310.90 certified driver!

[Napoleonic]

I guess it's the same with 310.70 with just added security hole fix.

[PowerK]

Looks like it.
Critical Security Problem in Nvidia's Drivers, Exploit Code Circulated

Interesting that my gpu's default to 'unknown' with these drivers upon post. Restarting fixes the issue. Sorta frustrating posting twice now. Have installed multiple times.

Only one solution to that...

C:\>Format C:\ -f



I didn't update since I don't want to mess with my profiles again.

More than one solution though. I'm considering an AMD based GPU solution for my next laptop. Nvidia's Verde driver sets are consistently troublesome. After 1.5 years, multiple formats, and even a new mobo/GPU/ram and hdds....I still get at least 1-2 driver crashes per day, Win7 and 8.

Yeah, just about done with mobile Nvidia.

I keep expecting magical things from Nvidia in terms of performance improvement, but alas

I would gladly settle for a crash free experience. Mobile performance isn't spectacularly different across any driver sets I've tried. I just. want. it. to. work as advertised.

What do you need improvements for?
I have a 670 and I crank the graphics in all games to max and some more without a singel problem. Its one of the best cards I have ever owned

My setup, fortunately, does not crash. I wonder if it's a mobile issue?

Borderlands 2 performance sucks

Borderlands 2 performance sucks

It is, a long running one at that - confirmed by multiple sources and it's an issue Nvidia doesn't appear to be willing to address.

What's odd though...even on my meager 560m BL2 is one of the best looking and best running games I have. Go figure.

[KAC]

Borderlands 2 works fine here even in 3D. What issue are you facing Sazar?

[Mangler]

Probably physx related slowdowns.

[Lazy8s]

Probably physx related slowdowns.

If I leave physx on auto I have slowdowns too, that's even with the little bit of physx I get on my 560m. Tips on the web suggest setting it to cpu, and that does seem to help.

I installed 310.90 last night and the included Nvidia HD audio drivers screwed up my Asus Xonar drivers. Front panel headphone detection no longer worked properly. I didn't even realize there was an audio driver included with the Nvidia graphics drivers now. Promptly uninstalled the audio driver and all is well again.

It's been included for a while and has been known to cause those issues. I usually choose custom and uncheck it.

Yeah I think last time I may have deselected it along with the useless 3D Vision stuff. Just forgot.

313.96 Drivers are out...

Get them here

www.geforce.co.uk/drivers/beta-legacy

[KAC]

Hmm, but I just installed 313.95 this morning. What is the change?

[acroig]

Some installation problem with the int. version.

[koralis]

Just realized I should probably make a note here so it stays stickied for people that run into this in the future...


Discovered that Thread Optimization causes some 2d elements not to display properly.

314.07 driver

http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-wi...ql-driver.html

[KAC]

Any gays reporting Crysis 3 performance improvements?

[Ego]

I'm having a problem with every single driver set I've installed for Windows 8.
At some point during the uninstallation process for the old drivers (my guess is when the uninstall reaches the actual driver) the screen will turn blue (it's my start screen color - if I put it to red the screen will go red - and I can't do anything.
The OS is still functional, if I press the windows key I can "see" the screen going from desktop to start screen (there's a slight color difference) and if I get the shortcuts right I can even restart or shut down the PC.
It's a very annoying issue, because every time a new driver is out I have to go through "blind restarts". After the OS is restarted I can install the driver with no problems.

Has anyone else experienced this ?

Just wait it out, for some reason it takes a long time. Had the problem this morning, went and got my stuff ready for the gym and when I came back it had gone past my black screen.

Really ?

I think I let it stay like that for about 2 minutes until I started trying to restart the PC. Did you let it sit like that longer ?

I let it sit for about 15 minutes while I was gone, probably didn't take that long, but when I came back it was at the uninstall complete screen of the driver.

[bill dennison]

is a new feature with the 314.07 driver

don't think I've see it with the last few

[GravY]

just installed without any issue..

[Ego]

It's not a "new feature" of the latest driver set, at least not for me, on my rig it's been around since I've installed Windows 8 and Nvidia's first WHQL for it.

[badboy]

so new WHQL drivers are out 314.22



http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/art...ivers-released

LOVE NVIDIA! Always new good drivers for new games

[Kain]

Awesome! New drivers released the day I receive my GTX TITAN.

[H001iGAN]

Is it the same driver just with bioshock profile added?

[BababooeyHTJ]

Is this really any newer than 314.21? I thought that whql certification took longer.

[MNB4800]

It includes Tomb Raider improvements. Though, any word on Crysis 3? I just got that beast yesterday and was doing an average of 30 FPS on Very High + FXAA.

At this rate, you might really succeed in cornering me to get another 670

But you do man! Want quality in games but not willing to shell the boners.

[Dungeoncrawler]

These drivers suck with gta4 - Can't even maintain 45fps on twin titans . Previous set was golden with this game.
