Tried these drivers the other day quickly but they seem very quirky when it comes to overclocking.

GPU Tweak does not work at all.

Might be getting hold of a Titan Black, exchange for some other bits. It'll work out a great deal. Should find out tomorrow.

Got my eyes on a 4K monitor as well. Guessing Titan Black would have the edge over the 290X. So this 290X may end up on MM as well lol.

Swapped out parts more times this year than any other. Not so bad when your getting good deals.

??? You just built this rig? It's gone already? Titan black would be sweet though:) I'll be holding on to my new rig for awhile. I see no need to change things until late next year. Swapping out gpu here and there inbetween:D

Ha, no it's the same Z97 build lol. 4790K replacing 4770K was planned anyway I'm giving my 4770K to my boys for their PC, so not losing anything there. Might be swapping out the GPU's. Wouldn't have bothered, but it's a good deal on the TB, will find out tomorrow. Thinking blower style cooler will be better for this case to.

Changing the subject, fracking Suarez !! We are playing really well.. We need to win this !!

Reference cool on Nv are amazing. Wish I could go 2 Titan Blacks, but maybe Nv have a Titan 20nm or 16???

Nice one if it happens and looking forward to some benching results from ya. You certainly have tried a few components lately :D
 
Latest NVidia drivers don't scale well on Sky Diver.

A single GTX 690 runs it really well but two GTX 690s are bottlenecked really bad. AMD cards are considerably better at Sky Diver and less prone to bottlenecking.
 
Any one had any issues with latest Betas and Watch Dogs?

Just started playing it, and the first sequence with Maurice and the police, I have strobed lighting efect from light sources and the character model of Aiden is flicking and translucent....

Let alone, terrible hitching and stutter. :confused:

I used the Nvidia recommend settings for my system from this page.

Turns out the Beta drivers where the problem in Watch Dogs.

Having down graded back to WHQL it's better, but now I have texture flicker. For example I can see cars and stop signs in Aiden and other people clothes. Basically the textures around are flicking as if they dont know what they are, car or jacket...

Does someone know what the driver version was before NV started releasing these so called "DX11 Performance Drivers" please?

Since using the latest "performance" drivers I am getting this error in all games:

BXm12HF.jpg


Before I RMA my GPUs I want to fault find by:
-Installing last stable drivers
-Flashing back to stock firmware and running no overclock on my GPU

Bear in mind that I only re-installed Windows 8.1 a couple of days ago as I thought the o/s may have been corrupted. Is there anything else I should do? My CPU (i53570k is overclocked too, could that be causing the problem? Everything has been running fine for 2 years)

Oh and my cards are GTX670 SLI

Thanks

334.89 Majnu

That is a link for W7 64 bit and hope that fixes it. Have you tried a DDU uninstall? You probably have but thought it worth double checking.
Click to expand...

Thanks.

Yes I normally use DDU when uninstalling drivers and I always make sure I'm running the latest version. 340.43 was installed straight after I re-installed Windows (I did a reset not a refresh when re-installing)

Will give those drivers a try now.
 
Which games majnu? I've had that error once in PvZ Garden Warfare and I'm pretty sure I've seen others mention it regarding BF4. From what I can tell it's isolated to the Frostbite engine (which both games use). Also using 670 SLI myself.

Not had the error before in any other game though.

Yes, PvZ garden warfare, BF4 including the CTE and BF3.
I'll play Assetto Corsa and see if that crashes. It's just lately the crashes with the Frostbite games have been getting more frequent. :(

Edit -Disabled SLI and PvZ works fine now. No crashes, no driver hangs and no weird framerate stutter. I can max this game out with one card and that's fine but with BF I need to have SLI to get higher framerates. Does anyone else with an SLI setup have problems with Frostbite games? Crashes and Driver hangs like in the picture shown above? (Maybe this is the wrong thread to ask this)

Just wanted to update. I still had crashes and BSODs in desktop mode. After investigating the minidump file (which is a PITA) the fault was caused by UniXonar drivers. I've since uninstalled these and touch wood not had any game crashes in Frostbite games; BSODs coming out from hibernation/sleep or any other game.
