Geforce 301.34 driver (GTX 690) - Page 2

I have the 2d clock bug in all 3xx drivers, but i saw that it isn't really 2d clocks, 2d clocks are 51mhz, but for me sometimes stucks at 66mhz, only happens with 3xx drivers (an its very rare 1 o 2 times a week)

For me it was stuck at 20MHz, with a default 2d clock set at 50MHz obviously. So yeah, kinda same old "2d bug", despite the clock value.

Anything new besides GTX690 and GTX670 support?

Custom resolutions scaling working again

For me it was at 33mhz and happened only in Crysis2 - ingame main menu.
I quit to reset OC, but now it wouldnt move and got stuck at 33mhz for all P-states.. This happened with 301.25, idk about 301.24.
btw, Its fine with default factory OC, other games were ok with custom OC.

And I saw someone mentioning MSI afterburner uses 27x multi? for internal clock; in my case it could be just that 27x33.333mhz= 900mhz OC. Maybe its something in new driver or msi afterburner that could bug whole clock dynamic?

Idk about this driver, didnt try it yet. Although I have it extracted and ready

Bahhhhh, support for Risen 2 my ass.

No extra performance and SLi still has this weird stutter. Guess ill continue running single card with this horrendously optimized game :S

actually nvidia only list GTX690 support for this driver.
I'm not sure why guru3d also list GTX670 as supported.

meaning I can now set downsampling with resolutions higher than 2560x1440 ?

Because it does

This from default 301.34 INF

Seems mostly good so far, at least better than 301.24. The one problem that I've run into is that Metro won't launch for me. It hangs at startup.

Anyone with a gtx 680 tried these ?

Works fine here with the v301.34. Try doing a clean install if you haven't already (I just installed mine over the top of the v301.25 drivers as I always do).

I tried them in mine and got the message that the installer stopped because it could not fine compatible graphics hardware. I have the EVGA GTX 680.

You need to use the correct INF, US driver with US INF file or INT driver with INT INF file.

edit: that link in 1st post is International driver (200mb).

Gonna try them and post impressions here, for the 5xx users...

-----------------------

So, it seems that everything is working nicely. I noticed a slight improvement on the image quality, and the 3d/2d clocks are changing as expected. I modded the .inf myself, using the file from 301.32.

Just played Metro 2033 for like an hour, and everything is cool enough for me to keep using these drivers.

y using 301.25 so far had no issues,hope this will be better

GrandMax · 05-04-2012, 00:29 | posts: 191

please explain how to use the inf file and the exe?

edit: Ok. I can extract by executing the exe. I can then replace the inf file but I still get card unsupported. GTX680 here. Any tips?

TechFreaK · 05-04-2012, 00:55 | posts: 155 | Location: TechLand

hmm these are from the newest R301_07 branch, top $hit

300.89: r300_68-13
301.24: r301_07-12
301.25: r301_07-14
301.32: r300_00-124
301.34: r300_07-38

1. extract nvidia installer (right-click and extract to)
2. open extraced folder and go to Display.driver folder
3. copy & overwrite downloaded INF.ini file in Display.driver folder
4. go back to main nvidia driver directory and run setup.exe
5. install

you can try my inf, but its international (x64)

Try editing the ini yourself. Just find the line
[NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.6.1]and add the line below
%NVIDIA_DEV.1180% = Section033, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1180 GTX680

Then scroll down and find
[Strings]
DiskID1 = "NVIDIA Windows Vista / Windows 7 (64 bit) Driver Library Installation Disk 1"
NVIDIA = "NVIDIA"
NVIDIA_A = "NVIDIA"
NVIDIA_B = "NVIDIA"
and add this NVIDIA_DEV.1180 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680"

It is much easier than you think. I have a text file with the above info and just paste it in. It took me longer to post this than it did to mod the inf and install the drivers. Just back up original ini just in case.

Ever since 285 drivers I've had an audio delay with h264 DXVA decoding so I'm stuck with 280 drivers.

Thanks guys. For some reason, only the US English version works. I couldn't mod the international.

Downscaling works up to 1620p on automatic. So I got a universal 2X OGSSAA.

Another beta drivers, no boost performance, no new features....only support for new cards....
