new driver by nvidia 266.35

Haven't had a lot of time with these but have played BFBC2 for a bit today. BFBC2 plays very smoothly now and the micro stutters when scoped in are gone.

Played, WoW for a bit also and IQ is exactly the same as the 260.99's, it's quite good. Also very smooth FPS in game.

Needs more testing, will post back after I test this more.

 

AA works for NFS:HP
4x MSAA
+
2x SSAA
only

Gained 5 fps in rainy scenes

 

these look even worse for me than my other settings used above... please post a screen shot and include the car+lamp posts

 

I made a little accident I choose override when I was on the first run testing I had it on override but I was toying with some desktop scaling and accidentally turned it on enhanced so those screenshots have no AA sorry XD

Override -> Changed some settings place AA override to AA enhance by accident -> took screenshots -> noticed It had switched back to enhanced will do screenshots again :<

Screenshots don't show the queer overrided AA

:banana:
Sorry guize AA is f'ed up it just another blur AA so unless the game gets DX10/11 no true AA

When you move fast in the game the AA makes an aura around your car



Hint: look at the backseat arches

 

Looks like I will stick with the 266.44s for now. I'm not having any issues with them. BC2 GPU usage is up to 75-90% at all times now in SLI even with my lowly Q9650. BO GPU usage never goes above 50% for me, mostly because of my lowly Q9650/poor console port combo but I still never get below 90FPS. I just got NFS:HP 2010 and I need to install it and see how it plays.

It just cracks me up that the first answer from most on low GPU usage is get an i5 or i7 CPU. So, how is it again that I'm getting that great GPU usage with a fix from NVidia for BC2 and just because I don't for other games, it means I need a new CPU? Doesn't that tell you we have poor optimizations for that particular game and poor coding for the game? Also, if I play the single player of BO, then I suddenly have great GPU usage. Strange, isn't it? I mean, we're talking about a Q9650 at over 4GHZ here, not a Q6600 or a C2D. I know it's still inferior, but it can't be that bad.

 

what does ur lamp post look like anything like this

How the hell is your GPU so damn cool, 36c on a gtx 580?
my gts 250 and gts 450 stays around 67c at idle.

 

1st 3D for ME with NV 570 and these drivers work perfect. As for some of the rest "drivers crap, beta = omg SCARY!, low gpu" lol..

 

hope you realize a lot of times the WHQL's are the beta's but are just official... no point in them being signed. hell ive had more issues with signed ones, for example the fan not working...

 

try without forced TrAA multisampling and 8xSSaa.. maybe there are conflicts with TrAA and normal AA.


first try 4xmsaa then 8xmsaa - but yea without any TrAA.

 

Same for Resident Evil 5, AA work fine up to 4X but crashes above this...

Just has expected, fixes bugs but introduces others

 

67 wdf what your room is 35c in winter put the fan to 80 100%
i change the temogreze to mx-3 articooling i got 52-56 in full game load
52 like cod mafia and 56 crysis
idle is 35-37c room temp 20c :banana:

!! somebody confirm performance improve with ie9 and flash 10.2 beta1 (november)???c1:

 

I let you be the judge
(You know finding that exact location was pretty DARN HARD lol)
:biggun: I got you in the scopes







I think the AA broke...Heat haze really f'ed ups this fake AA
just look at that scene longer for 30 mins you'll see that heat haze XD
:banana:

 

Mines idle at 30C both. You need better cooling case!

 

Just got my second gtx 470 today these won't give me an option to enable sli.

 

hi i take it you not seen my setup lol i have really good watercooling, its all about loop layout and watercooling parts you use for flow rate ect.. take alook check out post4


ps that 36'c is a load temp

ok will do mate thank you

yes urs is the same AA broke i guess

 

AA doesn't work I went thru 2x->32x
With the deferred shaders off it is still looks like this


The left image

 

Wish I could force AA for Mafia II, or have I missed something?

 

MafiaII has its own AA - you can try and enhance it in nvcpl Mafia II profile, or disable enhancement in nv inspector and override it...

 

Holy snap batman pancakes jelly cakes.
Thats epic. No wonder its cool , thats a very nice.
I am a simple man, so i am just going to add more fans.
