Driver release for BioShock

Drivers are out! 163.44, grab them from nzone..dedicated thread here: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=235329

EDIT: some people beat me to it, lol

 

AWESOME!! thanks for the heads up Ragtag!!

 

30-60. I'd say 30 FPS on average when fighting and lots of things going on.

DX10 or DX9 doesnt seem to matter, i get the same FPS.

EDIT: Wohoo! new driver

 

Same FPS and people say they don't see a difference....I'm guessing the demo doesn't really have DX10 effects

 

This did not fix the slow down bug..

 

The new drivers works way smoother for Bioshock. It feels smoother as well. A keeper for me! Also, digital vibrance is a go!

 

The new driver fixes the SLI bluescreen problem.

 

Didnt do much for me.. i still have to use windowed mode for BS to load levels (i can turn on fullscreen when playing though).

FPS is exactly the same as before.

 

It fixed everything for me. Did you try to disable vsync?

 

yes, ive tried vsync on and off.. the performance is ok for my computer, but that fullscreen bug is very irritating, would really suck if i have to switch back and forth like this with the full game.

 

these drivers are amazing for bioshock (havent tested any other games) my performance is anything from 50 - 110 fps. Average at 75 at max settings. Just goes to show that Nvidia still does its job very well.

 

Too bad, the driver fixed everything for me. Although I get some weird textures on the first screen.

 

how are u guys testing FPS's in the game? is there a way to turn this on?

 

You can use FRAPS or RivaTuner's OSD (fraps are easier to use, lol..but RivaTuner gives much more than just FPS display while you play ).

Just download FRAPS, leave it running and play. That way you can see your FPS in every game you play. And with F12 you can change in which corner you'll see the counter.

 

fraps, get the new version from the main site here

 

Nope you're a twat for posting flawed information. He's right


Hey vurt and anyone else with the full screen bug did you read this part of the read me?

"
On some video cards when running DirectX 10, it is possible that the game will start in a non-full screen mode. To reset to full screen mode, go to the options/graphics options screen and toggle windowed mode on and then off. This should rectify the problem."


Hope this helps

Well Im just about to dload the new drivers (though Im not too impressed they are beta but never mind) but with 160.18 in XP Im getting 75-85 FPS with max settings, 1280x1024 vsync on. Ran smooooooooth as for me. I'm happy ;-)

 

Look if I had known I would have posted it with a warning for 8800 users - it wasn't an issue I was aware of - it's impossable to know everything, though some think they do. Lowering prerender to as low as 0 has been used for years to reduce lag.

SO 8800 OWNERS DON'T USE 0 OK.

I called him a **** because of his arrogant attitude - same goes for you slappydooda777.

What's with all the ***** on this forum these days?

 

o i knew about fraps.. i didn;t think that made a vista 64 compat version today is a good dayy.. bbl!

 

slappydooda777: i dont have a problem that it doesnt start in fullscreen... it just wont load when i press "demo" in fullscreen mode. thx anyways.
