How does it compare to your previous drivers using your 780?

Getting a little boost in performance everywhere, also these drivers work 100% with 1440P Korean screens, so essential update for me..

Bah, these drivers still don't work well with KFA² cards

Thats a strange one. What makes you say that? They dont install?

opethdisciple · 20 Aug 2013 at 22:38

I want to try these drivers, but surely a WHQL is close to release by now?

Sycho · 20 Aug 2013 at 23:03

326.80 working great so far...SLI scaling seems very good too on new titles.

Nope they install fine. The problem is that the KFA² cards (or at least, some of them) are non-reference, and for some reason these drivers don't kick the GPU and memory into gear. I get about 4 fps with Heaven with any of the 326.xx drivers, and there have been several more KFA² owners who complained about the 326.xx drivers on the guru3d forums. Windows 7 or 8 makes no difference either, it's the card and driver combo.

Create a thread on the Nvidia forums and see what response you get.

Oh yeah right, it was the nvidia forums, not the guru3d one ...

Drivers 326.80 working very well. No issues yet.

I have issue as well, using the KFA2 GTX 770. Really annoyed, it's crippling as I wish to see if the drivers improve performance on some of my games, as for some it is hit and miss.

I've posted on the Nvidia thread to add to the highlighted issue, but it remains to be seen if anything is resolved.

It means I have to stick with the 320.18 driver.... for how long? Who knows.

Same here for me. No issues.

But TBH i'm pretty lucky as all the latest drivers (BETA included) have been flawless on my old 670 and new 780.

I'm using 320.49, which seems to have fewer issues with the screens sometimes going black briefly (doesn't like e.g. a program going full screen). Performance wise they're close together though, if there's even a difference.

Using 326.80 here on my gtx 690 and all is fine and scores up in heaven valley

MoRT489 · 22 Aug 2013 at 19:35

I've been using 320.49 Beta for a while now without problem but might give these new ones a go at the weekend as all seem to be reporting they are good.

Using 326.80 on Titans and 770 - no issues as yet

Neil79 · 22 Aug 2013 at 21:22

Every driver from the 320.xx and 326.xx branches locks up my PC and hangs/crashes my games. (been playing Crysis 2, 3 and Warframe).

Like seriously, I tried Nvidia's last 6 drivers and the all are messy.

Back to the stable, problem free, 314.22
Windows 8 x64, 560 Ti 1 GB.

It's the drivers.
460/560Ti just aren't stable with anything after 314.22.

Full computer freeze while browsing the web with this driver too. Same thing happens with every driver since 314.22. That's the last driver that still works for me . every other new driver i get lock-ups.
N560GTX-

They seem to perform well in game, just outside of games they just seem to freeze up shame really
Nvidia GTX 560 Ti

who do i have to murder to get a driver that doesn't hate my 560Ti Q_Q
back to 314.22 >_<

Anyone else with a 4x/56x card using this driver with ANY issues or working fine?

Rroff · 22 Aug 2013 at 21:29

I'm using a GTX675m which is basically a 560 and so far no issues at all on the 326 drivers - 320.xx were a bit buggy but 326 have been rock solid and good performers, I've got a couple of older rigs setup with spare 470s for testing stuff that haven't had any issues either.

Anyone know what the dif is between 326.80 and 326.84?

326.84 is like the standard beta of 326.80 but with updated opengl, As far as I've found out any way.

From ManuelG - Nvidia rep

"This driver is a different branch from our Geforce driver. I advise users stick with driver 326.80 so that you can have all of the latest fixes which this driver does not."
