GeForce ForceWare 260.89 Beta Download & Discussion

Yes i notice that too, the CP is opening very fast.

 

+200 in vantage is meaningless.

 

how sad Steam is offline..... cant try my games with this driver yet.

 

ok logging on then off and then back in I can now get into the CP.

But the windows personalization color settings and aero does not work.

 

Finally these drivers fixing the sli scaling in bc2 on my second system!

 

Did you try reinstall them (clean) or something, i installed them on my 3 machines whit no problems , the nvidia control panel opens just after the click !

 

I know but its like my performance ''control'' , since I dont really look FPS in games. (Vysnc On)

 

The 260.89 drivers have seemed to have fixed my SLI scaling issue in BC2.

200 really isn't much, but an increase is an increase, and imagine if it increased by 200 with every new driver, after 6months it would be far from meaningless lol

Unfortunately that doesn't happen with every release

 

Gamma correction doesn't work these either, sight.

 

What I don't understand. Mostly 70% of the guys here still have problems, but the poll says: 25 better - 13 worse/same/not good? Anonymes poller are everwhere .

 

I guess only the people with problems are posting and those that are happy aren't posting?

 

Maybe I''m v.happy whit this drivers.

 

Seem far better for me thatn the 260.63-s

2 minor problems so far:
*NVCPL info seems to think that im using Vista SP2 for some reason when infact im using Win7 SP0.Anyone else getting this?
*No more custom view in NVCPL?.Feature removed?

 

In my opinion, only the 4xx card guys are happy with the 26x driver? nVidia is going the same way, as they did since decades. Only make new drivers better for new cards. The rest will buy our newer cards sooner, or later again.

I bet, there will be no better driver for us 9xxx and 26x cards any sooner.

 

I noticed that the GPU usage is now reaching 98~99% in F1 2010. correct ?

 

Well in BC2, i am seeing usage higher than ever before when in SLI, so i am very happy to see that.

 

It depends though, if performance is getting worse with newer drivers then fine, i could see a reason to complain, but if you can't really expect to keep getting performance increases for older GPU's, they have already had years of work, and theres only so far you can take it.

Just in the house, and looking forward to benching these against, 258.96/259.32/260.63.
