**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[ashmanuk67]

Got sev2, tr, SD, hitman all benched at stock last night and have plenty of bf4 runs from last week stored too. So I'll be rolling out results as and when I get them

Do you think there could be any gains on BF4? Because this game was not mentioned.

 

[Boomstick777]

any bf4 improvements?

BF4 is mentioned here - http://videocardz.com/50183/nvidias-geforce-337-50-driver-launches-today-expect

Gamers who own COH Black Ops 2, Sleeping Dogs, Aliens vs Predator, Sniper Elite and even Thief and Battlefield 4 will surely like the new driver. We are looking at average 10-20% improvement in those games

 

[Geeman1979]

Nice.

Roll on this evening.

BF4 is mentioned here - snip

Gonna go ahead and assume that those "slides" are mocked up by that site, as they're to be found nowhere else on the internet - according to tineye and google, at least.

I'm sure all DX11 games will see a boost, but more interested in the inclusion of Skyrim in the release notes (+25%, was it?) as it's DX9.

Edit: Oh hey, they're out http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/337.50/337.50-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-beta.exe

If the slides accurate you can look forward to a 2% increase in bf4 (y)

Glad to see older games getting a boost too, happy times for nvidia gamers

 

[RetrogamerX]

Omg yes. Bring it

******* stupid work getting in the way of using these drivers

Think a 4 o'clock finish is now on the cards

 

[Gregster]

Done all my testing and my computer is ready to see these new drivers.

I have tested Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution, Batman Arkham Origins, Dirt Showdown, Grid 2, Thief and F1 2013 (basically anything with a bench test). It will be good to see if there is any improvements on the ones not listed and BF would be cool but I just cba to run it.

[LegendaryDread]

Well, this is new.

 

[humbug]

Well, this is new.

What does that do?

 

[LegendaryDread]

What does that do?

Rather than compiling shaders at runtime, saves them to disk to reduce CPU overhead.
