That is a massive performance increase in some titles.

Mainly for SLI tho

Altho the 28% in AC3 is nice.

The GTX 670 numbers aren't for SLI.

Have you downloaded it yet, n0cturnal? If so, are you using the Geforce Experience software along with it?

The GTX 670 numbers aren't for SLI.

I know, hence they arent in the same sentence and i placed an "altho".

Then again, the numbers for the 690 might also be used for SLI 670. Since they are in essence the same chips, I think (both GK104).

(I also think anything below 10% isnt that impressive, thats just a couple of fps)

If all you have to do is a 5min update, ill take those few extra fps, thanks

No, I'm going to do it tomorrow before Crysis open beta starts. I'm too lazy to do a 15sec restart atm.

Big article on all the changes.

These drivers seem stable, but only more "testing" will tell.. Haven't had a Driver crash in BF3 yet. Downloaded them mostly for Crysis 3 OB though.

[n0cturnal]

Driver seems stable for me this far, been playing a bit of Crysis 3, Path of Exile and TERA. No issues at all.

[Deleted]

Been running this one for 24 hour now, seems stable. SLI performance improvements are noticeable especially in AC3.

690 is more like to dual 680. Both 680 and 690 use IIRC, fully unlocked GK104s with the same amount of shaders active per chip. And clock speed doesn't differ much either.

Nothing new added, only a bugfix from what I can tell:

GeForce 313.96 drivers fix an installation issue reported with GeForce 313.95 drivers with international (non-English) driver packages.

It is still much harder to get same performance with 690 compared to 680 due to SLI "issues" on same board. The 690 is mostly in between the 670-SLI and 680-SLI in performance, closer to 680-SLI though. Also depends on what you are testing it with, some games run better with 690 and some do run WAY better on 680-SLI
