Another NV driver GeForce 340.52 Driver WHQL

Here we go guys, NVIDIA DRIVERS GeForce 340.52 Driver WHQL

64bit....

I'll post some benchmarks later...

 

Downloading now. Thanks for sharing.

 

if this fixes the 880m i think i will cry!!!

 

Express install through GFE from 340.42. No issues except I can't find where it expanded the install files. This and the last release did not create anything under c:\nvidia... No rollback option either that used to be there. I'll post in the NV forum in the vain hope of an official reply, haha.

Anyhoo, I run my usual batch of in-game benchmarks with the games cranked up (Batman AO, Hitman Ab.,Dirt Showdown, TR, Bio-Inf.,F12012, and Thief).

Basically all the same with a one or two FPS drop. Except Bioshock Infinite, that jumped from 69fps to 85fps - but I see these anomalies sometimes .

This appears to be the last beta maybe with a few fixes slipped in - we hope.

Watch Dogs is probably going to show if they have started to fix the stuttering although I have never experienced it.

On a similar tack, my benchmark exe for Metro Last Light vanished from the application folder since I last benched it. Anyone else or just something weird for me?

 

Thx for sharing man! Will post my findings as well on my 880m (still using slv7's vbios).

 

Nooooo, is it raining where you are Haha

Doesn't seem likely but for those suffering I keep my fingers crossed. You can't get around borderline hardware without crippling it in the driver (IMO). It is working fine for some so let's see how it plays out - and don't buy an 880m ATM .

NV have avoided all questions regarding stuttering except to say 'Probably not fixed in next WHQL' in the last driver thread.

 

No difference on my system. Haven't tried games though

 

Didn't think there would be - were all your games OK before?

 

Need help updating nvidia driver to 340.52. I'm currently on 337.88 . When I go to g force experience is says last checked update is 5/26/2014 so I click on check for updates and nothing happens. Still says last check for updates is 5/26 /2014. Also how do I go about updating g force experience itself maybe that will let me update drivers
Thanks.

Forgot. I have 2013 alienware 17 with 770m and have never had a problem updating nvidia drivers for almost a year now .

Reinstalled g force experience and seemed to have fixed problems . Downloading latest nvidia driver now. Kinda weird why g force experience would just stop functioning correctly.

Happened to me once and had to manually update. It is still new for NV so I'm actually surprised how well Experience works, and it's great for inexperienced users to see what settings actually do in a game.

It seems that there are still a lot of unhappy (desktop) users with this driver version but is just fine for me. Next one probably in the next week or so....

 

The only thing I use g force experience for is updating my nvidia drivers that's it. The game out optimization settings in g force experience seem Redickulus to me. It turns everything way down so I don't use it. I have a 770m and turn all settings in all games pretty much maxed out except aa and physex and my system don't seem to have a problem running anything so far.

Yeah, you can now tell it to optimise for quality but I only see it as a good starting point. Anyone not knowing about the settings also gets some info on what they do. It is nice to see all my game settings on one page though

I always run max physics and compromise elsewhere if needed. There is so much missing when it is dialled down

 

Hi All,
Is it OK to use video drivers from NVidia website rather than official ones (which are almost two years old in my case, lol)? Are there any restrictions when using those?
Thanks!
P.S. I have Alienware M17x R4 with GTX 660M

 

Hi, You'll be fine - no reported issues with AW's.

If you have any games with benchmarks built-in it might be an idea to run it before and after to see if it improves anything. Heaven 4 (free version) is a good test as well: Heaven Benchmark | Unigine: real-time 3D engine (game, simulation, visualization and VR)
