well I'd like to try so thanks in advance for any uploads, cheers.

im too beat currently. I hoping our Irish friend will help.

 

It takes more effort to sign-in and post on a forum.

 

shooting the breeze and actually doing something constructive are two different things.

 

Worked fine to mod and install with Titan!

 

Wouldn't this be identical with the Geforce driver released recently?

 

For some reason the geforce driver made my screen go black sometimes, when i alt tab out of World of warcraft, only thing to do was to press reset. Gonna see if these work better, never had that problem before with any drivers :S

 

Gave these a go when they came out but just like the GeForce released 331.65 I found the performance in BF4 terrible, stuttered like hell. Went back to 320.92 (with BF3 bits) then 327.39 to test on BF4 and they both performed far better.

 

When the version number is equal, so is kernel driver in my experience. ManuelG recommends the GeForce version for GeForce users.

 

Well played WoW whole day alt tab alot out to windows 7 and with these the screen never went black as they did with the Geforce ones. So im gonna stick with these!

 

as 99% of times, quadro rox...no problems with them, good for ffxiv arr while the 331.65 whql and beta gave me black screen when waking up the pc from standby and coudn't do anithing but restart the machine

 

If you want I can PM



to you and you can try it out. It's a little program I made for personal use to mod quadro drivers. All you have to do is open and mod.

It simply adds your GPU to the INF. If it can't detect your GPU (or if no driver is installed) you can select it from the manuel list and add it that way.

 

so how is the image quality compared to the geforce variant?

 

Performance a lot lower for me with these, scored about 1000 less in 3dmark and my overclock caused an error, reverted back to standard version and everything's back to normal, dunno if its the higher IQ that caused the drop in performance but for me that's not worth the frame drop.

 

So how is the quality on these is it amazing like all other Quadros?

 

Picture is nice and sharp

Modded INF: 7zip'd, x64 international (I used 331.65GF strings)

Anyway I did some testing with multi-display setting


I always used single display perf. mode, but now I saw there are a few extra OGL settings and I tested each if it makes any difference.

I tested in cpu bound games and watched minimum fps

HardReset (3 runs)
single display: min 56-59fps
multi display: min 63-72fps
multi perf. Quadro: min 62-68fps
multimon buffer: min 63-69fps

------------------------------------

Hitman Absolution (3 runs)

single display: min 60fps (2 or 3 frames to render ahead)
multi display: min 60fps, (2 frames to render ahead) 59fps
multi perf. quadro: min 60fps (2 or 3 frames)
multimon buffer: min 62fps (2 frames), same fps as at 4.7Ghz with single display perf., I tested this at 4.6ghz.

And please don't placebo, etc.. I just wanted to share. :nerd:


Atm i've set to multimon buffer and 2 frames to render ahead, since it looks like the best by min fps in Hitman Absolution,..


Later I played SniperElite Nazi Zombies 2 and Rift, benchmarked Resident Evil5 and Lost Planet2 and bot ran fine with this custom multimon buffer setting.
