good news. thanks

**Aedubber** · 09-08-2010, 10:10 AM

Wow I like the new look of the interface . Nice , how are the drivers running now?

**Funkwagen** · 09-08-2010, 10:30 AM

Who wants to test this out?!

I dont wanna quite install it yet incase it screws over gpugrid.

**RPGWiZaRD** · 09-08-2010, 10:48 AM

That new setup interface is really great looking. Very suitable NVIDIA style look.

Unigine Heaven 2.0 score went up from 48.2fps to 53.6 fps and I saw A LOT less stutter at sub-50fps area, seems they improved microstuttering/general stutter with SLI a little.

Two 480's in sli, stock clocks
1920x1080
DX11, all maxed out settings in unigine.

I like the "perform clean install" option. I guess it means you don't need to remove the old driver, go to safe mode and clean up any longer, right?

This driver is not available anywhere else, yet tho.

**kaktus1907** · 09-08-2010, 11:19 AM

This driver is just f***ing awesome!!

BC2 is unbelievable smooth now.. gpu utilisation never blow 90%, generally 94-98%

and here a quick bench

12*10, 8xMSAA
GTX460 @890/1780/4600MHz
Q9650 @4GHz
Mission ''High level target'' from begining till our hummer got trushed, test duration ~4mins..

**OC Nub** · 09-08-2010, 12:44 PM

bench may be good but with gtx460 sli bc2 doesnt run as smooth, screen flickers black at some points in the map and see no real gain in fps.

Nvidia What are you doing.

ill tell ya what they are doing a fine job. a real fine job...

Love the new interface and how they let u pic what to install and the Clean Install painless installation. we are coming into the 21th century FINALLY

**RAW-Raptor22** · 09-08-2010, 04:21 PM

Sweet, I will be running some tests with my G71s, G92, and G200b.

**bigKr33** · 09-08-2010, 04:51 PM

I do not like these drivers for my gtx 480. My frames in crysis benchmark dropped 2fps. Nvidia control panel would not open, and my colors were some how saturated after installation. I love my 259.32's better.

I even did driver cleaner in safe mode before install.

I get have this happen to me every once in a while ? What is making the screen flicker black like this ???

**Rattle** · 09-08-2010, 05:02 PM

these seem good for me in bc2 and l4d with one card. I never had a problem with bc2 with one or 2 470's with anything including gpu utilization. Only time gpu usage drops is between maps.

**RAW-Raptor22** · 09-08-2010, 05:03 PM

Tested these drivers!

G92 RESULTS - 3DMARK06:

Looks like a decent SM3.0 gain on G92s.

Nvidia is finding improvements even for the older cards.

Good drivers.

**Ket** · 09-08-2010, 05:12 PM

Typical. I decide to exchange my KFAs for something quieter and these drivers come out. Won't be able to test them until my other 460s turn up

Crysis seems faster with these drivers than the 259.32 for me.. Metro definitely lost a few FPS though, but Mafia 2 is definitely smoother!

Did you guys notice the new driver panel option "Dynamic tiling?"

WTF does it do?

Anyway, just remember these drivers are beta guys. They are a week old in fact, so the official drivers which will be released next week should be much better!

**Ket** · 09-08-2010, 05:43 PM

Whats desktop quality like with these drivers? One thing I'm not looking forward to when my 460s come back is the blurry desktop

**mk-ultra** · 09-08-2010, 06:00 PM

3DMVA 258.69 = 18493
3DMVA 260 = 18831

one problem tho, afterburner extreme cannot set higher than nvidia's limit 1.1138 no more

**Ket** · 09-08-2010, 06:09 PM

Uninstalled afterburner and installed the new 2.0 version?

**mk-ultra** · 09-08-2010, 06:21 PM

well i would need an "extreme" version of the 2.0

since the normal edition don't surpass those limits anyway

Thanks for testing, finally going to upgrade my drivers for my 8800GTS

Hey thanks man.

I really appreciate that.

Usually when I bench new drivers on old cards I get flamed for it. Its nice to see someone appreciates my time.

I will get GF200b results tomorrow.
