Nvidia WHQL 301.10 is now live.

nope. tearing occurs even at a locked constant fps of the refresh rate.

 

same here

 

Hello Guru3d members , my Asus570 is in RMA process and im having problems with modifying those drivers for Geforce 440 can some one help me please?

Thank You

Kindly Regards

Wonter

 

Tearing can occur when the framerate is lower than the refresh rate too! Haven't you ever played a capped 30 fps console game such as Gears of War on a 60 Hz HDTV? (Incidentally that game was the first to use 'soft' or adaptive v-sync back in 2006)

If a game is capped at a constant 60 fps on a 60 Hz display then it will never tear (even if v-sync is disabled) because the screen will refresh exactly once for every frame sent to it (60 Hz/60 fps = 1). However, if it dips below 60 fps then it may result in visible tearing where the framerate is not a factor of 60 (i.e. not 10, 15, 20 or 30 fps). I've seen this happen in RAGE while driving around using its Smart V-sync option (the equivalent of this Adaptive V-sync): when the framerate was 60 fps, which was most of the time, then the game never tore at all. But when it dipped below 60 fps there was the odd tear.

 

Damn, wish i was on my own system so i could i could try these.

Sounds like a good solution to me, as surely if you use it and get tearing then the card is struggling to maintain the framerate anyway.

Might give it a shot at 50hz, it's only racing games that i notice the 10fps drop anyway, and should be alot easier for my card to maintain.

 

The driver was only meant for the 680, next driver out will probably be for all cards.

awaiting mobility mod ):

 

same ! looking all over the net .. no mobility mod yet !
for my Quadro 3000m and quadro 4000m card.

 

I'm loving this Adaptive Vsync. Goodwork Nvidia.

 

I hate to be a bother but I was looking at how to add a custom INF to try these drivers and it seems a bit confusing to me.

I have an ASUS GeForce GTX 560 ti and was able to grab this from the hardware ID tab:

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1200&SUBSYS_83901043

Could someone explain where I go from here?

 

edit : it's installing and everything but failed during remove and install new driver ! lolz .. guess i messed up.. oh well gonna try again.

I followed this guide and done it myself ! pretty easy

copy and paste those lines (related to the id of your card, can be stored in different INF mine is from nvdm.inf) from your 296.10 to 301.10

[NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.6.0]
%NVIDIA_DEV.1180% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1180
%NVIDIA_DEV.0E3A% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1180
%NVIDIA_DEV.0E3A.04A4.1028% = Section018, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0E3A&SUBSYS_04A41028
%NVIDIA_DEV.0E3A.14A4.1028% = Section068, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0E3A&SUBSYS_14A41028

[NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.6.1]
%NVIDIA_DEV.1180% = Section033, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1180
%NVIDIA_DEV.0E3A.04A4.1028% = Section018, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0E3A&SUBSYS_04A41028
%NVIDIA_DEV.0E3A.14A4.1028% = Section068, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0E3A&SUBSYS_14A41028

and don't forget the strings below the line of gtx 680

NVIDIA_DEV.1180 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680"
NVIDIA_DEV.0E3A.04A4.1028 = "NVIDIA Quadro 3000M"
NVIDIA_DEV.0E3A.14A4.1028 = "NVIDIA Quadro 3000M "

 

296.10 Drivers don't even seem to find anything remotely related to my Hardware ID string from Device Manager (strange!); hrm!

From looking at nvidia inspector, I've also found:

Device ID: 10DE - 1200

Subvendor: ASUS (1043)



I was able to get it to work, woot! Here was the information from my card that I used:


[NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.6.0]
%NVIDIA_DEV.1200% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1200&SUBSYS_83901043

[NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.6.1]
%NVIDIA_DEV.1200% = Section015, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1200&SUBSYS_83901043

[Strings]
NVIDIA_DEV.1200 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti"

 

No, I don't play with consoles.
Neither is it tearing, since tearing is a side effect of multiple frames in the same draw.
Can only do that by throwing more frames at the display than it's refresh rate can handle.

 

Always those driver games with new cards out. They had 570/580 only drivers initially as well. Meh, the 301.10 run without issues on my 460 SLI pair. FSAA and adaptive Vsync seem to work alright. Just one oddity occurred during installation: Windows reported non-WHQL.

 

Happens when you modify the inf

 

I'll be using this without modifying them as I bought an EVGA GTX680, can't wait for it to arrive tomorrow!!

Then I'll get the 2nd one in a week or two.

 

Can someone please modify this INF with all the devices that laptopvideo2go has. Not working for my laptop.

 

Anyone else having trouble with SLI not working in Alan Wake with these? After installing 301.10 it uses only one of my GTX 580's.

 

Has anyone looked at the profiles with these drivers (export using NVIDIA's GeForce SLI Tool or NVIDIA Inspector)? They look really odd... here's an example:

What's with all the strange symbols? Is it because the tools are no longer compatible? When I imported the text file into Notepad++ it hung for a few seconds during the Compare function.

*EDIT*
No wonder Notepad++ hung for a while... the new profiles are 3.86 MB in size compared with 794 MB for my saved profiles from the 296.10 WHQL drivers!!!
