new driver by nvidia 266.35

Ok when i start Nvidia Inspector the first time the Combatability tab is there ...

If i close the app and restart again the Combatability tab is gone ???

 

Well Contrary to my other post saying these drivers were great for BC2.... They were fine yesterday for 3 hours...

But today I had weird flashing areas, black blocks, green walls.... you name it all sorts of wierd stuff.

This is with x 4AA only aswell.

I thought it could be my overclock (which has been okay for 3 weeks- doubt its that), so went back to defaults, and similar problems still....

 

you mean when you expand it or the whole string goes to default?


it sticks here only that expand thing is missing - its a program limitation, you need to press that magnifying glass every time you start the app.

 

I've found that when you start Nvidia Inspector without Admin right in Windows 7 it doesn't show the compatibility part. So make sure you're starting it with Admin rights.

 

Hi~
Comparing with 260.99, 266.35 does give me an overall smoother game-play.
Probably because I never raise AA above 4x, I have not experienced any crashing, BSOD, or freezing in any way.

Games I have tested with this driver include:
Assassin's Creed 2
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Devil May Cry 4
Ninja Blade
Mini Ninjas
Transformers: War for Cybertron
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2010
Tomb Raider and the Guardian of Light
Deathspank - Thong of Virtue
Shank

Forcing AA under Nvidia Control Panel does work out for Need for Speed: Hot Pusuit 2010, too!

In addition, I can again choose Fixed-Aspect Ratio scaling (I coudn't with 260.99) since 258.96.

 

You can get 99% usage with maxxed AA-AF are you using AA/AF?
Also what driver?

Yes I know about GPU usage and how it's effected by game (CPU or GPU bound), resolution, AA/AF...but in this case it's the game/drivers, as proven by differing results in XP, proving it's not being utilised fully for some reason. And if you're going to say 'low gpu, no problem "insert retarded smiley face because I didnt read a single thing about your XP comparison"' don't comment any more about this.

 

Thanks for the heads up, Always good to get some feedback :nerd:

 

cheap bogus driver

crash in bad company 2 and crysis warhead

 

It's a BETA !

If you cannot accept there will be bugs do not use beta software as simple as that !

 

These have stalker COP smooth as butter! Battlefield 2 seems a little twitchy but not much way better than what I was getting on my HD 5970. Overall I like them.

 

Have no problem in BC2.

 

put a higher AA and it'll crash

 

Performance is worse than 265.90q for me. I went back to that.

 

It new year now and i'm still waiting for WHQL 266.44 fw for my gtx480 .... If its gonna be like this 266.35 or 266.44 then SLI users are screwed.

 

Same as

 

These drivers gave me sacred 2 SLI,phsyx and AA issues, which was working for me on 266.44 and 265.90. With flashing white screens.

 

Does it happen when using 4xAA?

 

can anyone plz give a link to international version? English version crashes in re5 and dmc4 (black screen and sound goes on)

 

It's on the Nvidia website, just change the country bit to your own.

Im getting a second GTX460 for my system, how is the SLI performance with these compared to 265.90 and 266.35, or any other driver? Thx.
