NVIDIA 267.24 beta Driver

NVIDIA release a new beta driver today:

NVIDIA DRIVERS 267.24 BETA

I installed without any problems and am currently testing.


Not much stated in release highlights

New in Release 267.24

•Adds 3D Vision support for Bulletstorm.
•Adds SLI support for Homefront.•Improves compatibility with Dragon Age II.•Fixes an issue where the NVIDIA control panel may not be accessible via the Windows desktop.

 

This driver is ... dissapointing

 

Should we fully uninstall the old driver (266.58) and install this one if we want to test it out?

 

Last 3-4 NVIDIA released versions, I installed as custom; deselect 3d driver and select clean install. Selecting clean install will remove previous version and will require a restart once install is complete. Haven't had any issues installing this way.

Can't say this will work with any of the modded drivers, when I have used them I uninstall and use CCleaner before installing another version.

 

I have this problem, but I think I´m gonna wait for the official driver...

 

Can anyone confirm if this driver has shader issues with Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2?

 

To answer my own question... no these drivers still have issues with Left 4 Dead. From what I've read it's an issue of the guns not "reflecting" properly that makes them white.

Left 4 Dead also keeps turning off multicore rendering... which is not a good thing.

Not sure if I will keep these drivers or not. I will need to do more tests to see if the performance vs the 260.99 drivers is worth it. So far I'm inclined to say "No."

 

New driver is great, thanks GadgetBoi...
I would recommend I seem to be getting slight performance boost

 

Ack, was hoping the next set of drivers would fix the L4D shader issues. I'll wait for the official release on this set.

 

Thank god they fixed hardware acceleration on adobe flash

Edit: or maybe they didn't, my GPU Activity doesn't seem to display anything.... gonna do a usage test now....

Edit Edit: Nope, Flash not fixed... Boo

 

improved my 3Dmark score by 27!

 

I installed this new driver and Minecraft's performance as gone down by 50FPS. I put the settings down to Short and Fast graphics settings and no change.

 

you have to whitelist minecraft. stayed the same with me very playable.

 

Yeah I just realised I forgot to whitelist it.. and I just installed the 266.58 drivers again....

 

Can anyone tell me if this one works with Pro Evolution Soccer 2011? I'm still on the 260.99 ones and they get me kicked playing BFBC2. The drivers that don't get me kicked don't work with PES 2011 ><

 

Why not just try it? Takes moments to run the installer. Just select the option for Clean install and let the installer do the rest. Can be installed right over your existing driver. I've been doing this now with the current NV drivers since they changed the installer and have not run into any issues (yet).

 

Doesn't work with Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 or GTA IV. Back to 260.99..

 

Again ?????

They do really hate japannese games isn't it ???

 

Yep, because, GTAIV, CoD4 and CoD5 are all Japanese games.

 

So far so good!

 

Does BC2 work online now?

 

Since I am not sure what is going on with l4d2, I'll go ahead and try the new drivers and report back.

Edit 1:
What the frick is this line about: "Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power technology with Intel chipsets are not supported by this release." It's at the bottom of the supported products page.

Edit 2: L4d2 is not working. Game loaded and about 2 seconds after it loaded it crashed. Everything high, no AA, 1600x900 resolution (Connected via HDMI) Multicore rendering on

 

It worked with 266.58. I just came off of playing for 2hours.

 

Have you tried disabling multicore rendering?
