NVIDIA DRIVERS 9.12.0213

A Guy

No problems with the new driver on my GTX-460. Ran a FurMark test, so far things are good.

So far so good. Only 1 minor issue for me, and thats with Video Playback.

Not sure why, but if I have Dynamic Contrast enabled, it get some odd artifacts in dark areas playing back with Nero.
It doesnt happen on the older driver.

I just disabled it, and its OK even with HW acceleration enabled. Not sure whats going on there ....

working fine maybe even better with my GeForce 9600M GT

Hmmm .. noticed another minor issue.

If my monitor goes to sleep, after waking it again launching a app that requires Admin rights causes a small issue.
The screen just goes black, and hangs a second before the prompt (and sound) comes up.

It only happens after bringing the monitor out of sleep. I rolled back to the previous driver, the issue was gone. Updated to new one, and the issue returned.

So I know its the driver, but Im unsure if its some sort of issue between the driver and my Motherboard.


Can anyone reproduce it?

Updated over 285.62 (didn't install 3D stuff). Played DA:O for a few hours and so far it's solid for me.

Thanks. Ill go ahead and try it out, was just curious what everyone else thought :)

I had to run beta drivers since the last official release because of some bug that was only fixed in beta. I replaced my P55/i5-760 with a P8Z68/i5 2500k, same graphics card, same driver. I was getting frequent random freezes and hangs all over the place and thought it was the new hardware. The freezes disappeared as soon as I updated to this release, so it is AOK in my book

I was getting freezes too, thought it was my hardware too, just upgraded and I've had a few problems since. The freezes were annoying but it seems since these drivers have installed, there isn't a problem now (hopefully). Are you still getting problems? and when did your comp freeze?

Im back to 285.62 for now, as its pretty stable for me.

Only seeing that delay when a UAC prompt is initiated the first time after the monitor came out of sleep. Afterwards, its fine untill the monitor sleeps again.
