Battlefield lovers ,, NVIDIA 285.38 beta !!

New in Release 285.38

Increases performance in Battlefield 3 by up to 38%.

Improves overall stability and image quality in Battlefield 3.
Added or updated SLI profiles for Battlefield 3, Dead Island, Diablo III, Dragon Age 2, Need for Speed: The Run, and Saints Row: The Third.
Fixed a performance regression found with 285.27 beta in Crysis 2 (DirectX 9).

 

Seems that they made a few fixes as well, also more sli updates and profiles.
Im going to post a modified inf for our gtx's.

 

Here it is.
A modded inf with a twist: it supports g53 gtx460m but is softmodded to show it as gtx560m.
Just a string edit, nothing else, for fun.
Its attached.

 

do i need modded ones? cause i have no problems installing originals

 

No the modded one are for card that isn't registered and cant install through the regular installer

 

Nice thanks! I will install it right now, and after, I check GTA IV and dragon age 2.

 

Why would you need modded files if it works already? I installed the VERDE 285.38 beta just fine on my 460m 1 gig. Im a little confused.

 

No need to be confused. G53SW have a different dev-id board, thats all. We dont need to repeat ourselves so much, aint we.
To be exact, g53sw dev id is 2047, where g73 is 2046. Also all the others from 2043-44-45 are included in the official verde package.

Asus specifically asked to remove that dev id in the verde notebook with the intent to release their custom drivers, things that obviously failed hard.
Ive written g73 as well althought i was wrong on the SW part because some JW users have the same dev id as well. Its a mess.

 

Oh wow I didnt know all that. It seems Asus really needs to sort all that out. Thanks for the explanation! Is it just me or do other people also see performance increases with these new drivers on bad company 2?

 

a noob question...how to install the new driver with the modded inf by Kingpinzero...thanks a lot...i have g73sw though..

 

uncompress the driver package using WinRAR or 7zip, and then copy the new inf to the Display Driver folder. (You'll see a matching file with the same name there) Copy over it, and then run the installer. And eat a fig.

 

any help please? i still couldn;t install the new 285.38 driver..thanks..

having g73sw..

 

awesome, thanks

 

yea, i did follow ur instruction, but still saying incompatible hardware to install the driver....

 

Onkai follow my tutorial in sig, it may help.

 

I downloaded the 285.38 notebook driver (150MB). I could not install it cuz it said no compatible driver found. Where can i get a modified inf (showing it as a gtx460m) for my g53jw? Any help please. I uninstalled the old 285.27 driver and used driver sweep in safe mode. Then tried installing 285.38 but it won't install.

EDIT: This time downloaded the 32 bit version instead of the 64bit one. God. Kill me please.

I made a modded driver pack

 

anybody with a NVIDIA card that has BF3 beta access...this is a must!!

 

Thanks, Chastity! I've been wrangling with this for a couple of hours, trying to do the mod myself, but kept getting conflicting instructions. Will try your download tomorrow.

 

LEGEND. Worked a treat .

 

Thanks! Worked great, can't wait to try the open beta tomorrow

 

I have the g74 and my games play fine will this be a MUST for me as well?

 

Okay, I tried to update the GPU driver from 270.61 to 285.38 with the modded pack I downloaded, but still gives me a "failed to install" message. I tried to switch the "nvam" inf file with the orignal and that did not work. Has anyone had a similar problem or solution? Will I have to rewrite the driver hardware id to accomodate the driver upgrade, since Asus seems to be behind in updating their drivers for the GPU. Looking forward to Battlefield 3, but I want to have the optimal experience from the game. Or do I have to wait around for Asus to step up to the plate. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

My Rig:
Asus G53-JW-A1
500GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s)
Intel® Core™ i7-740QM, 1.73-2.93GHz, (45nm, 6MB L3 cache)
nVidia GeForce GTX 460M 1,536MB PCI-Express GDDR5 DX11
8,192MB (8GB) DDR3 1333MHz Dual Channel Memory
6X Blu-Ray Reader + 8X DVDRW/CDRW Super Multi Combo Drive

 

I would uninstall your NVIDIA drivers first, reboot, then run Driver Sweeper 3.2.0. Then install the 285.38 mod pack.

My guide in the sig can help, althought Chastity already told you the vital steps.

 

Thanks. I will take both of your advice. It obviously must be something I am doing.

 

My savior!
Wasted about 3 hours last night trying to figure out the .inf fix, thanks alot!

 

Okay, after following step-by-step directions from the other posts. The Nvidia driver will still not install. i have done everything short of wiping my harddrive to install this video driver. I think the main problem is that Asus still hasn't upload the OEM drivers in over a year. I am highly disappointed. Also I haven't found anyone who has created a modified version which will work. And now, there is version 285.62, and I can't install that one either. I suppose i will have to write the code, and post it here. I have a Asus G53JW-A1 and I keep getting a "failed to install" message. I have updated the Bios from Chastity's ROG reference list and I have even used driver sweeper 3.2, and totally uninstalled the GPU and the drivers, and still get the same thing. I tried Kingpinzero's modded .inf, and that didn't work. I think Asus has dropped the ball totally on this issue. Any suggestions short of me taking the time to rewrite my own driver? It's very frustrating. I just want to play BF3 without issue.
