    Yes i can say that they are. I was using the 301's for the longest, install the 314. but it was a driver conflict or something, did a fresh install of the drivers and Jericho runs faster, sleeping dogs runs faster, BF3 runs even faster, Nexuiz runs faster.. No problems whatsoever :)

    I had 301.42 when they came out. I can't recall any big performance loss with newer drivers since then. I only took your word for it.

    Well i updated my comment, the 301 are nice, but the 314.22 blow them away lol. i am getting faster and more stable performance with the new drivers, i had a driver conflict or something before, but did a fresh install with the drivers and everything is fine now.

    I've only had that when reaching the 65-70% point in the game. I disabled TressFX and it seems to have stopped. Not sure if it was the cause, just saying that it hasnt happened after that.

    Oh, so older drivers aren't faster after all. That's a relief.

    -_-

    BF3 FXAA is disabled in driver profile (greyed out), so is MSAA (only app controlled), the only thing that works is Transparency AA!

    Even if you force it in global profile, BF3 game nvcpl profile will overwrite it and nothing will work except TrAA.

    I'm pretty sure they only gray out FXAA for games that have FXAA already implemented in it. You can still use it if you allow it in NV Inspector. (Which is what I had to do for skyrim)

    There where, ingame as postAA? or in BF3 nvcpl profile?

    And no its not, unless you already use ingame PostAA which btw is a blurry mess (except postAA at low, kinda)
    [​IMG]

    Or like CyberDyne said only if you manually re-enable it with nvinspector, although I didnt try it yet..
    I tried it once in TombRaider 2013 but it looked broken, some weird blurring going on and it didnt anti alias properly.

    WOW i never notice that lol, that's weird. So only AT and enhanced aa works for it?
    it sure looks good tho.
    Here is a picture, 1600x900 8x enhanced aa and 8x super sample and fxaa , but i guess its only showing super sample:

    I've only just started running Far Cry 3 in "High" and it runs beautifully. Quite tempted to go and buy a GTX 670 and slam it in to "Ultra".

    I'm quite surprised it runs so well given the age of my card, and it just goes to show how badly Far Cry 2 ran.

    All i see is postAA at high which blurs the whole image waaay to much, loses some fine detail.

    Are you using ingame Deffered AA too? I guess not otherwise you wouldnt get "good" fps. :)


    Anyway its not important, i just wanted to let you know if you're using driver fxaa or enahnced AA it wont work - ie forced in global profile.

    So how does D3DOVerrider work with these new drivers?

    - If I put Vsync off in drivers, D3DOVerrider cannot enable it.
    - If I put it on any other settings without D3DOVerrider, massive stuttering in BF3.
    - If I put application decide, and D3DOverrider, not working.

    So basically I cannot get this D3DOverrider to work with these drivers. Any Help?

    For now reverting to older drivers does the thing. It's like night and day, these new ones total crap :D

    I went back to these drivers after the terrible 320.00 then remembered that this driver causes me one problem only. BF3 has a problem with them. When I click to join a server sometimes I get driver not responded but recovered and then the process hangs.

    Can anyone suggest another driver for me that had good performance? I don't want to use the latest Quadro either as that broke effects in BF3 also.

    I am really getting fed up of Nvdia drivers. Did not have this many problems at all with my 2 5850's...

    Thanks all.
