Nvidia GeForce Beta 275.50

Wow what a f***ing waste of time these betas were. I had hoped they would fix the crysis 2 weapon/shadows flickering bug. It seems like they did nothing at all to advance functionality. What a steaming pile of $%@! and a waste of my time >_<

 

next time read the release notes before downloading. :wanker:

 

They are aware of the Crysis 2 issues I believe and I'm sure I saw somewhere that those fixes as well as others will be included in the next 276.xx (280.xx?) WHQL release next month.

 

The release notes mention that some Crysis weapon textures are missing when using DirectX 9.

Right now I think most of their driver team is working on the 280.xx branch of drivers.

GeForce 275.50 beta is [r275_37-16]
Quadro 275.36 WHQL is [r275_21-17]
GeForce 275.33 WHQL is [r275_21-12]
GeForce 275.27 beta is [r275_21-3]

 

I really hope that new whql 280 set or whatever everybody talks about,they say most of the gaming issues will be fixed including that windows 7 boot logo artefact, and witcher 2 performance, and crysis 2 bugs, i really hope, i don't want to wait another month, or a month and a half to see a changelog of the 280.xx and nothing special, or in mine problems, and others.

 

If they're so similar to 275.33 then why do the new 275.50 beta's lose me a 1000 points in Vantage when compared to the last WHQL?

 

Some of you are obsessed of benckmarks and points....

 

i hope so too, im gonna stick with official 270.90 tesla for now..

 

OMFG!!! These drivers made all my games run in DX9999999999!!!!! They look like real life now!!!

OMFG!!! BEST DRIVERS EVER!!!!!!

lol... nah they are pretty decent, nothing much changed for me from the 275.36 quadros.

 

I'll skip these considering they are really close to the WHQL set with limited changes.

 

LMFAO i swear to god that i lost 1 point in 3dmark11!

Check it: 275.33 http://3dmark.com/3dm11/1365062;jse...11/1365062?key=XqKx35ts3f7BkZQjKCawJ97aCtfemY

275.90 beta: http://3dmark.com/3dm11/1406231;jse...11/1406231?key=fafKftbrbMjwL3VEXJL6P26HCPw52u

lmao

 

So for me the colors looks really better with 275.50 beta.
A few less points in heaven, which is not so bad.

Heaven Benchmark 2.5 with DirectX 9
4x AA, 16x Anistropic, Ambient Occlusion disabled
Scores-MinFPS-AvgFPS-MaxFPS
2222 - 45.2 - 88.2 - 184.0 - driver 270.90 with 4x AA
2241 - 45.6 - 89.0 - 187.1 - driver 275.36 with 4x AA
2251 - 47.3 - 89.3 - 186.2 - driver 275.50 with 4x AA

I let the Heaven Benchmark cycle through one complete time before I began the actual test because I've noticed it makes a difference. MinFPS values are held a bit higher with these 275.50 drivers. I like drivers that give the best MinFPS values. Usually my benchmarks of the 275.xx family of drivers don't show this much of an increase in Scores and MinFPS when going to the next driver version.

NVidia typically does not mention all of the things that were really changed in the release notes. I'll try some games next.

 

Yeah they save it for the whql or the new family driver set with a pretty power-point slide

 

Try "High Performance" mode.

Lately I haven't seen a difference in image quality between HP and HQ modes ever since nvidia scrapped bilinear filtering. I'd be interested to hear if you can spot a difference.

 

Ye, seems it's more important to get 10 more points in a Benchmark then having games run smooth.

 

benchmarks are SRS BSNS

 

I've been getting some inconsistencies when trying to do comparison benchmarks in CoD Black Ops but the Heaven Benchmark has a lot of consistency factors programmed into it.

Here are a set of CoD Black Ops benchmarks:

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg

6494, 30000, 198, 247, 216.467 - driver 270.90 with 4x AA
6406, 30000, 193, 241, 213.533 - driver 275.36 with 4x AA
6535, 30000, 200, 244, 217.833 - driver 275.50 with 4x AA

I've never gotten a MinFPS value as high as 200 before in testing CoD Black Ops.

 

The flames look better with these drivers.


Also check out the reflections on these gloves!


And here is some random yellow text just to annoy you.
P.S. You need to read infinity's posts in other driver threads to fully understand my postings.

 

that looks like trolling to me



and Infinity, why dont you test Heaven 2.5 in dx11 and extreme tessellation (with aa off)?

In dx9 its rather useless imo..
