Excellent it looks like they fixed the issue I was having with 304.48! I'll have to give these a try tonight.

- Fixed an issue that led to a black screen after driver installation.

I see they fixed the Hardware Cursor Bug in WoW. Gonna give these a go then.

These drivers seem pretty much the same as the 304.48 ones for me but then I never had the shutdown, invisible mouse cursor and Deux Ex: HR 1 FPS loading bugs.

Did notice that among the new profiles added, the one for Alan Wake's American Nightmare seems to contain an error in the executable: "Alan_Wake_American_Nightmare.exe" instead of "Alan_Wakes_American_Nightmare.exe" (unless that was one I added to a previous driver?).

EDIT: Seems they are still broken with this release.

DX:HR is a weird one because it worked fine for me with the 304.48 (DX11, maxed out settings) and even the Civ V: Gods & Kings demo worked fine under DX11 (unless the demo contained fixes the release code didn't?).

What frames to render ahead did you use? Auto, 1, 2?

I installed now in Windows 8, and are WDDM 1.2

This drivers have the same problem has 304.48 Beta. They don't work when editing videos on Powerdirector 10. GPU usage is at 0%.

Back to 301.42 WHQL.

I've never changed it (never had stuttering since the second or third patch) so presumably it was on Auto.

Says in the notes the Civ issue only effected 400 & 500 series :/

installing now anyway, hope it works

I just tried them in BF3 with my 570 SLI and they seem better than the 304.48 with average FPS around 100+. My second 680 croaked and is being shipped for RMA to EVGA. I had no flicker this time but with BF3 it's hard to tell if it it is the driver or Origin's servers.

Working great! I did install the newer version of Physx instead of the one bundled in this package.

Zuhl3156 · 07-03-2012, 19:23 | posts: 24 | Location: Bensalem, Pennsylvania U.S.A

My package showed 9.12.0604, is there a newer version?

SplashDown · 07-03-2012, 19:37 | posts: 60 | Location: Michigan

Really nice drivers for me, shutdown problem and mouse are gone. Plays well, smooth on videos, no flickering, I'm actually impressed after some of the other ones, Keep's for me. Thanks very much for the update on drivers guys always appreciate.
