nvidia 285.38 driver and W2 ver 2.0

Question for those running the beta BF3 drivers from nvidia and Witcher 2 ver 2.0: did you notice any strange gpu behavior with those drivers and Witcher2? Good or bad, noisy or quiet, or nothing at all. I'm just doing a bit of testing.

I'm using it. no problem at all.

They are very good, better than any driver before...

 

[IMaysky]

confirm, good drivers.

My performance has dropped a bit since I updated to the new beta drivers, of course I installed the 2.0 update before I tried the new drivers so I'm not sure which one is the culprit. I'm going to roll back to the 280.56 drivers when I get home and see what happens.

Could be just me, but I thought my gpu fan was running alot faster with these drivers.

Great performance fps wise. Card gets hotter. Lots of crashes.

Just got the drivers this morning and finally managed to play for about an hour . Better framerate than with the 280.26 drivers averaging 40-60 FPS no additional heat card runs at about 72 C. . I have EVGA Precision set to change fan speeds according to card temps so no change there .

System specs are Intel C2Q Q8200 @ 2.33
8 GB DDR2-800 memory
GTX 560 Ti at stock clocks
Realtek HD audio

Tommy, my gtx560ti only runs 53C with the fan's at 67% using MSI Afterburner, why is yours so hot?
I've gone back to the 280.26 drivers, and been doing some testing after getting a few game crashes. I'm done with the BF3 beta so those 285.38 drivers are gone.

I would say 2 reasons for the difference in heat temps
First would be Sparkle only put 1 fan in the card and the second could be that it`s getting real close for the semi annual "dust bunny" removal
