gts 250 black ops microstutter, frame drops, lag, tearing.
nvidia did not improve driver for old cards, nvidia developers are noob.
my next card s ati without microstutter.

For this driver yes it seems so , only OpenGL for now. And there is also 1 more option there about FXAA . Nvidia Predefined FXAA Usage
and for DCP latency, yes this is a bit worse than previous WHQL driver. But not that bad for me. Max 400s now .. Before 250-300s. LatencyMon tool shows its the nvidia driver causing high latency.
oh @Guzz already posted FXAA on "nvidia aa guide" thread. Just saw it :p my bad

Imo that predefined FXAA uses some kind nv based optimization tweaks - usually uglier quality to speed things up; while Toggle FXAA uses basic technique that isn't so "optimized".
As for latency;
DPC is fine by my 250gts but yea it doesn't have idle states..

Good luck with that. And then you'll be whinging even more about the stutter in ATI cards. I'd moved over to ATI and had a HD5970 and after having it for a year couldn't wait to get rid of it, mainly due to the drivers. There was enough micro and macro stutter to cause an earthquake.
These drivers have been the best yet and are bloody brilliant compared to ATI's incompetent rubbish.

My latency hovers around 75-84 with these drivers, with Google Chrome open and listening to a podcast with WMP and Tweetdeck in the background.

Chris, I don't think you've tried doing a Google search for "ATI microstutter" and seen all the results that come up.
Try setting to 4x AA and also try 8x AA (set in game menu, not Nvidia Control Panel) to see if that improves it any.
You can try running NVidia Inspector in the background while you test and it has an icon in the upper left which will show you a performance monitor and one of the things it shows is a GPU-usage graph so leave it running in the background then when you drop out of the game go look at the graph really quick and see if the chart for your GPU-usage is spikey or flatlined and you'll probably see that either 4x AA or 8x AA gives you the best GPU-usage during gameplay.
Also put multithreadeddevice setting at 0 and in NVidia Control Panel put Threaded Optimization on Auto or Off.

-These drives are beta
-AMD has worse stutter and drivers
-BlackOps is a horrid port
Have fun with that.

Meh, maybe nothing afterall.

Maybe a little late. But for Dual Core users, the pdf says in CPU limited cases So, if you have anything below a HD5850/GTX460 1Gb, it shouldnt do too much for you (unless it is a multiple GPU build). Since i do have a clearly CPU limited build (cuz im THAT special ) i'll test these drivers when i can

I have a question for all GTX590 users. When the cards came out i was a bit disappointed by the overall performance although i still love the card. As the drivers moved along did you guys/ladies see the improvements ?
My games feel smoother with this set of drivers. (Crysis 2, BFBC2, MOH, Brink )
