Good to see they are putting lots of hard work optimising for those all important benchmarks. These will help my Unigine and Stone Giant gaming sessions immensely.

Let me know when I can set a custom res with exact 23.976 timing please NV, as every guide I have tried still gives timing a fraction out.

Edit: Best I have managed so far: http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~layte/pics/23-976timing.JPG

Be interested to know if these are different from the betas as they gave me constant WSOD in BC2 and dont want to go through the hassle of reinstalling again if these are the same.

Same here, with aa set above x4 i was getting the wsod as well, cant try theese out till later tonight as i gotta go back to work.:(
 
What level of aa were you using shadow boxer, i had problems with 8xaa on the 266.35 betas, 4x was fine though.
 
Regarding the WSOD after 260.99 every set of drivers gave me WSOD, so just re-installed 260.99. Installed the latest WHQL 266.58 no WSOD, thank you NVidia > game on. AA > 16 / AF > 16 no probs setter.

I always use custom to use the clean intall option.

I've installed these and they've been fine with BC2 and NFS Shift so far :) things look a little sharper in BC2 too, could just be me though!

Regarding the WSOD that people are getting in BC2...I've had it with a few different sets of drivers past and present and it turned out to be the shader clock speed was a little high on my GTX 280 (it was stable during furmark etc) it may be worth trying a reduced clock speed and seeing what happens :) can't hurt to try.

I've tried 4x, 8x and 16x. All looking good with the GTX 470. No significant changes in 3DMark11 (P) or Heaven benchmarks tho. Didn't try the beta drivers so couldn't comment on those.

Guys I don't want to sound stupid but is there any point in downloading international versions as I normally do? Like is all that extra MB just adding additional languages -- ty.

Nope just get the English edition ones, change the download link to point to UK rather than US though.
 
Cheers guys, gonna give theese a try out now, strangely it was only with the 266.35 beta's that i had the wsod, and then only if using greater than 4xaa, gpu's are clocked at 751/1502/1700, previously i was on 260.99, same clocks and upto 32 x aa/16 x af in moh and bc2, both ran flawlessly.
 
Minor improvements in Unigine 2.1 for me.

The score for both default settings and 2560x1440 AF 16 AA 4 went up by 3-5% on their first run through.

default settings on a i7 @ 3.9 ghz and a GTX 570 @ 890 hz gets you 63 fps

2560x1440 AF 16 AA 4 on an i7 @ 3.9 ghz and a GTX 570 @ 890 hz gets you about 32 fps
 
never mind i found my prob i downloaded the wrong set first off got the laptop version lol all installed and working fine not tested in game yet though
 
Thanks:)

Everthing up on the charts (not much but up nevertheless) 3d 2011/Mafia II (still low GPU Usage on that game though - 50% each card if im lucky). Crysis warhead/Dirt2/f1 slightly up, as well as vantage.
 
What are the strong improvements?

I've only seen a slight improvement of 4% in Unigine

edit: Can't do a comparison for Metro 2033, but for anybody elses reference.

with i7 950 @ 3.9 ghz / 570 @ 890 hz and

Settings: 2560 x 1440; DirectX 11; High; AAA; AF 16X; PhysX: Enabled; Tesselation: Enabled; DOF: Disabled

Averaged 40 FPS on 3 benchs

The average FPS drops to 28 on Very High
