UPDATE , For those still seeing issues with BFBC2 after installing these drivers

Runs great after I deleted ~/Documents/BFBC2/
Very smooth gameplay, finally.

Runs great for me too after I deleted Documents/BFBC2/

Seems more and more are happy with these drivers , i am

Driver update, I reported a few month back about having low GPU usage on certain maps in crysis in certain areas, well I'm happy to report usage has gone from 50-60% to 75-90%, taking FPS up from 30 to 45+ FPS.

Seems like Nvidia has sorted basically all of the low GPU usage problems now Good on them

At Last!!!

Will be interesting to see what the differences are in next weeks drivers , probably just some driver fixes

These look good, apart from opencl, they are sound drivers?

Can't think of anything that uses opencl tbh.. CS5?

 

[RavenXXX2]

Great driver, I don't use opencl for anything myself so not fussed but I'm sure it will be fixed for the WHQL's. Desktop color settings are screwed up with this set though, adjusting gamma and contrast turns everything pink.

Any mileage in these for a lowly GTX280 user ?

 

[RichardH754]

BC2 runs better than HD5870 now!!! (32xaa) too!

At long last!!

oh that bad company 2 fix seems interesting but i'll wait until the official one comes out now, broken 3D is a no go for me. anyone wanna test out this half life 2 mod for me, i currently get truly shocking performance/gpu usage on my gtx 480, i'm talking 20% usage and 30fps on source engine could be the mods fault though i guess

Our software QA team has looked into the other flicker issue and determined it not to be an NVIDIA bug. The same flickering can be observed on ATI graphics cards although admittedly to a lesser degree for this particular game. Here is an example of the flicker observed on an ATI graphics card:

As such, our dev team has decided it is not an NVIDIA bug.

Have they considered there could possibly, maybe, perhaps it could be a problem with both camps?

Cheers, will give them a go once I get everything up and running again.

These were awful for me, reduced performance and made Mafia 2 stutter like hell.

 

[oweneades]

Hmmm interesting results here.

Mafia II improved by ~4fps on my GTX470, Just Cause 2 on the other hand dropped by 2fps...

Mixed bag overall but the Mafia II increase is nice.

I will thoroughly test at the weekend I think.

cant wait for the final release of these
