tested on GTX 460M

Well, what do you think? (Maybe my laptop sucks...)

 

DIdn't really notice the fps increase in BF3.
Is there any benchmark tool that I can calculate the average fps during gaming?

 

I was getting this driver for Skyrim, but I got decreased FPS in FFXIV with 285.79, about 5FPS less.

 

I get extra 5 FPS in assassins creed BH to.
gonna test gta IV later... if those frame rates are true this sux
I hope they'll fix it.

 

Temps only seemed slightly better than 285.62. I rolled back to 280.26 or something I don't remember numbers but my GPU is like 10-20c cooler when idling and gets about as hot on full load. However, my card doesn't downclock as much when it reaches the set critical temp.

 

20fps down in GTAIV? Come on. That's unbelievable. So I'm not getting that driver now cuz I'm playing gta4 at the moment and totally love the game.

Well? what do you have to say?^ even with ThrottleShop...

 

Sucks totally. I'm sticking with the old one. Period.

 

WAIT^ I just found that I have a virus on my pc. I will try to find it, and then I will show new results

 

He has serious issues with his laptop. Theres no way GTA4 drops 20fps. Actually, it gained around 2-3 fps of average.
I can confirm this, as well as the whole community on guru3d.

Take his tests as a grain of salt, thats all. Go on, these drivers are awesome.

 

Hehe. Even i was thinking that 20fps is a hell of a reduction in fps. Glad that's not the case. Will download it and test.

 

Horrible Drivers, IMO

I tried them.. about a 500ms Pause every 3 seconds in COD:MW3

going back to 285.62 to verify.

I heard of a stuttering problem and the .79 driver fixing that... But it created that on my machine from what i can tell....

BTW, nvidia is recalling cards to figure out why they stutter.. Google NVidia TDR

 

using this beta drivers I never had stutter problem on my G74 and gamed it to the end...what about performance comparison with .64??? Anybody...

 

Yes, at first I had this stuttering issue, then I restart the computer and everything goes smooth.

 

As I said, I had a virus for the whole time. AVG didn't do the job, but nod32 did!

Now I'm running every game w/o problems (except of GTA IV, from 40 fps to 10 and back to 40 fps)

on max settings (oc) on Skyrim, I get 25~32 fps now (800 1600 1600)

 

Thats good, something wasnt definitely right. Keep on the good work

 

they are not working well for me , i try many but still dont know what best to my laptop , i have asus g51vx-rx05 , does any one knows what best stable drivers out there ,

 

Try 285.26 or 275.33.

 

k thanks ,, i will try them ,,
