Anybody get the cuda tick in gpu-z with this driver as i dont, I have an 650m i have tried installing the cuda software driver but it does not seem to support the 600m series.

Nvidia delivers like always.

It might be that you have to wait for the next driver unfortunately

EDIT: seems like you have the only mobile GPU which won`t install due to some bug. Sucks

Unfortunately the old 301.42 seems to stay optimal for my 540M (in Optimus ), with symptoms ranging from +0,3 better WEI to no stutter in the game I play, which 306.23 introduced. Also, 306.23 yanks adaptive vsync support from me, no sign of such ''news'' in the release notes.

....further investigation...

and the stutter is apparently caused by none other than vsync misbehaving - the framerates go above 60, to 61-63 and then bad things happen.

 

So this is now the best driver for the 670m?

 

someone is still playing these games especially stalker?

thanks for posting

 

Ive reverted back to 302 for my 680m . DX11 was substantially broken on the 306 beta. Alot of crashes in BF3 and Arkham city including some terrible stuttering. Both problems were fixed going back to 302. Seen as the beta was commented by Nvidia as being as good as a release I may give it a miss.

 

i have both games and have not had either one of them crash in DX11 mode on 306

 

I originally had the problem with Batman and blamed Physx. But I enabled that on high with DX11 off and no issue. BF3 and Batman crashed everytime on DX11. I understand it could be all manner of things but I never once witnessed the same problem on 304. I will give 306 WHQL a shot and hope I had some other problem that will of worked loose.

Thanks for the feedback anyway.

 

I installed the 306.23 drivers myself just fine but the cuda tick isn't there for me either. Not sure if i should be worried...

 

I would be very thankfully if someone could answer me this quick question, because tomorrow i should receive my Asus G75 and I'm not sure which driver to install.
So, is this one the best for the gtx 670m?

 

i am gonna test out this driver for battlefield 3 with my 675m, if i see better performance then it should be same for 670 since both from same generation

 

Same performance as 306.02 drivers. My laptop is in my signature.

 

like John mine is not ticked as well as the open cl error on start up.
ive been told by supplier to use nvidia inspector and gpu capsview instead.

it depends if your lappy already has windows 7 installed. if it has then dont bother updating for now. all your other drivers should be upto date as well.
if you are installing windows 7 yourself then this is the newest official driver and should load fine.



loaded fine for me with the 680. used driver cleaner and driver sweeper in safe mode which found loads of obsolete nvidia crap as usual.
3dmark06 - 100 points
3dmark11 + 60 points
3dmark Vantage + 720

only played crysis 2 tonight but will try out B3 tomorrow. no idea on fps as not checked and not really bothered.

 

open cl error on start up, is that with gpu-z if so i use to get that, if you have an optimus system, upgrading the Intel display driver fixed it for me.

John.

 

The Laptop doesn't have Windows 7 installed, so then i will take this driver to install.
The other choices would have been the 306 beta and the one from the Asus G75-Drivers Website. But that one I think is too old and it wouldn't make sense to take the same beta driver over the official one.
Thanks again for the advice.

 

thanks John. i will try that one even though i dont use gpuz much now.

if you need them theres lots of monitoring software for your temperatures and benchmarks in my sig below.

 

i feel same performance in terms of frame rates in bf3

 

Yes thank you, I've already had some of them but the list is just huge.

EDIT:
I've just noticed that the driver from the Asus Website has also some other parts like optimus etc...Do I need those too?
Can somebody tell if the other components of this zip archive are really needed and if they are also in the 306 integrated or not?
ASUS - Notebooks- ASUS G75VW - OS Win 7 x64 - VGA - 2012.07.18 update

 

Maybe its optimus. If I force it to run using my nvidia card, all my things are checked, but if its running on intel card, then only 2 things are checked

 

Anyone able to throw out a modded .inf for a lowly M17xr1 280m sli user? I'm REALLY wanting to play Dishonored on my pc, instead of a crappy console, and these new drivers have the sli profile that I'm going to need. Anyone, anyone???

 

Wow really?? You can't tell that extra 2 FPS difference?

 

Seems like others are experiencing issues with Adaptive VSync being removed... Or is it just 5xx/4xx cards and older?

