**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

PC1 Powerful CPU highly clocked = little/no gain

PC2 Weaker CPU stock clocked = bigger gains.

What is hard to grasp?

Same as mantle but not same as mantle was supposed to be according to a few when it was announced.

Only really help noticeably in CPU bottlenecked systems and then only some games will be effected by CPU.

And at end of the day its only the 1st Beta driver, more will come.

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.

Why would you think I have two accounts? lol

They is a link posted in Nvidia driver showing gains with high end CPU and GPU so I dont understand why you guys no seeing it?

I am just at PC for 1st time today, so trying to catch up on 2 threads blind (not wearing contacts).

I may be able to play a couple of games I held of like Crysis 3 and Metro LL (cause my CPU is stock as a POS batch).

Reviews show up to 17% gain in Crysis with 4770k overclocked (cannot remember what speed).

I was waiting on refresh CPU's as I cannot be bothered to buy 10's of CPU to get good one now as too old and tired of that hassle.
 
Hmm WTF installed lol.

I got no choice, it went to fast, seen G-Force Experience 2.0 but no choice to skip 3D installer aspects etc.

I do not see any of it so must have copied my old setting.

I will do a full clean install another day when I can be bothered.

EDIT : Installer closed due to an "Audio Error" (I was listening to music at time though on a soundcard).

Go it installed now.

They've been out a few hours and the people that have tested them so far have insanely powerful systems that will hit a natural bottleneck anyway in performance. Wait until people with slower systems try them in the games mentioned and then criticise the performance of them.

I still can't believe that people have such retarded brand loyalty that they feel the need to be hyper critical whenever the other "camp" does something lol. Graphics cards are a simple choice, not a sodding lifestyle.

Not being of that mindset, I too cannot ever understand this "brand loyalty".

It...it's a graphics card! Not a religion!!
 
It is a Nvidia thread no?

I assume SS is about CPU?

**** me sideways these drivers have in many cases doubled my framerate in BF4 and massive improvement generally 77->115 in one place I test. (EDIT: Actually it would be better than that - 77 was with 1267MHz on the core and I've not put the OC back on so 115 is with 1188).

EDIT2: Not as big an improvement in all areas though - the spot on hainan infront of the hotel is only a few percent higher but running around on shanghai I'm seeing 50-100% increased framerates.

I'm surprised as i wouldn't have thought your CPU would bottleneck your GPU, i thought these performance gains were coming from removing CPU bottlenecks? or am i wrong :)

Some screenshots would be nice in this case so we can see where you are testing, then perhaps others can replicate it.
 
Its more the API bottleneck than really a CPU bottleneck - people just tend to refer to it as CPU bottleneck as its not part of the GPU operation.

EDIT: Seeing the biggest gains with my normal settings which are a mixture of levels to give a combination of highest framerate and clearest view (which probably puts more demand on CPU performance), with full ultra settings the gains aren't quite as much.

Think I got a little excited there as I jumped in with my normal settings (mix of low to ultra) and saw a HUGE boost (was almost entirely holding 125fps capped in shanghai whereas it would drop to around 67fps in some parts before) - but running around again with full ultra settings its mostly in the region of 20% increases.
