NVIDIA GeForce 305.53 Beta Download & Discussion

Dont know if that problem is just with kepler but I'll have a play on bf3 anyway then report back.

Update: Operation Swordbreaker Gpu1/2 both at maxed at 91/92.
Rez:2880x1620 d/s 1920x1080.

 

bf3 still **** for me low gpu usage and massive fps drops, ah well

 

I've NEVER noticed any difference in image quality between drivers and confess to finding it puzzling that other people do. I do use an H-IPS monitor (HP LP2475w) with HDMI though which, IMO, is substantially superior to any TN-Film display I've used in the past with their washed out colours, purplish blacks and poor viewing angles.

 

Well, usually when people are talking about image quality they're talking about the filtering and anti-aliasing, don't you think? Colors are something different.
If you're using HDMI and a Geforce card you'd most likely run into trouble with black levels unless you fiddle around with the settings for a while.
TN displays do have problems with viewing angles and banding due to their lower range of colors, that's about it. As long as you don't use them for professional image editing the difference in color reproduction is negligible.

 

Brilliant, many thanks for that.

I'm getting a new SSD drive in a week, ill update to the latest official drivers and hope for the best

I mainly play CSS, CS:go, MW3, Dayz & Arma 2


PS. Whats this I saw about having to install the physics driver as well as these? I dont think I use any games with this but good to make sure i install all correctly

 

What is your setup? I'm running 1920x1200 @ 60 w/DVI -- 1920x1080 @ 120 w/DVI -- 1920x1200 @ 60 w/MiniDP-->DP

If I pull any one of the monitors all my flickering and red screening goes away immediately.

 

Anyone install this drivers on Win8?

 

Yes:wanker:

 

Never noticed any image quality difference either between Drivers. I'm using S-PVA (EIZO FlexScan S2231W).

Anyways, gonna give these a go now. Can't hurt to try

 

I found that in Bf3 the picture is much calmer, no flickering edges ....

its much calmer to play but lower performance. Stay with these ....

 

Yes i noticed the same, mouse swipes felt more fluid?, i saw the same thing in Fear1 MP.

 

Here are the latest physics drivers

Only really needed for games that actually use it. But its nice to have it as most the time games that do use it always come with an older version.

 

anyone?

 

Can't really say, there's no release notes for these except the OpenGL updates.

 

Thanks.

 

Yes it is fixed with these, at least for me...but I am having another issue in BF3 with these set, I can't press with my mouse pointer any where in BF3 menu, as soon as I do so, the game minimizes to desktop ! :bang:

 

OK, have to ask... Is the Video quality better, the same, or worse??? Any answers? c1:

 

Sounds like you never used a propper TN panel.

 

Oh, believe me, I have! The technology may be slightly better now and they may have low response times but in all other respects they are inferior to PVA and IPS panels in terms of colour and viewing angles.

I could NEVER go back to using TN panels as they're so poor comparatively. I've looked at dozens of them but I've never been happy with any of them. They're cheap for a reason. Considering how much time I spend in front of my PC then a good display is of paramount importance. That's why I spent £450 on my current display and I've never been happier. It's utterly superb in every way and supports DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. Blacks are also very good as are the viewing angles. Love it.
