It would seem they were expecting flack. lolPlease note that performance improvements benefit all GeForce GTX graphics cards, though obviously to varying degrees. We would of course love to show how our optimizations benefit the entire range of GeForce GTX GPUs, but sadly this is unfeasible given the number of benchmarks required. For example, for each GPU and game you test include a before and after benchmark to show the level of improvement, then multiply the number of tests by the number of resolutions, three, and then again by the number of different detail levels and anti-aliasing modes tested. Then, finally, to verify the results, run everything again to ensure there were no anomalies. With so many GPUs in our lineup, even focusing exclusively on the most popular models would prove impossible in the time between a driver being finalized, and released.
Get on that update folks!!!

I hope this fixes the random lag spikes I somtimes come across in some games (And they aren't even very graphically intense, it's more like a glitch or bug in the driver.)

310.70 is a WHQL candidate (beta) driver
Worth trying, especially for Far Cry 3 on the 600 series SLI, TXAA support in Black Ops 2 also.

Any new driver is good if it says "performance increase for 400/500/600 series". Might not be increased FPS, but maybe increased min. FPS or less FPS drops. Been using the last Beta drivers(the ones marked as "Beta") since they came out

So has it been confirmed to actually work with WOW or are we just assuming they did their dilligence? I remember last time it took 20+ releases to find a stable one for warcraft on an older card series. I"m a bit gun-shy at this point...

WoW crashing just because of the SSAO in the game. Was researching and testing hours and the only fix which was helping either disabling DX11 or just SSAO.

He may not be getting that error, By however, I am. But not on the current beta driver, but on the previous beta driver. 310.06? or something like that, I know its off topic but I need some serious help! Originally Posted by Smango

Could it be your OS, other software, or bad hardware that is causing your graphics issues because last I checked, millions of people are using the same graphics drivers without an issue.
I've used nVidia GeForce since around 2000 (GeForce DDR, GeForce 2 Ultra, GeForce FX, GeForce 6, 7, and 8 series, and now a GTX 470). I have upgraded to official and beta drivers and have rarely ever had a problem that seemed to be caused by driver flaws. I have had to replace by 7 series card because it was causing problems that most people report like graphics glitches and graphics time outs. Once I replaced the card and used the same computer, OS, and drivers, the problem disappeared.
I run WoW(64) on Ultra at 1920x1200 with 8X multi-sampling and SSAO with an i7-2600K(4.8Ghz) and GTX 470(700/1800Mhz Core/Mem) and all seems to be fine! Tested on Win 7 and 8 (64-bit). I think my system's quality parts, power supply, and cooling (air) are responsible for my stable system.

lost over 500 points in heaven 3.0, back to 306.97 i guess, it's a shame too, 310.33 showed so much promise
on the left is 310.33 on the right is 310.70
306.97 gives me a score of 5609, so somewhere between 310.33 and 310.70, they screwed up, normally they would just keep developing, but i think they are facing too much pressure from AMD's latest drivers and may just release this crap to the publicLast edited by Cyanotical; 2012-12-05 at 08:13 AM.

They've added sparse grid spacing, this might effected your fps? Or txaa stuffz
