Greg, you aren't running surround at all any more are you?
On the temps, we have noticed with these latest drivers the 780 Ti is able to go up to 87c now, versus 84c with previous drivers. The observed clock speed also seemed slightly higher than we've experienced before, 1019MHz sustained clock speed on the GTX 780 Ti's while gaming. In the past, we have seen about 1006MHz clock speeds on these cards. This new 337.50 driver may have changed the thermal profile slightly to allow slightly higher clock speeds.
I have noticed far lower CPU usage when I was doing the 1080P tests, so I am guessing this is why we are seeing gains. I am all out of testing for now and popped the new drivers back on but might have another play with single/SLI cards and different CPU speeds, just to see what the difference is.
I have to say though, I am mightily impressed with these and I will deffo test in 3D to see if there is some gains there as well, as that is quite demanding.
No bud, just the one 4K monitor and one 3D monitor.
You guys benched em?? I will have a go at the end of the week.
Just tested some stuff in DX9, I don't sense or feel any gains over 335.28, I wonder if Nvidia has taken a look at DX11 (especially due to things like Mantle) and picked up gains/reduced CPU load etc. I just don't know enough about DX11 Api and programming but don't see big gains in basic rendering methods just turning up... Just a thought and it would explain the bigger gains in SLI setups etc.
Pity. I want someone to inform me the day Nvidia sort out their stupid surround implementation...
I miss my 3D, and I miss Nvidia hardware and drivers, but I just love playing on 3 screens too much, and don't like active3D, so trying to hack it to work with passive screens was just becoming painful
Can't wait for affordable 24 inch 4K
I never had any probs in surround bud and I would miss it if I didn't have 4K. I have no regrets
I didn't have probs with surround itself exactly... my problem is I absolutely need the ability to swap between Eyefinity/Surround and extended desktop easily.
For some stupid reason I cannot fathom, they (nvidia) chose that when you disable surround, it actually disables the two surround monitors! Absolutely bonkers/stupid/mental/frustrating!
So it had to be AMD, where I have a nice little preset and easily swap from Eyefinity to extended... Had it not been for that, I would have stayed with them
But glad I sold my 780 Lightning before these drivers came out, or I would have been tempted to re-install it
I thought that was fixed with the 320 Drivers
Can't remember what drivers I last tried on.
Oh well, if iI know for certain it's fixed next time I upgrade, I may very well go back
Nvidia is better *my opinion*
Having only recently made the swap back, am rather annoyed to find out now they fixed it.
