GeForce 290.36 Drivers Download & Discussion

didnt wanna read all 13 pages....can sum1 verify..is sli broke with these drivers? I don't see the sli tab under the nvidia control panel...only physx...

 

sli working fine here with my 560s

 

After fixing my Bios day before yesterday. these drivers working perfectly with out any problems. My card gigabyte GTX 560OC

 

no issues here either. did you do a clean install? if not, you might want to try that and maybe use driver sweeper along with it.

I too had issues with these drivers. BF3 became stuttery and felt like the FPS had dropped a little. Skyrim also seemed to feel slower. I never tried any other games and I played around with this driver for about 4 days. Went back to the last beta driver and everything is back to normal.

 

Would be nice to have some in-game issues with this driver like the rest of you here. I couldn't even get this set of drivers to stick after a cold boot. On top of that, every time I re-installed them only one card was detected. I had to re-install on top of the re-install just to get SLI to work. Then, when SLI finally decided to get it's lazy arse to work, it went on countless breaks after a warm boot. I threatened to fire it, but unmotivated effort always wins in the end. I seem to be missing a printer now as well...

Interestingly enough is that this set of drivers worked fine before I popped in 2 new drives (OCZ Agility 3 SSD's) and power supply (OCZ ZX 850W). I even re-checked all my internal connections thinking that something came loose from upgrading. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem? I've binged and googled the hell out of it to no avail.

 

This, under a clean install, is quite stable compared to 285.62 WHQL.
No more TDR under normal PC usage (like browsing with Firefox), and actually able to run GPU folding for 2 WUs without a TDR @950MHz with a 560 Ti.

Of course, going 980MHz or 960MHz would result in TDR when GPU folding, even with 1050 mV; 950MHz with 1000mV is stable.
I could hear the caps whining in agony at 980MHz. =b


[edit]
LOL scratch that.
May be stable with GPU folding but running The Last Remnant for awhile and it TDR-ed @950MHz; pssht.
It did not CTD, though.

Really wish they would fix those DPC issues, sucks having <30 DPC before driver install, then after it can spike to 800..

 

Getting CTDs with these drivers both on WinXP and Win7 in BF BC2.

 

Anyone else getting massive flickering when playing wow? With my gtx260 after i've been playing wow for about 30+ minutes the screen starts flickering like mad and textures vanish leaving behind just plain coloured walls, floors etc. sometimes they completely vanish just leaving the other characters on the screen. the only way to stop it is to exit wow then reloaded back up which is becoming annoying, this didn't happen with the previous drivers.

 

same

 

I read "sluttery" right there, my bad.

 

:giggle2:

 

Yea with these drivers BF3 is performing poorly. According to Afterburner both of my GTX 470's seem to be running at about half their capability, sometimes less sometimes more. making for some stuttering extremely inconsistently. Sometimes chugging down to unplayable for a second or two. It's a shame because when its not stuttering it seems to be running super silky smooth and a step above the previous drivers. Back to the previous set for me I suppose.

 

anyone having crashes in lost planet 2 in my gtx 260 i play only a bit and then colours like rgb on the lcd and i have tho shutdown the mashine on the psu switch otherwise he dont turn off i can play al the other games fine whats the mater with this one i can even play now bf3 only with the airtfacts that nvidia didnt fix but all other games feel nice and anybody geting very low gpu usage in nfs the run on the second mission

 

When I play Race 07 or GTR2 the road and grass vibrates when I push the throttle of the car. It's like gooseskin.

 

freaking terrible driver. Temps went up, performance went down.

back to the drawing board nv.

 

I have been and am still getting that window that pops up and says my card is underpowered..............really, 1000W...............Really?????

WTF.and thats on 2 diff 1000W poser supplies!!!

 

sound like a PCI-E voltage issue to me
