LOL, can I have one prediction for the end of the world?!

Anyway I dont see the point of installing myself these unless they would bring me a good amount of performance over 313.96 which I am still using

Gonna try it out and edit the post after...

post reserved!

EDIT:

Same thing here as with 313.96

I'm helping you hope, but I highly doubt it
Every version I cross my fingers too, but so far no luck!

[aayman_farzand]

Did a bench in Valley, no change.

Edit: Btw when you manually add a program to the CPL, you see a Recently Used menu first, was that there before?

[PowerK]

No support for GTX TITAN in this driver ? I don't see TITAN listed in the supported cards list.

i think it was

[landerfha]

Very disappointing driver. Lost 2-4 fps in Crysis 3 depending on location.

EDIT*
After rebooting a second time performance is back up to what it was on 314.07. Odd.

[medo3000]

Its not a driver bug as I figured out and asked Jarnis from 3dMark here:

http://community.futuremark.com/foru...w-score-3DMark

Once you remove that update, SLI works just fine with any driver in 3D Mark.

Cheers.

The update from Windows Update is number KB2670838. uninstall it and it works just fine.

Link from NVIDIA site - http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-wi...ta-driver.html

Release notes PDF also mentions Tomb Raider in its highlights, whereas OP excerpt doesn't. SLI profile for it has been added, apparently.

Pretty weak in terms of performance improvements in this beta, but better than nothing!

[djcasey]

is SLI profile for new Tomb Raider available ??
