Latest NVIDIA ForceWare Video Drivers Windows 7

[Spidey1976]

WHQL 270.61 working very good here haven't seen any issues yet. Nice improvement in some games over the last WHQL for my 560 (266.66). Slight improvement over the beta 270.51. This one's a keeper for me.

Working great so far on the 8800 GT - temps are about the same, though... I always seem to run between 50 & 52 C

Latest drivers working very well on my 9600M GT, it seems to have fixed an issue with the video card where my screen would go black forcing me to hard reboot

Thank you Harry. First post updated.

Nice, I hope these drivers help with Battlefield Bad Company 2 flashing white screen problem that I get after about a half hour of playing. =)

Thanks Harry, but with my past issues with nVIDIA drivers I will wait until the next WHQL drivers arrive, they have been fairly quick with them.

Will give them a try once I finish revision for tonight. With the last few drivers getting better and better with each release then I'm looking forward to these. Mainly the blu-ray playback.

Im using 270.61.
I dont seem to have issues ATM, but then again ...

How are the Beta drivers better?

 

[Airbot]

They've rewritten the scaling in these drivers. Have some better options there, few options added to the Update notifier, etc. Quite a few improvements from the last set. Looking pretty good on my system so far. No probs here so far at least.

got it! thank you, airbot. Should I run the Driver Cleaner Pro before installing the beta?

 

[Airbot]

Just check the Clean Install box when installing the Nvidia drivers if you want.

you have my attention.

I am still using 182.50 (incidently very old now) drivers because they couldnt get scaling to work properly on the wddm drivers, but if they have redone the scaling then I may give these a shot.

some good news from me.

I have tested nvidia's new drivers.

The options show when a analogue cable is used but the scaling is still dvi only, so I plugged in the dvi cable (spare rig uses analog usually as the monitor is aweful on dvi for some reason) and surprise surprise scaling works very well, even 640x480 which on 182.50 required a custom res to be added.

There is 2 extra options.

First is to do scaling on gpu or display, when on display 640x480 failed but when gpu selected it worked. Second is an option to overide games that ignore the setting, which I guess will interest some people here.

I also ran some 2d benchmarks using passmark as incidently 19x nvidia wddm drivers were around 30% slower than 182.50 drivers and these new drivers have massively closed the gap, only an average of 1.8% slower now. (3.2% slower on 3d).

This tested on a 7600GT.

Just wanted to say thank you for updating us with driver information. I didn't know where until I read this thread so again thank you my machine runs beautifully now and my graphics are a huge improvement too.

The beta drivers bumped my 3dMark 11 scores by about 300 points.
Anyone see similar results?
