nvidia drivers 196.34

[andressergio]

Well i decided to upgrade as i put a new 9800GT Green for PhysX, i was runing 195.62 + PhysX 64 bits ver 9.09.1112, so this new ones brings this new PhysX

The best of this beta

* allow me to OC my card more than others
* manage dual cards more accurate than others
* games runs smooth find 0 problems on all i have wich are Crysis Warhead, BC2 beta, Dark Void, Dirt2, Grid, Bioshock2, COD6..etc

The bad

* benches score some less points

here are some screenies of my GTX285







Cheers all
Sergio

wow, you're lucky. I found those drivers did not work well with EVGA's Precision and Warhead ran poorly by crashing out. I went back to the 191.07's. I have found those very good performance wise for Crysis & Warhead.

Well yes mate most drivers will do that give boost to some games and to others not...some as i describe this are good for games and poor for benchmarks

Thanks Sergio for the report on this. I wonder when and if this will go WHQL? It's been out since Jan 27th seems like Nvidia is due for another certified driver.
Possibly one that supports Fermi too LOL

pleased to mate

I just want to report this using more than 1 card, in my case its not SLI its just a dedicated one for PhysX but even that on some benches score less, games run fine and cards hold much OC than with other drivers...so the improvement on multigpu's its a fact...if i had just 1 card i would have stay on the old ones.

Cheers
