Hehe, just saw that Tomb Raider was updating itself, and went to check the release notes, where these drivers were mentioned. Of course i came here immediatly to check if they are released and BAMm they`re released.

Thanks for posting the DL links OP.
GL & HF all.

Nice job Nvidia, just did a before/after benchmark run - before the new drivers with vsync on and all maxed without the tressfx I averaged 47.21fps, with these new ones 58.96fps (without vsync 62.89fps). Also no more weird blockyness on the skin or anything.

Very happy.

Now for a tressfx run to see if I can get the hair with the same performance I had before the new drivers .

Still flashing hair with TressFX and SLI in 3840x2400 (not in lower res)
I had to turn virtual memory on to make the game work because I had crashes to desktop in the 5s after I started a new game, which is curious.

What other in game graphic settings are you using?

We have an optimization that we are considering but we need to discuss this with developers as we dont know how this will affect the game as it moves to BETA and then final release.

[Benny_26]

Did you also updated the game to the latest version?

The drive and the game update are sort of combo

If I use 2880x1800 or lower the hair looks normal but in 4k it's flashing

Edit : I did a comparaison between 2880x1800 (left) and 3840x2400 (right), the exact settings linked above, only the resolution change, that's what I've got

Did these disable SLI for anybody else?

Edit: This was possibly the dumbest post ever - i forgot to enable SLI after driver install -.-
