NVIDIA GeForce 310.33 Beta Download & Discussion

maybe it doesnt want to wake up yet its still sleepy hehehe by any chance did u happen to play with ur pc before it went to sleep? it might be still tired lol

 

The origin of that rumor was this EA subsite:
http://eagothenburg.ea.com/jobs/software-engineer-2/
http://eagothenburg.ea.com/work-with-us/

 

To all the peeps having problems with the driver, it a BETA driver.

People are just reporting issues. It's the point of *testing* a beta driver.

 

But it was not made by 'EA Gothenburg'... it was made by Criterion.
So that right there should have told you otherwise.

How can they make a game a month ago if they are still hiring people to this day for the same project announced a year ago?

You guys really should not take rumors for granted here.

 

Need for speed most wanted is indeed frost bite engine 2 if u play the game notice the detructable environment is as nice as u see in bf3. but i could be wrong though.

who cares what engine its using, this is a driver thread.


And yes its criterion own unoptimized engine. Check wiki.

 

I said that's where the rumor stems from, nothing else.

 

It's a driving game, exact same thing!

Anywho, I had a crash on Borderlands 2 with these, freeze to black screen and had to kill with taskmanager, otherwise everything is fine.

 

Working fine here in SC2, quakelive. Still need to test Borderlands 2/ BF3.

 

Noticed on the GeForce.com forum that they've identified what caused the black screen/flickering issue with the v310.33 beta drivers on Windows 8:

1) Flickering Screen/Black Screen After Installing R310.33/R310.54 Drivers on
Windows 8

Issue
After installing the R310 driver on Windows 8, the subsequent reboot results in a black or
flickering screen.

Root Cause
This occurs because Windows Update performed a background installation of a Release
304 driver, which requires a reboot to complete the installation. After installing the
Release 310 driver and then rebooting the system, installation of both the Release 304 as
well as the Release 310 is completed, resulting in conflicting driver binaries and the black/
flickering screen.

Workaround - Prevention
To avoid the issue, reboot the system before installing the Release 310 driver.
Alternately, you can check the driver status under the Device Manager and perform the
reboot if the Device Manager indicates that a restart is needed. Then install the driver.

Workaround - Recovery
If you did not perform the necessary reboot prior to installing the driver and now
encounter the black screen, do the following:
1 Reboot in Safe Mode.
2 Uninstall the driver.
3 Disconnect from the internet and then restrt the system.
4 In normal mode, install the new driver.

 

And that why i always keep my pc diconnected from the net when do a OS install that way you get a chance to change Win Update to only check for updates and not to install them automatically.
