GeForce 305.68 WHQL - 660 Ti only, modded INF needed

[-Tj-]

This is a WHQL-certified driver for the new GeForce GTX 660 Ti GPU.

New in R304 Drivers:

Adds support for NVIDIA TXAA
NVIDIA TXAA is new film-style anti-aliasing technique designed specifically to reduce temporal aliasing (crawling and flickering in motion) through a combination of hardware AA, custom CG film style AA resolve, and a temporal filter.
The Secret World is the first game to support TXAA. Read about it on GeForce.com.
TXAA is supported on GeForce GTX 600-series Kepler-based GPUs.
Learn more about TXAA on GeForce.com.

I was about to upload mine, I'm using INT as well.

Anyway here you go;

Windows Vista/7/8 x64 international INF, with 305.67 dev driver gpu strings

Doesn't work for me. Just says install failed

Did you mod INF file or just run installer?


Well its 660Ti only driver.

[Outcasst]

I used your modified INF

[Darren Hodgson]

Can you use the INF from the v305.67 driver? Mind you, I'm not sure there's much point in me updating the drivers as I suspect these are just a certified-only-for-GTX-660-Ti version of the v305.67 drivers I'm currently using.

*EDIT*

I'm WRONG as this driver only has OpenGL 4.2 not 4.3 like the v305.67 drivers. Somewhat confusing really.

[-Tj-]

I wouldn't, well if you're using international driver you can use my INF - it supports all gpus, except 660Ti.



Anyway these are a little older compared to 305.67 dev driver.


305.68: r304_70-61

305.67: r304_83-25
305.53: r304_83-17

305.53: r304_83-17

Thanks. That's makes sense as the 305.53 and 305.67 drivers have OpenGL 4.3 whereas the 305.68 ones are still 4.2. Seems odd to number the driver version higher though, especially when the internal number is older. These should really be 305.52 or lower IMO.

Torchlight 2 sli profile!! Hmm .. maybe it's closer to release?

@ Darren
True they're still opengl 4.2, agree kinda funny

These have newer HD audio driver

305.67 are smoother in BF3, with stabler fps + Aero on.

With these 305.68 I must use aero basic to get same smoothness & less fps fluctuations.


I will go back to 305.67 for now

[(.)(.)]

Gotta blu screen while playing FC2 with .53's, anyone else have this issue and can someone please try fc2 with .68's,

thanks

[lukas_1987_dion]

Release notes from 305.68 drivers mentions 305.72...
''Changes and Fixed Issues in Version 305.72''

;-/

[Darren Hodgson]

Can someone please upload the full profiles from these drivers in text format using NVIDIA's SLI Profile Tool please as there's some new profiles I don't have that I'd like to add to the v305.67 drivers I'm using. I don't want to install these drivers just for the profiles as they have an older build of OpenGL and pre-date the v305.67 drivers anyway.

Thanks.

[Improv]

Makes me wonder if these have the GW2 fixes. Wish there was a stress test today lol.

*sigh* Games coming out next week and the drivers still aren't out. Here's hoping it comes out next week.

[sapo_joe]

I'm not playing with modded info's anymore, so these are a no-go for me.

And the 305.67's are brand new, probably the only difference between them is the WHQL certification, which means NOTHING...

[rewt]

I agree with ya there about WHQL.. Think maybe I'll stick with .67 for now, until those separate branches merge soon perhaps.

Nice drivers with excellent quality and seem smooth, but have not used extensively. I have no problems running 3DMark11 with the Nvidia pcie 3.0 hack enabled on my X79 motherboard, getting a score of 17959. Prior drivers required a bios change on the second card's pcie slot to GEN 2 to avoid the benchmark "freezing" (when using the 3.0 hack) -- end result was running one card at pcie 3.0 and the other at pcie 2.0. Even though there is little difference in the benchmark results, it's nice to know my Asus x79 motherboard can run sli with pcie 3.0 enable for both cards!

Thanks for the update!

EDIT: Still freezing in Skyrim with pcie hack enabled and both slots set to GEN 3, though gameplay lasted much longer compared to previous drivers. For now will keep these drivers and use bios change for stability.

Anyone using these on Win 8 RTM? The other 305 set gave me massive issues like constant driver crashes and even causing Windows to fail booting.

as far as i know GW2 still doesnt use the GPU - they will change it when it comes out... but im not sure...

[kenoh]

how did you get your system running in pcie 3.0? mine goes to a black screen and doesn't boot mines on slot 1 and I am using driver 304.79? I ran the hack as administrator.
