Nvidia GeForce 331.40 Beta - Download & Discussion

Whoa you mean you still have that eMachines !!?? with this beta driver that works for you ?

I thought eMachines dies in 1990's c1::3eyes:

 

Had major problems with these drivers and BF4 beta with my SLI 670s. I usually get 80-100fps in BF3 on ultra settings, so that's the baseline i'm expecting.

Started on 327.23 - was only getting 30-50fps, so installed these, was getting 15-30fps - but realised SLI wasn't enabled, so enabled that and was getting 30-50fps as well. Changed to low, still only getting 40-50fps. Have reinstalled 314.22 and now getting 55-80fps, but no SLI. At least I can play the beta now, but it would be damn nice to actually use both my GPUs!

 

Does anybody have a problem with frame drops while crossing finish line in every lap or at start/finish straight - In Australia, F1 2013?
Benchmark seems fine, no stutter at all avg. 115 fps at ultra set. and 4xmsaa...

edit: game froze up, however i can hear sound from game and gamepad is responsive, only hard reset helps...

 

Real good drivers for me.

Win 7 64x

 

Acer owns "eMachines" brand now, but yeah they're still around.

If that shocks you, I have a Super Socket 7 eMachine mainboard (AMD k6-3+ 550mhz cpu too) with a 520 PCI and these drivers will install for the card with XP installed. And that's as old as system as you can get and still have a modern card. Any older and you won't find an OS that would support the rest of the system's legacy hardware, although maybe some linux distros aimed at older machines.

 

Win7? I have higher framerates, even with a single 670, on Win8.

 

Windows 8 is doing much much better with Windows 7 according to alot of people

 

That's the reason I'm asking, exactly. I looked at the numbers just yesterday, out of curiosity, and comparing his scores & system to mine led me to that as the only plausible conclusion.

 

yeah for directx 9 and up games....but for lower:bang:

but like some people pointed out compatibility could be maintained only for so long.


also Im starting to think most people that are praising windows 8, only plays solitaire and facebook games.:grin:

 

Win8 64 without uefi install, but I'm still crashing with 670 4GB SLI on an MSI Z68A-GD65 G3 motherboard with the 331.40 drivers. It crashes in anywhere from 15-60 seconds, rarely a minute or two, setting the screen blank and after about a minute recovering with a TDR message. Anyone else having this? If so how did you fix it?

EDIT: FIXED!

In short: don't use anything above the normal dual-link DVI limit if you run into the problem I did. It's now worked perfectly for around an hour, before it was crashing within 30-180 seconds every time.

 

ea

 

I know you were sarcastic, but i'll post anyway

All these work ok in Win8, even older Dx8 titles like TheThing, AVP2000,..

 

source?

 

ok

dx8 and up work fine on windows 8


tried playing blood 2 yesterday. 11-30fps. it like I was playing it on a nvidia tnt card with amd k2 processor

 

What about the likes of Dungeon Keeper 2 (1999), Caesar 3 (1999) etc? Will these work on Win 8?

 

video playback is broken in OVERLAY Mode.

EVR, VMR etc works.

drivers are slower than 314.22, absolutely no bugs with the almighty 314.x so back to them, regretted trying this set of drivers, sadly drivers seem to be getting slower, not that it matters with my gtx690, but it's bothersome nonethelss.

 

I'm getting a weird Heaven "crash" on my 770 lightning with these drivers that are not in the last official drivers. My overclock that is stable will just undo about 30 seconds in after a black screen then the test will carry on at stock clocks any thing over stock will cause this also causing a batman AC C2DT.

 

rolled back to 326.80s. Much better IQ, better color, smoother performance. Maybe it is all placebo.

 

better color? LOL

 

Yes, better color.. the gamma is different on the 326.80s
I realize you can adjust it, but I couldnt get this driver to look as nice as the gamma on the 326.80s.
