![]() Still nothing. Hmm ![]() edit. According to the nvidia forums, the drivers are for the new 550Ti card, or something. Last edited by Ego : Mar 15, 2011 at 12:58 PM. |

![]() From the nvidia homepage, it's the whql driver for the gtx550ti. I had to use use a modified .inf file to use the driver though.- |

![]() I have installed the 550ti drivers using a modded .inf file and I can confirm that they improve the performance of DA2 on my GTX 470. I can play on Very High now with somewhat decent performance. It still stutters a bit and slows down here and there, but it is playable. Last edited by RicH(SAD) : Mar 17, 2011 at 02:22 PM. |

![]() You're not kidding, the difference is sort of dramatic from a performance point-of-view with the Dragon Age 2 Demo, here. Now, its playable, hehe! ![]()

![]() i have to say, i'm kind of surprised that new drivers are not out yet. the current set is 2 months old and with the high frequency of releases we're seeing in this first quarter of 2011, it's actually being felt. bulletstorm had no sli profile, dragon age 2 had performance problems and now assassins creed brotherhood doesn't have a profile at all. this is strange because game profiles usually show up in drivers weeks or months before a game has released. yea, these issues can mostly be fixed by using something like nvidia inspector, but it does seem to me that nvidia is dragging their heels a bit here. |

![]() The 267.84 whql driver is out not, people claim that it has even better dx11 performance in da2 than the 267.59 driver. You need to use a modfied .inf since nvidia has forgotten all about their old cards. http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-wi...84-driver.html They seem to perform the same as the 267.59 in da2, at least on my rig.

What I don't understand is why they did not release that gf550ti driver as a beta for all cards, since it made dx11 in da2 playable and seems to have no major issues. |

![]() I bet da 2 is still barely pushing 30fps in that extreme resolution though, it's easy to promote a 500% increase in performance when you had a craptacular fps to begin with. But it's definitely playable at 1080p/1200p with 8x aa now. I just tried it out in the wounded coast area, the fps was good but not great, in the most demanding situations it hovered around 40-45fps.

![]() Beautiful drivers. DA2 still runs at about 25FPS, and it STILL crashes. The only notable difference is that now disabling ambient occlusion does NOTHING in terms of fps improvements; with the previous set I had huge increases. I also love how, with 3D disabled, when I exit a game which I have played in 2D mode, the screen goes in 3D mode, with 100% brightness. Again, 3D is off, but it self activates when I return to desktop. Nice feature ![]() |

![]() Nvidia just released fw270.61. Fixed my performance issues in bioshock 2, so for me they are better than 270.51. http://uk.geforce.com/drivers/results/29657 Last edited by Mangler : Apr 18, 2011 at 11:45 AM. |

![]() These drivers don't allow me to use 3D Vision anymore. Ever since the 270.51 Beta drivers, it won't let me select Generic DLP during setup. I mentioned it to Andrew on the .51 Betas and these .61 WHQLs. Never received a response.
