I tryied them and returned back to 340.43 driver.I noticed decrease in sniper 3 for about 20% and in just cause benchmark 10%.Hitman is more or less the same so i decided to roll back to 340.43.Is it normal that some games run worse on new drivers?cause last two nvidia drivers run worse sniper 3 and just cause 2?it cant be cause of flashed bios and overclock i think..btw new drivers work on dead rising 3(at least it solved my problems with exe stopped working but its runs so bad and its not playable even on medium setting on 900p).Hope it helps someone

 

we can never tell if new drivers are going to help everyone.
as its a game ready driver it might just help for the new releases its mentioned.

thanks for the feedback.

 

hey i tryied once again these new drivers i think i have enough now to write a review haha.So this new drivers are fantastic if you plan to play directx11 games.I even managed to raise my max stable overclock by 35mhz on core( 1056/2750 on 760m not bad with same voltage and watch dogs seems less to stutter but it still feel it in some ocassions but it seems to run a bit smoother not only cause of a bit more overclock.But as i mentioned just cause 2 and sniper 3 run worse for me and witcher 2 and borderlands 2 and crysis(first part).So the conclusion is that this driver is ideal for direct x 11 games and runs bad for directx 9 and 10 games.I run other in game benchmarks(tomb raider,sleeping dogs) and they reacted well on this new driver.Only exception is sniper 3 as a directx 11 game.I wanted to ask you guys.What tools you use for updating drivers?i usually delete my old one in control panel(programs and features) and than i install the new one and after installation i use ccleaner to clean old nvidia files?you have other method?

 

Dmitri, I don't go through any of that fuss when I update my Nvidia driver. What I do is first export my game profiles using Nvidia Inspector, run the driver installer and select 'clean install', and import the profiles back into the driver after it's been installed.

 

I no longer do any sort of clean install in general, Unless something goes wrong which is rarely as of late. I just run the nvidia installer and that's it. Even my profiles and settings remain intact.

 

Your settings remain intact if you don't select 'clean install'. I select it every time I update my driver because it deletes buried installation files from the previous driver. Exporting and importing my profiles restores my settings.

 

thanks for the feedback dumitrumitu24

ive done quite a few tests over the years on which way cleans most nvidia crap.
everyone has their own methods from using geforce experience, straight delete in control panel and load new to the most thorough which is safe mode clean using a registry cleaner.

im old skool so always do the safe mode clean. the 3 cleaners ive tested are driver cleaner pro, driver sweeper and cc cleaner.
whichever single cleaner i use the others will always find obsolete registry entries so i normally use driver cleaner in safe mode then after reboot cc cleaner before i install latest driver.
to be honest its not really needed now a days unless you have a corruption and then its the only way to make a clean install.
im just a lazy bugger and cant be bothered to change as ive been using this method for years.
