Are you installing over the top and ticking the box for a clean install? This is the correct method.

Yes because you speak for the masses. I know people who have the same issues as I do.

I always do clean installs. I've never been able to install a new driver since the 300 series.

This doesn't seem to work really well with Diablo 3, i got stuttering issues with this driver. 302.59 and 301.24 work the best atm.

I rarely do clean installs and have never had any problem installing an NVIDIA driver since I returned to them after a brief (unpleasant) spell with HD 5870 CFX. There's obviously an installer conflict with something on your PC and that's why you and a minority of other people have problems. Short of a clean Windows install I'm not sure what you can do really.

Have you tried installing the drivers manually from the Device Manager?

Define your version of a clean install please.

If your clean installs involve driver sweeper then it's no surprise.

Usually more trouble than it is worth.

OMG FINALLY A 300 WHQL driver.
Thanks. Going to download now and give feed back later.

Does this driver still have the 3D clocks bug like the 301.24 beta did?

The US one is very slow to update.. I'm assuming once they do, the release notes will be properly available.

nice, thanks

i just installed the drivers and will test it.

i play Bully (never finished the game), lets see if the driver really fixes anything.

will report.

or not???

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

From my understanding all DX11 cards should support DX11.1 this time around. We will see.

I have the same card as yourself and the same problem with all drivers in the 300 series ,I'm now having to roll back to 296.10 .

It must be the drivers and not your card as 296.10 works great for me .
If u RMA your card please let me no the out come . Thanks

Hmm .. now that's not a good thing, it happens on all games or just one or two? I'll try a few on my system later.

Same problem here. Do they actually test the drivers these days!? lol

kakarot · 05-22-2012, 18:20 | posts: 663 | Location: USA

That is just a driver bug with factory oc'd cards. It hurts that it hasn't been fixed yet but do not rma your cards over it. The replacements will behave the same, they will be refurbished and probably not babied like your own. Just use AB or something and specify the clocks manually.

Nope, at least I haven't noticed that. I run a zotac amp and a stock evga and the zotac will not go over 51Mhz in 3d. I just match both at 815 via AB and they power up and down with no issues. If yours is the same problem then it will work

Cool thanks, I'll give it a whirl with AB then.
