259.32 Vista/Win7

Not sure tbh, I don't check Vantage just the games I keep installed. More interested in my Cinemark performance and audio apps, gaming is just a pastime

Stepped back to the 259.31's and everything is fine again @ stock clocks. 259.31 did bring improvements with the recent L4d2 update and in Bc2/Moh beta/etc, and 259.32 was the same fps (more or less) for anything I'm playing atm so staying here for now.

 

OK, now just have to wait for a new version, maybe WHQL.

 

when it comes out i heard wensday

 

I started downloading from 2 other links and they were dragging. I tried yours and finished in 22 seconds while the other 2 chugged up to not quite half way. Nice find, thanks.

this is better than 258.89 for Mafia 2 , 460gt cards. thx nvidia

edit: only bad thing i saw at this driver is , it causes more heat on gpu.

max temps i saw at mafia 2 :

258.89 > 61C
259.32 > 67C

No OC at gpu. And nothing changed at pc instead drivers.

 

Thats strange, so the new driver will strain your GFX Card more, maybe
something in Nvidia Control Panel is difference, or your Fan is Running slower
with this new driver.

But still 67c is nice, if i run FurMark 10 a 15 min my 2 Geforce GTX 460 1GB
will run:

Card 1: 78c Max.
Card 2: 70c Max.

So 67c is very good temp.

 

I also saw its causing more heat, Mafia 2 here, too.

 

259.32

GPU idle = 37C (fan speed 50%)

GPU load = 69C (fan speed 80%)

20mins of Kombustor.

I have very good airflow in my case though.

 

Yes very good airflow, **** 69c for a Geforce GTX 480 is very nice.


UPDATE: i also have used MSI Kombuster in Stability test and my 2x
Geforce GTX 460 1GB will not go higher then:

Card 1: 60c
Card 2: 37c

So try FurMark and you see that your GPU temp will go much higher,
MSI Kombuster is not a good program to see how hot your GPU gets Max at
full load.

FurMark v1.8.2

 

These drivers fixed TF2 microstutter for me that 258.96 had.

Did some benches and they were pretty much the same in performance. Mafia II demo bench didn't do any better. Lost Planet 2 bench dropped about 4 FPS avg on A and B.

 

where you found 258.89 driver?

 

Im having a little problem with this driver. The AA is not working on Battlefield BC2. I've already tried many settings but nothing worked at all

Is anybody here having the same issues?

 

Look what I got when DLing latest driver 258.xx from the Nvidia site!

I find that a bit strange with the site having a 'us.' address.

 

bull**** iddle and load, u realy think i believe that lol [with a gtx 480 rofl]

mt gtx 460 sli temps are 40 gpu 1, and 42 gpy 2, on iddle

on load with non dx11 games like borderlands it gets 68 69 on load

with games like maffia with apex physX on High en everything max in dx11 it gets over 75

 

Well... Here we are on Saturday 8/28/10 and for some reason, Nvidia has not released any new drivers. Based on some forum chatter; I was hopeful that we would see a new WHQL driver set. I'll just have to continue to be patient.

 

They released the 259.47 WHQL over Windows-Update.
And they've done it good

I don't believe that one bit sorry.

Seen far too many of these gpu's running in different system configurations and they simply don't run that temperature at idle. :3eyes:

 

Maybe he has a custom fan profile and the default fan speed for idle is less than 50%?

 

My crards idles 46C and 42C with 42% fanspeed. Room temperature is 24C.

My Cards idel: 41c and 33c with 55% fanspeed.

Room temp is 20.2C

UPDATE

And Cards Load: 85c and 69c with 100% and 90% fanspeed.

Is a 16c temp difference OK or not?

Whats also strange is that 1 GPU is always running at 1.0250v and 1GPU is
always running at 0.9370v, they are the same GFX Card, i think maybe this
is the reason why 1 is much hotter then the other.

Going to look if i can lower the Volt of 1 of my cards.
