Nvidia GeForce 337.50 BETA - Discussion & Download

Just tried AssCreed 4, Vsync is borked? or has it been this way since launch?

Constant 58 - 62 fps forced Vsync'ed on or Forced off via control Panel, with major stuttering when turning the camera or moving.

30 - 50 fps - Vsync on via in-game options. Same stutter.

Shader Cache was on for the new drivers and also tried off.

Performance was better with 331.82

EDIT: MSI Afterburner was the problem. Though FPS is still the same as with previous driver.

 

Hi guys. Do I need to upgrade to Windows 8 to see benefits in this driver or can I still use windows 7 and get 100% from the driver. Because Im a little confused. I thought tile resource only direct x 11.2 feature?

 

I think I have found a bug with this driver and Tomb Raider with VSync and Triple Buffer on.

1920x1080 all options maxed out except for AA: 2xSSAA, no TresFX and no DoF.

With my previous driver the bench gives as min fps 45 but with this driver it gives only 30 fps as minimum. I could understand that this driver didn't improve the fps in my system but it's 33% slower :eek3:

If I remember right VSync without triple buffer set the fps in steps: 60, 30, 15 so i'm thinking that the drop in performance is in reality that the triple buffer option in Tomb Rider is not working with the new drivers.

Could anyone test if they can reproduce this behaviour with TR and the new drivers?

 

That method looks very involved when you first look at it but after you do it a few times its pretty simple and saves a reboot also much cleaner than just using driver fusion by itself. These new drivers are very fast but im kinda miffed now I cant tweak them some in nvidia inspector. I don't want to ruin them and have to install them again. I've installed and figured out too much for tonight. I didn't foresee the magic drivers causing me to go to another level of driver cleaning and negating nvidia inspector(which was helping out a decent bit in Titanfall. Infact these drivers are almost the same as my Titanfall nvidia inspector sli setup except these are much lower latency. No longer any bullet lag and the frames this driver renders are far more coherent(whole) the image quality and video quality as a whole are far more clear and cohesive and I think tear free........ Need some more time to actually use them but I'm a tweak nut(I know I'm more addicted to tweaking stuff to make it go faster(I have to get that fix before I can actually sit back and enjoy them(mine must be faster!!!)))

Browser tabs and windows pop with less latency as well and like square photograph wholes...

Now I'm Getting that same AFR Glitching in titanfall again with the crazy text blocks. I installed the drivers played a round completely clean. Alt tabbed the game fired up remote desktop alt tabbed back now I'm getting the AFR crazy text block glitches just like in 335.23 when playing with nvidia inspector and forcing AFR. Man these drivers are like brain teasers hard to figure out how they interact. These are definitely beta need some finishing touches to say the least.

Win 8.1 =s GOD all who defy it are merely nerds stuck in a rut hanging onto the past as everything they ever loved slips through their fingertips(but be damned that they wont vote for obama LOL)
Windows 7 is when windows turned around from the bloatware that was Vista more tailored to a hotkey personalized "user os"
Win 8 metro is better than startmenu(if they ever get rid of all the bugs and makes allot of ergonomic sense). I wouldnt use it at first because of the elimiation of windows aero chrome(window borders) but that queeny guy incharge of metro was right its bright and distracts the eye casing you flex your brow adding to your stress level while using the os. The muted solid/faded borders blend in more and I noticed very quickly that my face as less tense after 6 hours of use.

Wow what these drivers do for Crysis 3 like 30 extra frames at 2560x1440 with most everything tweaked off except high textures(which is most of the view). Up from 150 to 180 up to 230 near the edges of the map. That is impressive and magic all this work is finally worth it. Titanfall is buggy I think they did add a titanfall profile because now obviously it is using AFR SLI rendering(still buggy).

 

Win 7 is the new XP, Win 8 is the new Vista, Win 9 will be the next XP.

Thus the circle of life.

Cue the Lion King song.

 

so confused so windows 7 is XP win8 is vista I am sure you said it was windows 9 earlier so windows 9 will be really old like XP looks like I will be staying with windows 8


I am starting to think you don't like windows 8 I might be wrong it would not be the first time .....

 

Enlightenment is only a click away.

 

do i have to buy windows 8 to see the full benefits of this driver? or is it 100% the same for windows 7.

 

For me performance is down in A3, 53% gpu usage on both gpu`s and cpu performance is all over the place which has made A3 really jerky in sp campaign.

 

You're mostly going to be GPU limited though with 580's so you're not going to get a huge boost, it will mostly just be the minimum framerates like in Batman AC where you get the most improvement as that is the main time you're going to get a CPU bottleneck slowing them down.

You must have got a boost in AC4's minimum framerates around vegetation and towns, no?

I need to try Crysis 3, that must have got a big boost on the first and Dam level where the CPU throttling absolutely killed framerates.

 

I tested a known choke point. With the old drivers, standing outside Dragonsreach above the stairs and looking down at the tree I was getting ~55FPS. With the new drivers, I get ~62FPS there.

(Remember to temporarily force vsync to off in the NVCP in order to test.)

Edit: This is with an i5 2500K @ 4.2GHz and a GTX780.

 

So far i havn't had a Black Screen during Windows Login with this Driver. But i'm not sure if it's the Driver that has been fixed.

I recently swapped my motherboard from a Gigabyte Z87X-OC to a Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H (for a future upgrade). And i went from C1 to C2 Stepping by doing that.

So i'm not sure if that could play a role aswell.

Then again, sometimes the Black Screen occured after a week or longer. So let's say i need 4 weeks to see if it's gone.

 

Hitman Absolution- 1080p Ultra 8xMSAA-

Min- 68.09fps
Max- 149.80fps
Avg- 87.08fps

I didn't bench it with the older drivers, but remember it playing a bit crap, and dipping down to 45-50fps, now it's awesome!

 

ACIV does not support triple buffering. If you you force vsync from the driver or in game your framerate will halve if you can not maintain 60 fps. On top of that the game is capped at 62,5 or so fps. At first I was wondering why the performance was crap. My framerate was always halved because it never reached 75. Forcing tp and vsync with RP or d3doverrider fixed that.

It's games lag naturally - means the games HAVE AWESOME GRAPHICS and EFFECTS. UNLIKE others whose games LAG BECAUSE OF POOR PORTING.... Cevat Yerli, CEO of CryTEK

Post your settings please.

 

I am also confused, but i think that everthing that supports Dx11 will work with this new feature.

So if a OS supports Dx11 and your video card also you can benefit from this feature.

On the OS side tiled resoures is only part of Dx11.2 for win 8.1, but Nvidia only used tiled resources to work with their drivers.

Nvidia took tiled resources out of Dx11.2 and implemented it in their drivers to work with all Dx11.0 OS and video cards.

 

If thats true I'd had stayed with W7 it rocks!

 

Really? Then I should have been staying with W7

 

If win 7 supports Dx11 then yes.

But there is noting wrong with win 8.1, just boot in the old desktop and u dont see any differences and today MS has a update to get the old start button back its just win7 but then better. and faster with SSD's.
