[newer dev] Geforce 280.36 OpenGL 4.2 Driver

does anyone experience this driver with back to the future pc games? previous driver 280.26 cause graphic error and crashes in this games (gpu went to 400 MHz safe mode core clock). Or is it just me??

anyway, im using an old gtx275...

 

Deus Ex

Are these any better in Deus Ex HR then the 280.26 drivers?

 

no is the same..

 

I don't know about 280.26 but the newer set works fine.
The only thing that annoys me with my tri SLI GTX480 is the low utilization which makes me wonder if it's an architecture issue rather than driver issue.

 

Are you using vsync. What resolution are you running the game?

 

No Vsync, I'm running 1920x1080, I was hoping I could get my hands on a 27" DELL U2711 for a much higher res. but alas it is no longer available in the Middle East.

 

I am also getting low utilization as well and I only use one card. I am running at 1080p. I'm surprised, the game only uses about 350-400MB of my GPU memory.

 

btw these 280.36 cause some strange cracks on characters.. so far i noticed it only by Star Tales benchmark, its like those singers are made out of porcelain and you can see all these cracks on legs and arms (by joints, esp. legs by background singers)- they look tinny but its very annoying, i think its ok with older drivers, well i never noticed it..

 

Hey!

Can anyone know are worth install this drivers I've been using since june 275.33 and such a old card like a GTX295 :grin: How´s the performance ? since today all my games running normally (Blackops,Shift2,F12010 and so on ) except Crysis 2 when I play this about 20-30 minutes and got blue screen every time where read something wrong with nvlddmkm.sys

 

i think there is no cpu on the market what is can handle 3 gtx480,so the cpu bottlenecking your gpu's.a 2600k at 5.5 ghz maybe can do the job.but its just my opinion.

 

Nah, Deus Ex HR is a port regardless of the claims.

500MB system ram usage and as low as 185MB of Vram, this is with everything maxed out on DX11.

 

OK let's go back to Bad Company 2 !

Strange blue squares on screen followed by a white then black then white screen then a total crash of the game!

Back to 275.50 :bang:

P.S. A friend of mine with 2 GTX560 just reported to me the same behavior but with drivers 280.26 uke2:

 

oh, new toys... but September is almost here... mmhmmmm

 

lol i had a red screen once in Rift (when i ctrl+alt+del to desktop it was fine, but then the game froze), this happened with one of 275.xx drivers, i think i had quadro not sure atm, but with 270.90 it stopped heh..

So far these 280.36 didnt cause such flashes yet.. But i saw they're a little slower in Dirt3 then 275.27 driver lost 7fps on avg, its like with 270 before Dirt3 optimization.

 

No problems whatsoever, nice set.

 

I can not recommend this driver for Deus Ex HR. Had several lockups with or without sli. Installed the 280.26 WHQL driver and all problems were gone. No overclocking used b.t.w.

 

go on ebay.. there are many sellers who are willing to ship internationally

 

Do these drivers heat up the card like the 280.26 did ? or is that bug gone now ?

 

For people that play Deus Ex HR and have white/black dots/pixels on clothing and faces of NPC's.Just use "FXAA High" instead of "MLAA" and the problem dissapears."FXAA High" looks better then MLAA anyway,less jaggy in some scenes.I think this problems happens with Nvidia users only,since MLAA is Ati's AntiAliasing and i guess therefore causes artifacts when Nvida useres have MLAA enabled.

 

That's the problem, shipping internationally would cost me an arm and a leg !!
