new nvidia drivers 314.22 WHQL?

Can these drivers improve performance of my 680m, for tomb raider?

Because I can not play with the maximum antialiasing, and full settings.

Is this normal?

These drivers can help me?


Thanks for your help

Yes, that driver update will help performance of Tomb Raider and a few other games. If you go to the Nvidia driver download page it will give you all the information on what the update will give you.

It will increase Tomb Raider performance significantly, but I still wouldn't expect you to be able to max out Tomb Raider. The higher-setting hair-effects using Direct Compute are something nVidia cards are very weak at. Supposedly even a desktop GTX-690 was brought to its knees when trying to render the realistic hair.

 

thanks for your reply, I was a little scared because I saw on a page that I should go to the maximum.

i will try again with the new drivers to see if it improves a bit.

thanks mates

 

Let us know how it goes

 

My R3 with 580m gets low 20's on Extreme with all the hair turned on. It's ...sorta playable... not really

I prefer to stay on high settings so I can stay at 45-60.

 

I got HUGE FPS increase on my 580m. Went from 32-40 on High+ (custom) to 58-60 on the same settings. I also have a bug (M17xR3) where my PC cannot be brought out of sleep. I have to hard shutdown using the power button.

 

I've seen that resume from sleep problem with a few M17x owners. It happened on my R3, tried a bunch of stuff and gave up (it was a 120hz model so no chance it was something to do with the wrong card being 'resumed'). Later my SSD failed so it got a fresh install - sleep problem went away

 

I've got an m17x r4 with 680m and 3720qm and can play Tomb Raider in Ultimate mode with Tress FX on.

Using 314.22 drivers.

 

hello, I can play with Tressfx on, and fxaa mode, i get from 26-36 fps.

without Tressfx i get from 45-52fps.

What kind of antialiasing using? fxaa or ssaa?

4xssaa using only reached about 20 fps making it impossible to play.

Ultimate mode + FXAA and the game runs amazing
