New Year's driver ForceWare 266.44

Very nice drivers so far, my only issue is that I get a driver not responding and has successfully recovered error every time I exit a game.

 

Great drivers so far! Did not get a single crash/BSOD or even "driver not responding" yet, and I played a lot of Crysis, BC2:Vietnam and WoW in DX11 mode.

Did anyone else notice that the control panel got extremely responsive since a few leaked drivers back? Before there was always a slight (300-500ms) delay when switching between the different sections, but not that happens almost instantly.

 

My Win7x64 crash with these and I have to push the button "reset" for restarting

 

The driver crashes every time I bench Crysis!
I did the installation twice. Everytime the same problem!

And here with the 265.90...no problem and everything stable!

 

with me it was the other way around , this set works great while with the 265.90 i had drivers crashes in the desktop.

 

COD BO x8aa x16 run 98-99% GPU usage with thise drivers in single player (patch 4)
also BBC2 (patch 602574) 98-99% x16aa x16

 

What about x86 OS?

 

I told this was a good driver for me , it still is but it doesn't support my 3DVision as it should.
So I tried the 263.09 again that gave corruption in 3DMArk Vantage.

Now it was not a driver problem but a Vantage problem , Thanks to my Guru friends and google I found out that if you install 3DMARK 11 (even with patch) that it corrupts 3DMARK Vantage.

I uninstalled , driver , 3DMark Vantage , 3DMark 11 .
Reinstalled 263.09 and only "Vantage" and now the benchmark runs smooth.

SO IF YOU ARE RUNNING GTX 5.. IN SLI , DON'T INSTALL 3DMARK 11.

 

Can anyone confirm that these do actually allow you to add AA in NFS:Hot Pursuit?

If so can you enable it in game or do you have to force it through control panel?

Thanks.

EDIT:

Never mind just had a quick read through some previous posts and it has been confirmed by two people that I can see... Very happy chappy

 

Do you see AA in this photo:

 

nope.

You need to force it, not enhance it.

 

God I hope not.... If AA is on I would be very unhappy.

 

i'd like to force vsync off in this nfsHP 2010 but can make it work, i tried inspector, nvcpl and its a no go. this not the only driver with which i meet that issue.
any idea why ?

 

you mean override the application in CP?
if so, i would try that and report back.

Why? the game is capped at 60, i get 50-60 frames all the time pretty much, why you need more and it will feel the same

 

yea override any app setting in nvcpl profile:nerd:

 

... I guess I'll contribute some screenshots. 8xQAA applied

 

Go to Documents\Criterion Games\Need for Speed(TM) Hot Pursuit
open with notepad "config.NFS11Save"
change to FitToVertical=false

then force vsync off in nvidia game profile, that's working for me.

I didn't manage to get AA to work though, but this driver is working good, not a single bug since it was posted here and installed.

 

can you guys please resize the photos, damn.

 

I just tried override, it ain't worth it, just smooths out the overall image a bit, with a performance hit, now the game is moving from 30-52 and drops to 17 sometimes. Nah , i am going to keep it at enhanced, 50-60 frames all the time , the game still looks good, doesn't really make it worth the AA.

 

They are 1440x900 lol. I don't see the performance hit, was running at 60 fps, and now I am at 60 fps.
