I just roll back.

They do bring better performance for new releases, so it is always worth a look, regardless of what GPU is listed.

I only tend to update if I see drivers that directly effect the games I'm playing. Not broken, don't fix mentality. But after that I do the same as Greg, update and roll back if its not as smooth.
