If this is a magic dx11 switch then it should speed up AMD cards as well.
Not using Nvidia's drivers it wont

Yea. From what I gather, this isnt DX11 optimisations, but rather Nvidia driver optimisations.
Really, if this is all true, would be magical, but really needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Also makes you think, why now and not ages ago?
Fixed that for you![]()
Maybe Microsoft have allowed nVidia the D3D libraries and they can see ways to bring more gains to their hardware? Just a possibility.
Or maybe Nvidia were happy with their price/performance and profits and just couldn't be bothered. After all who would have bought a 780ti if a 780 with these uber drivers did the job![]()
i'm just glad the green boys are finally getting the performance they paid for
I'm disappointed in you gregster arnt you supposed to tweet/instagram Nvidia and get a date for usYou need to work on your tweeting skills
Oh free samples of products would be good too if you can wangle some ty
Wont look good if we have to get LTmatt to tweet Nvidia for dates![]()
I have asked but I am not very good at that brown nosing.... Maybe better if Matt asks![]()
Nvidia havent said the NEXT driver will be these magic ones, have they?![]()

Damn i was loking for the LTmatt sign to flash seems i'm too late and hes already refused![]()
Do your own dirty work Gregorio. Brian Burke is much more likely to respond to you.![]()

People saying that this sort of improvement cannot be done so take these claims with a pinch of salt, but isn't this exactly the same sort of thing that AMD did back with the 7970, suddenly producing a driver that improved things across the board?
So this sort of improvement can be done as AMD did it last year.(it may have been the year before I cannot remember)
Not really the same though. GCN was a brand new architecture for AMD and it took them a while to get up to speed. Kepler is out for 2 years now, it's kinda hard to believe that there is much more optimisations that can be done to get massive performance increases.
Normally at this stage we are talking about small improvements and usually on a per game basis.
Will be interesting to see if they do bring the massive performance gains that they are talking about.
