Thanks for this, Spets. I've been so obsessed with getting home to try my new PS Vita that I nearly missed both this and the *gasp, I don't believe it* certified 295.73 drivers.
lets see if rock of ages likes this one.... UPDATE: Yay :cheers: and as a bonus, Alice 2 still works, and so does Cursed Crusade :cheers::cheers: *gets a little woozy*
Once again, nvidia boggles the mind. I mean, they release a new display driver and a separate new physx at the same time, yet include a slightly older one with the new display driver??? LOL
WHQL process takes a while, chances are they gave that driver to Microsoft a little after their previous beta then improved the PSS a little bit more.
Batman:AC Results So with these and the new PhysX drivers out, I figured I'd do a little testing of my own in Batman: Arkham City (Seems to be the only game I've got issues with at the moment...) :3eyes: I saw better pretty much the same average FPS over all of the driver combinations, with a slight decrease in the new WHQL ones. I did see a higher min FPS with the last beta drivers...overall not much difference here. :cheers:
Just wondering then, does WHQL cover the installer package too? They could have simply replaced the Physx folder in it, right? I just find it funny how nvidia always seems to add a bit of confusion or whatever whenever they release something. But as long as it works well!
i got +20 fps in batman ac with the physix version in 295.73 drivers before i got 40-45 fps, now 60 fps locked by vsync gtx 580
