Yeah I had a few of those in Premier Pro too. I'm not sure what is triggering it but I ended up downgrading back to the last WHQL set. Shame too as they were quite fast on games.

 

NVCPL stops responding when pressing the System Information link.

 

Not here.

 

Installed and NVCP didn't show up in Tray.

Then I noticed I had messages in the Windows Action Center, 3 for "Video Hardware error" Or something.


Gonna run WEI and some games and see if anything is wrong..

 

everything working good here so far. restarted playing fallout new Vegas from the beginning. I started playing tuesday morning around 3am with the other drivers .and then install these drivers later on in the day, I swear the textures look better with these drivers.

 

Everything is working fine with this driver on my end.

@ AndyB

I would like to point out that the AA flag for Diablo 3 (0x004412C1) is causing the game to have graphical glitches. It's been doing that ever since Nvidia added that flag to the profile. Not sure how to explain it, but when it happens it's like the screen will get alot of green, white and pink pixles everywhere. It only does it for a split second though, but it's doing that about every 20-25 mins or so.

I can confirm this as well.

 

What AA are you using? I've had 8xMSAA enabled since the day the game came out and haven't had a single issue.

We know that CSAA removes certain effects, and are investigating a fix, but none of us has experienced what you describe.

 

3D Vision performance dropped like a rock with these drivers. That, and that pressing CRTL +T doesn't really disable 3D...it stops displaying 3D, but it keep processing both views (you can tell from the FPS and the darkness of the monitor).

Other than that its great, but it seems 3D stuff was a bit neglected in this release.

 

Just 4x MSAA + 4x Supersampling.

 

There's a known issue with forcing CSAA in Diablo III with the current profile but it works fine with 2x, 4x and 8x(Q) MSAA on my system (I'm using 8xMSAA). Before I had 8xCSAA forced in the driver and was missing the blue/yellow glow around doorways and other effects.

 

Probably the SS.

 

I'll try it without the Supersampling. Also, I stumbled upon this post earlier. Maybe you would be able to shed some light on it.

Looks ok here, guess its GF 8/9 series specific.



this is with 304.xx, its the same with 301.42

 

Thanks for reply -Tj-.
It may be its gf 8-9 specific issue. Thats why I asked mauro earlier if he can take a look on it, as he has gf8. It could shed some light, if he could reply.

Wtf no TXAA on older cards? Such bs tbh... oh well FXAA does the job great too. GTA4 looks really nice now with FXAA

 

boerenlater, is that normal for your system, or is it first time you run cuda-z and you dont know how it was behaving on previous nvidia drivers?
Im nor sure if there is a problem on your system or not, because your gpu is appearently in idle - pcie 2.0 x8. Correct me if Im wrong but:
pcie2.0 16x = 5000MB\s;
pcie2.0 x8 = 2500MB\s.
1250MB\s would be pcie2.0 4x, right?

 

Cant locate the TXAA settings on the Nvidia control panel.
Is it really there? lol

 

TXAA is application specific and must be implemented by the game developer.
