Nvidia GeForce Beta 275.27 - Performance Increases !!

[HangTime]

Don't forget to click " Custom ", then " Clean Install "

Also don't forget to uncheck 3D Vision, Nvidia Update, HD sound drivers and all that rubbish as well (unless of course you happen to use them).

anybody test shogun2 with these drivers ?

 

[CaptainFail!]

Well, since last night I've just had a very random BSOD. I forgot to look at the codes etc while it was displayed but it's my first one for months since using these just when I thought I'd found some good drivers for BC2.

Good point, I always forget to uncheck and uninstall all this drivers manually, does HD dound driver is for use with HDMI?

Installed drivers, noticed that MSI fan control didn't work couple times

Installed on my Rig @ work QX 6700 @ 2.93 and GTX 560ti oc Win7 x64

Definite few extra fps and rock solid

 

[Dem2k]

Thanks. like the new scaling options.

 

[AxeMan]

Good here too. No problems.

Went from 29fps average to 32fps average on benchmark at 1920x1200 res with 8xaa maxed and depth of field off.

I guess if you use 4xaa then the fps boost probably be 10 or so.

Great drivers so far.

 

[Sin_Chase]

Might just be me but Brink performance seems improved.

 

[sunlitsix]

Performance seems better all around for me with a GTX260, but flash video won't work correctly on some videos when in full screen? Could be down to flash though I suppose.

 

[Arcane]

Nice driver set, no issues with Witcher 2, 3D Vision seems ok, (40's constant).

 

[Xire]

Had to uninstall these drivers.Kept causing Brink to freeze everynow and then

 

[Rroff]

To be fair that could have been Brink as easily as the drivers :S

 

[oweneades]

I have tried these (well the notebook equivilant) on my M11x R1 and I am seeing a noticable boost in the most cpu limited scenarios (BFBC2 mainly).

Any boost is welcome for the M11x in that game so I am happy.

No increase in crysis 1

85fps with the old 270.61 drivers
85fps with these new 275.27 drivers


I going test a few other games..

My fps in metro2033 is lower with these drivers

69fps avg / 362fps max with the old 270.61 drivers
67fps avg / 258fps max with these new 275.27 drivers

Stock/same 3D settings? A clean install will nuke any changes you made.

 

[snaggster]

Anybody had any problems with nfs shift 2? Keeps locking up after about 15 mins play, since I installed this driver.

Portal 2's minimum FPS has gone up for me, /overjoyed/.

8xCSAA, 16xAF, 1920x1200

Min	 Max	 Avg
------------------------
Previous WHQL:
100	226	152.544
		
These BETAs:		
108	227	151.876

Were you joking? I don't know much about benchmarking and don't really care for it but I would have thought it was the Avg you would be most interested in. There might have only been one FPS at 108, and likewise the previous score of 100. If you rerun the same test multiple times and consistently get higher Min FPS then yes that would mean something because the average MinFPS across multiple runs would be consistently higher.

For serious benchmarking I would run the same test multiple times, before and after updating the software and compare (ie, work out the average min FPS across all 10 runs, before and after updating, likewise for the other stats