 

is there even any point to driver updates for someone on a bootcamped MBP 13" 2010 (320m)?

 

So far Baka has noticed a 3-5fps increase at some areas in GW2 compared to before ._. This is from a lowly GTX485M though.

 

My 680m is performing about the same. I saw 3-4 f.ps increase along with more stability in gw2 and more stability in TSW

 

i stook at same spot on same map in bf 3 and the frame rates were same from before and after update

 

BF3 has been out for awhile and is fairly well optimized. most of the time when you get new drivers from nvidia you see increases in newer games

 

Bug fixes.

 

Has Baka tried anymore games? I haven't had a chance to update but I plan to later...I also have a lowly 485m

 

Baka has not tried with other games since most of the other games gets 60fps on max eitherway except for a few ._.

 

Can't play BF3 with these drivers also. Game would crash by the end of a round. 304.79 are still the best for me.

 

one full round of B3 but 4 crashes in other games. screen freezes and ctrl alt del to close.
i hope its just the servers and not these drivers as i cant find the default 302.71 that lappy came with.

 

all clevo drivers can be found at clevo.com... i have been playing BF3, TSW, Batman AC, and GW2 with 306.23 and had 0 crashes... i did a clean install using the nvidia installer

 

yeh i found it there thanks. just crashed again in B3 so rolling back time.

the 680 one i downloaded was 302.92 and thats the latest one i can find on the P150 page from 17th august

 

I went back on playing Final Fantasy XIV, driver crash still happens with 306.23 also BF3 too like on the 306.02

 

302.92 has bumped my windows score back upto 7.1 for graphics as it went down to 7.0 for latest whql wahooo.

now to try B3 again

 

Maybe its tied to GTX 680s using Optimus?
Never had any Dx11 game crashed at all.

 

302.92 and 2 games of B3 and no crashes. only one server timed out.

 

It seems that in this driver Optimus isn't working. My 650m stays on it's highest clock speed for ever, it doesn't clock back .

Edit: just as I posted this, the driver clocked the speeds back to it's lowest levels:thumbsup:.

 

Lovin' these drivers so far, seem to have gotten an increase in Skyrim over the last 305.xx drivers. Using the laptopvideo2go version though.

 

I recently tried out the new Nvidia 306.23 drivers but ultimately rolled it back to stock. I have the sony vaio S13 with an i5-3210M and Geforce 640M LE (O/C to 850/1000). The main reason was that I was not getting the same performance as the stock driver. Moreover, games that had DirectX 11 enabled, did not run (e.g. Deus Ex: Human revolution). I ran a benchmark test in arkham city and found that I was averaging about 30 FPS. In contrast, with stock drivers I would get around 32FPS. Interestingly, after updating the PhysX component and returning to stock I am getting a better overall benchmark over stock PhysX and driver (40fps vs ~32FPS). Based on this observation, it might be the case that the updated PhysX component is a significant factor in the perceived performance improvements rather than the updated drivers alone

 

Is it just me or with the new driver my fan is constantly at a higher speed ? :|

 

So far so good for me. Stable and a good performance.

 

just reloaded these whql drivers again.
for some reason with the previous driver vantage is failing on the crash and burn test. futuremark forum suggested to manually update PhysX driver even though when loading drivers it said i had the latest which was PhysX 09.12.0604
after a search i found in fact i wasnt using the latest and PhysX 09.12.0613 was released 3 months ago in July.

vantage now runs fine so could you all check you have the latest PhysX loaded

start>control panel> nvidia control panel>system information> components tab> 4 on list should be 09.12.0613

 

Thanks for that heads up mate, its strange they would announce this drivers and state that .0604 was the latest! Ill give these a go thats for sure!

 

ive done a system restore to go back to my stock driver that my computer arrived with.
multiple crashes in B3 on every multiplayer game.
crysis 2 played fine last night but of course its not as demanding as B3

 

On mine too, always bumps up to 3000 rpm first then reduce to 2400 rpm few min later, did not happen with old drivers.

 

Its really worse with my M18x. I am getting shaky and missing graphics in battlefield.
Going back to beta drivers.
