:up: All the good things being reported still true? Hopefully so. Well and truely lays to rest the much higher standard Quadro drivers are made to!

You asked for it, so I done it. Modded Quadro 259.57 drivers. Check first post for DL link.

Anyone tried them yet? I switched to them from the beta 260.63 drivers and my FPS went way up in games and benchmarks alike. IQ is noticably improved for me as well, most noticable in the 2nd GPU test of vantage.

using the new ones now with my gtx 460. Did notice a bump in fps in a few games, but honestly, can't tell a difference with image quality.

Image quality, bumped up slightly but also power draw increased by 20watts compared to 260 forceware geforce stock drivers.

But the most important thing was up in the fps by 5fps compared to 260 geforce drivers.

I didn't read through the whole thread but what are the main differences between the two drivers. Can someone give me some cliff notes ?

I think ill give it a try KET.

They work with SLI ? and i need to install the PhysX driver alone after installing the Quadro driver ? ( see my sig rig )

Btw Ket, first post says "does not include physx drivers" well, it does include physx drivers at least in 259.57 it does.

259.57 wont recognize my GTS450....

no quadro equivalent for the 450gts iirc

yes it may be the cause.

it must be ... because they only make 470's and 480's in quadro flavors

I'd like to try these drivers, mostly to try to improve PPD in F@H, :up:

Works fine with my SLI GTX460. But i cant use physX on the GTS450 since its not recognized.

I can fix the GTS450 issue, will upload a patch file. Just overwrite the existing nv_disp file in the driver package.

Your the king KET !

Working fine. SLI GTX460 + GTS450 physX @ 5760x1080.

Glad to know its all working out well for people :up: FYI the 260.63 beta drivers are borked. Try running the GPU test in Cinebench 11 and you will all see what I mean ;)

Image quality seems a little bit better, and frames are about the same as my 259.32's. Tested with a single gtx480

While benchmarking with Vantage and FurMark i see 10 celcius higer temps on GPU's than with GeForce Forceware 260 drivers on my GTX480's and GTX470's.

So i guess these drivers take everything out of the GPU compared to geforce drivers, what would happen if geforce drivers would have that kind of gpu usage with its current image quality, radeons would suffer, think we're talking 1-3% performance boost on here compared to latest geforce drivers.

Sounds good. Going to check these out :)

@Ket, any luck with 260.xx Quaddro drivers?

Tested Quadro 259.57
Performance drop with these compared to normal 260 driver...
went from 40k back down to 38k vantage GPU score but IQ is noticeable so i can deal with little lost in performance for more vibrant colors and all around better IQ

I had it other way around, gpu test 1 gained awsome 2fps by going to quadro drivers compared to geforce drivers.
