I have the same issue with flash, in FF13. But not in Chrome.
So if it's the drivers then why doesn't it happen in chrome ?

Besides I had weird issues with flash after updating to FF13, with the 301.42 driver. The problem is, I updated flash around the same time I updated FF so I really have no idea where the fault is. I have never had any crashes with flash before, but after updating FF and flash I have had flash crash a lot. I haven't had any flash crashes with this driver though, but my money is on either FireFox or the new 11.3.300.257 flash version.

Isn't the stutter in Diablo III an engine issue though caused by server latency and the streaming some of the assets from said server? I mean Diablo III is the only game I've played that has such noticeable and bad stuttering. Other games such as Assassin's Creed II stutter (such as when I'm turning the camera around) but not to the same extent of annoyance. Unless Blizzard fix the engine then I don't think any driver is going to fix the Diablo III stuttering completely, though it may reduce it a little if the v-sync stutter bug is compounding the issue.

there are a couple driver versions where the stutter is barely evident

and we talking about NO VSYNC u donga

No issues here. Also I'm playing on W8

It's not the engine!

Ok. It hasn't happened to me in chrome.
Flash was just updated and as I recall, I didn't have any issues with flash before the update, using 301.42 drivers.

Disable flash hardware accel and it should be fine.

Right click the video, settings click the first tab and uncheck "enable hardware accelearation"
That is how it got fixed for me.

Rapyer · 06-12-2012, 12:07 | posts: 144

yep disabling hardware accel fixed it for me too.

still shouldn't happen

this is one of the fastest driver for the gtx 680

My flash videos are corrupted too, but I also updated flash and other cards are having the same problem, so I believe it's a FLASH bug, not nvidia's fault. They shouldn't INTRODUCE new bugs within the same driver branch. Just fix them!

Progeny · 06-12-2012, 13:08 | posts: 41

Performence wise wich driver is better tho, this or the latest latop drivers?

You are very quick to make your conclusion...

First of all, you can't install any 295.xx drivers for the 680GTX, even with modified .inf, unless the drivers are released after the release of the 680 GTX, (around end of march)

So you completely misunderstand my post, as I clearly stated, this occurs in driver released AFTER the 300.xx series came out.

Those that were made before the release of the 680 GTX, cannot be checked if they have this issue, because windows doesn't load the driver even with modified .inf.

Still not 100% sure if this driver has the stutter issue, only tried Diablo 3.
And this game has issues of it's own.

Got the flash corruption also, goes away in fullscreen mode.

OK, got it now.

Anyone tested the current flash build with another set of drivers? Does it make any difference? I'd rather get an older build of flash than use an older video driver.

UPDATE> Just downgraded my flash player to 11.xxxx and now it's good again, with hardware acceleration. No worries, it's not nvidia's fault. This time, ATi cards are affected as well.

These drivers are keepers for me... been on them for 2 days and Final Fantasy XIV hasnt crashed.

Usually crashed once an hour (or more) with 300 series drivers.

Yes i tried Bf3 and they're much better then 301.42,

And I have the same bug with youtube videos - green and blue colors (3d paper glasses effect), it happens on all 360p, 480p, 720p.

It was ok with 301.42 and flash 11.3.300 (Waterfox), or now with 296.69

Fullscreen yt works, no bugs.

nexus_711 · 06-13-2012, 19:45 | posts: 130

Are these drivers contain all the latest game profiles?

sapo_joe · 06-15-2012, 00:51 | posts: 172 | Location: Brazil

These drivers are giving me crashes on Max Payne 3, ultimately leading to a BSOD, a thing I haven't had for like 10 years. Back to 269.69WHQL's, the BEST ones out there.
