GeForce 310.61 Beta Driver Download

Download the NVIDIA GeForce 310.61 Beta 32/64-bit driver
The new GeForce 310.61 beta drivers are now available to download. Otherwise identical to last week's 310.54 beta driver, 310.61 beta improves compatibility in Hitman: Absolution and Planetside 2, and supports a new Black Ops II SLI profile that's available through NVIDIA update.
If you have any feedback please leave a comment at the bottom of the article, and if you have a technical issue please report the problem via the NVIDIA Display Driver Feedback Form.
Note: We're releasing the 310.61 beta drivers ahead of schedule so gamers can play Hitman: Absolution without delay.
In last month’s GeForce 310.33 beta driver we improved performance by up to 15% in nine games, and this month we’re improving performance by up to 26% in twenty games. Leading the charge in the 310.54 beta driver is a 26% boost for the upcoming and eagerly-anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops II, which hits stores tomorrow, followed by an 18% boost for The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, a 17.8% boost for Assassin’s Creed III, which arrives in stores November 20th, and a 12.9% boost for Battlefield 3.
Below, we detail the complete range of optimizations packed into the 310.54 beta drivers using the GeForce GTX 680 and GTX 660; at home you should expect to see performance improvements on any system utilizing a GeForce GTX 400, 500, or 600 series GPU, though obviously to varying degrees.

I will pass this one as it is scary to install drivers on Win8... I appreciate having Nvidia reps over here tho.
Can't wait for Farcry 3 personally and hopefully drivers will be up to the task!

huh? Double click .exe, install. Not sure how that's scary.
Installing drivers in Windows 8 works the same for me as Windows 7...

You sure didn't have that blink of death bug because it makes your PC into a useless piece of ****.

Hi AndyB, this is now the third Beta driver that crashes BF3 every 10-20mins for me + idle clocks are 405 instead of 135. Are you ever going to release a optimized driver for your mobile kepler GPUs (such as the 680M)?
Please reply.

This driver is a small iteration on 310.54. Quad 690 and BF3 fixes should hopefully appear in the UDA, but I do not have an ETA for that at this time.

Idle clocks are fine but the boost clock dropped from 1249 to 1241 for me. BF3 didn't crash but the FPS was a lot lower than 306.23 driver. I already rolled back.
Can someone PLEASE check if your idle clocks are higher than usual on a gtx 670/680?

how does AC 3 run BTW? OT I know, but I'm interested to see if it's better than Future Soldier, which took ages to work properly.

AndyB & ManuelG
Can i expect DeusEX HR fixes in next release, did you forward it to driver dev team?
Ingame max settings, in nvcpl profile prefer max. performance, 16xAF.
1frame to render ahead crashes the game after video loading, 2 fixes it but stutter remasins kinda like before 301.44? fix., doesnt matter vsync on or off.
Thanks.

AndyB, what sort of crashes have Nvidia identified/fixed with BF3 as for me BF3 on Win8 is very unstable, 1min I can play for over an hour with no problems and the next it will barely make 2mins before I get a hard reset?

AndyB please understand the last 3 releases are ACCESSING THE WRONG P-STATES for mobile kepler users PLEASE LISTEN TO US. IDLE CLOCKS are higher than they should be and max clocks are lower than they should be. PLEASE FIX THIS or our notebooks will burn out easier.

Is your game up to date? I noticed that after update to 1.01 SSAO went from fubar to pretty good. However I have another problem. Flickering snow in "Frontier". More specifically deep snow which is shape-able starts flickering like crazy when I step into it.

Show your mobile GPUs some attention. We pay WAY more than enough for them so please.

Dont expect Nvidia to do anything for Guild Wars 2 until ArenaNet gets their head out of their ass and fix the game.
