Kepler performance fix on new drivers coming - confirmed

Hey,

I was looking at geforce forums and want to share a great news with you. According to this post :

We will see a driver that will fix witcher 3 and project cars performance for Kepler based Gpus like 780m/880m/680m! Like it was on the old drivers for 780m!

Good to hear... @Mr.Fox, hopefully you can finally be a happy camper (I doubt it will be the case though, let's wait and see)

 

There was major backlash from this, and nvidia deserved all of it. No way they could not know what they were doing and probably used this fiasco to boost their short term maxwell sales

 

I don't really care all that much about the performance of one individual game title, but if whatever they do finally fixes the problem with my 780M cards throttling to 400MHz when overclocked using any drivers after 345.20 I will be a happy fellow.

The nice thing about very demanding games like the Crysis and Witcher franchises is that it makes it harder for NVIDIA to get away with crippling things. Those are not benchmarks, but they require a lot more muscle than your average games that are still playable with dinosaur GPUs from 8 to 10 years ago.

Fix will be out "very very soon" probably tomorrow or in 2 days.

Regards

 

Well, if it fixes my horrible 780M SLI overclock throttling I will be a happy fellow. If it does not, I'm going to be disappointed again, with like 4 totally broken and worthless NVIDIA driver releases in a row. The newest driver that actually works without severe throttling for my 780M SLI is 345.20, which was released on February 4.

 

353.06 driver with Kepler fix released. Some poeple reports Witcher 3 FPS from 40 to 55-60.

Installing it right now.

 

And not a single frame was given ... Same old same old ... no gains

 

I am having stability issues with M18xR2 780M SLI and Clevo P570WM 980M SLI with the new 353.06 drivers. 780M SLI throttles super bad and both machines have issues with BSOD and hard lock-ups during Windows logon with 353.06 driver.

I have several posts in this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...hql-driver-353-06.776732/page-2#post-10015904

 

Mr Fox, did you do a clean install? Pretty dumb question (I haven't read your posts there yet but just in case).. I always DDU and then install new drivers..

 

Yes. I usually do. I also tried it later installing over 345.20 and it made no difference.

No issues here but I don't see performance gain.

 

My titan-X has not been impacted so it's mobile orientated.
