**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

No real change in batman ao or tomb raider for me. Lower score in firestrike but an increase in hitman absolution scoring 68 up from 52 minimum, 108 up from 96 maximum and 85 up from 64 average. That's quite a jump I reckon.

Going to keep testing.

Greg for testing why not unclock cpu and see what you get.......would be very interesting to see what the uplift is.

Either way small boost isn't anything to scoff at :) I'm curious to see what the drivers actually do do :)

If others don't I will but I don't see the point of dropping my CPU clocks to test at 4K. I will have a 1080P play later but for me, it is pointless as I have no intention of playing at 1080P.

Wait till the guys with 1080P do the testing and on normal CPU's and you will start to see those improvements, as my CPU usage has shot down.

Guys with 2500K's or lower and decent GPU's will love these drivers ;)

On a 2600k here clocked at 4.6, and a pair of 780Ti's. What increases if any should I be seeing?
Just tested Skyrim which I thought had a few 'cpu limited' bits, zero difference.

EDIT - just ran the hitman bench at 1920x1080 at ultra settings. Minimum framerate up from 48 to 64!

I know the hitman bench behaves odd and doesn't seem to like nvidia or SLI, but I'm taking that as at least one pretty significant improvement!

What games will see the most benefit from this driver?

Are you thinking of going nVidia?

Nothing he said suggests he's going Nvidia. He clearly states he's interested in the results because if Nvidia can do it then most likely AMD could do something similar. I think amd would have to follow as only in Mantle games do they have the cpu usage advantage. Nvidia would have a big edge in most games if these drivers turn out to be what nvidia say they are.

You have 2 accounts Shanks?

It was a genuine question, as the improvements are across the DX11 range from looking around and not just 2 games.
 
Haven't had time to download or try these yet and wont get chance till later but I'm hoping for increased minimums. Those gains in Majnu's link are looking good but I suspect they are results using lower end cpu's, but what do I know :D

Took me by surprise, wasn't expecting till tonight.

It depends on his CPU. I bet a few will see those kind of improvements.

Ok tried BF3, (I uninstalled Battlederp 4 unfortunately so can't test)

Seeing massive gains on 32 player TDM all Ultra. I think I can use Vsync and it will lock at 120FPS. :eek:

Edit - tried 64 player server (Firestorrm) all Ultra and smooth as silk. (Note the server was full)
