And I lost 300 odd vantage points. All of em from GPU score :P
Games are almost same.
@Ket 2D is still the same :(
Not as sharp as ATI.
Has anyone tried those with GTS 450 yet? I was unable to do any benchmaking (mostly black screen or crashing) with 259.22.
Thats a shame. I do a lot of desktop work and blurry text isn't very favorable..
When you test BC2, try running with 1XAA vs 8XAA and seeing what your GPU utilization is. You'll see as soon as you turn down AA GPU utilization drops.
There's NO reason for the GPU not to be using 99% unless you're getting 200fps already.
Other games like Metro 2033 don't have this problem. Nvidia trying to ignore the problem and saying that you're CPU bound when you're under 70% CPU usage is hogwash. Switch to a 5870 and watch it use 99%. Obviously it's not the CPU holding you back. BC2 is clearly an ATI game.
i applied these drivers and seems to be runin perfectly fine for me, kinda smoothed things out a bit .
OP Thanks for posting...Other than the control panel hanging, not responding and my color settings dont load at start up
so far so good in game performance
258.96
Performance preset physx off

For those interested: looks very stable for folding. :up:
Man I see you got some improvements. I wonder why my gtx 480 would be worse? Maybe its really a benefit for sli as I see you have. Then again though I couldn't get into nvidia control panel to view settings, who knows what they were set to by default.Quote:

I've had two crashes already in fact. Anyway, the final version will be out next week, and that will undoubtedly be much better.

Im not sure what is causing it, it happened with my hd5870 crossfire setup in bc2, but until I installed these latest drivers it hadnt happened with Nvidia cards, single card or sli.Quote:

Can have a small difference like that just retesting with the same driver and oc.Quote:

No good for my 295 quads as i many play sc2 and get weird artifacts with these drivers though vantage ran well i scored 38400 with my setup
I'm kinda iffy about these drivers now :/ Not iffy like testing ATI drivers but iffy. Anyone have any other experience with them?
Wow !!! Am downloading right now. 3rd link is so damn slow ~ 40 KB/sec. :(
I been playing the crap out of bc2 with these drivers on a single gtx 470 and its been awesome.
Nice, i got 330 points extra in Vangate. BFBC2 runs smooth !!!:clap:
I ran the test again today...Quote:

EDIT: After increasing my OC from 675/1715/1800 to 680/1720/2030, stock CPU and RAM clocks...

I am going to see if I can break 12000 tomorrow. :)
These drivers are really stable. :D
Here we go:
8800GTS
Evga Precision
Core 702
Shader 1740
Mem 1008
~~~~~~~~~
driver 195.62
7714 3DMarks
driver 260.52
7677 3dMarks
both are lower than my 2008 scores. Go figure, I don't think futuremark is that great in all honesty. I have a feeling if I was to buy one of the regular version somehow my score would go up too.
Just click no, and it will work just fine.
