Nvidia GeForce 311.70 ASUS

I've been using 311.54 for awhile now since 320's are unstable for me. They were newer than 314's. Ran everything perfect for me.
With any luck these may have an even closer date to the betas.

Also contains the newer physx, 9.13.0325

311.70 r310_00-449

 

tks alot

 

311.54's also run perfect for me so gonna try these now thanks a lot Cyberdyne

 

cheers for the info ,im giving them ago .

 

Very smooth driver for BF3,better then 306.97 or 310.90,thx!

 

Well so far so good

 

performance as good as and/or better than the 311.54's in Grid2 and MafiaII

it does seem to have a little problem with flash player on firefox which i seem to have fixed by setting "prefer max performance" for firefox in nvidia control panel otherwise seem like keepers for now

 

What native cards are supported?

Are there release notes?

Thank you.

 

just reporting back , and the drivers seem to be good so far , tested in bf3 grid 2 and metro LL and all good and smooth , no BSOD's or texture problems unlike the 320 branch that many people report errors Keeps so far for me , was on 314.22 before and could not use any of the 320 branch as there **** . go for these just add the mod file to display driver folder before install . PS 3d mark shows me a increase in points as well .

 

will this work in 780?

 

@Flakman; it's a laptop driver for win7/8 x64. No release notes as far as I can tell (they usually don't with these random versions leaked by companies). If you don't feel adventurous in trying it out, I don't think you should. Just wait for something new.

@Argineboy; I have no idea. The INF I made I think does not support 780, but you are more than welcome to try it yourself. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=377158

 

The date may be newer but the driver branch is older.

311.70
r310_00-449


320.18
r319_00-151

 

Not trying to sound like a $%$ but I think everyone here knows this mate.

 

You'd be surprised. There are a few here that are a few chicken nuggets shy of a 10 piece. :nerd:

 

It's not uncommon for nvidia to work of multiple branches at the same time. 319 gave a lot of people problems, myself included. It's also not unusual for an older branch to outperform a newer one, especially when its date is newer (though obviously we know that really depends on the machine in question).

If you are in the mood to try a new driver don't let the fact that it's an older branch stop you.

 

I don't know, these drivers seem ok for BF3 and all of that, but my main issue is still there:

Erratic GPU usage.

My average framerate is around ~110 FPS (Ultra setting, MSAA Off, Motion Blur Off, everything else maxed out), but sometimes the GPU usage will tank to ~70%/60% resulting in drops to ~60 FPS (I have a 144Hz monitor so the difference is VERYYYY noticeable, like night and day).

This issue is reproduce-able when looking straight at the long hallway in the back of the Alpha flag in the Operation 925 map, the GPU usage will instantly drop from 90ish to 70/60, it might not be an issue for most people, but on a 144Hz monitor the difference is insanely noticeable.

I feel like I'm having a deja vu all over again, BFBC2 was plagued with GPU usage issues for us NVIDIA users, and here we are ~5 years later, and the exact same thing with another Battlefield game, this is getting extremely tiresome.

 

@Cyberdyne okay thanks kinda noob in inf modding but i have an idea now where to put these i just copy these in 320.18 and will paste it in 320.14? are these correct? :nerd:

[NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.6.1]
%NVIDIA_DEV.1004% = Section066, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1004

[Strings]
NVIDIA_DEV.1004 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780"

currently i'm using weecka's 314.22 modded inf he posted here but not good in Metro LL so i want to try these in 320.14 for my 780

 

Yeah looks good, you will know if you did it right very quickly when you launch it. Either it lets you continue or it doesn't.

 

all fine but GPUZ OPENCL are unticked ... why?

 

@ Scouty,all good here,the Physx is on CPU.
