Linkovi na nVidia stranici trenutno ne rade.
Ovo bi trebali biti driveri koji bi navodno trebali donjeti porast performasi za Fermi kartice.
Jedan lik na threadu navodi 20-25% porast u Stalker CoP benchu...
Pod navedenim karticama je i GTX465.

Budemo vidjeli kada ekipa malo vise izbencha ili kada dodju Release Notes.

Popravili su spori load levela u BF2 i digli performanse za 10%.

Ne spominju nista za BF:BC2.
Negdje su dobici tak-tak negdje ogromni.

[MAGARAC]

Ne spominju al ja ti govorim iz prve ruke,load je prepolovljen a framerate je oko 10% brži,možda za nijansu manje ali osjetno.Nije još na razini 5870 .

evo ti log.minimumi nisu realni na dva mjesta .http://i45.tinypic.com/f4kacg.jpg

[Matth€w]

Da li su onda ovi driveri sposobni za 3D Surround?

EDIT: Našao sam, nisu... To će tak za July negdje...

[kripton]

Jeli netko probao ove drivere? Ima li ikakve razlike sa 197.45 i 257.15 Beta?
Pretežito me zanima stabilnost i dobitak u perf. makar nezz moze li se ista više iscjediti iz ove moje, samo da ne bude pad performansi

[Matth€w]

Ovo još malo uspredbi

[Brko]
