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.

Have you tried forcing NVIDIA Update to get the newest profile? Does it still happen with newest profile?
Andy/Manuel, I'm still having trouble with Black Ops 2. Sli doesn't kick in automatically in the SP and MP exe's. I have to force AFR2 to get it to work.

With this driver SWTOR and MWO is still freezing every 15 minutes (the same as with 310.33 and 310.54 before). 306.97 is working fine with both games...no crash or freeze at all.
Now I want to play Hitman Absolution, but the 306.97 has no SLI Profile for it
.
Is there a way to import a working SLI Profile for Hitman Absolution in the 306.97 or does anybody know working SLI compatibility bits for Hitman (or can point me in the right direction) ?
At the moment I have to switch the Driver between 310.61 and 306.97 if I want to play SWTOR or MWO and Hitman Absolution...and that really sucks
Are your cards factory/manually overclocked? Did you try reducing your clock speeds if so to see if problem goes away? What graphic settings to you use in game?

This is really annoying, I need the 310.xx drivers to play BO2 since 30* locks up the game when it starts.
But I can't play BF3 with these drivers..
So now I have to change drivers multiple times a day. :S

Maybe its just my system, but i tested BF3. 1600x900, full monitor blur, everything on ultra settings, but AA is off and AO is off, runs between 38-60. However, recording gameplay with fraps is really bad, and not recording even tho it runs smooth at times, most of the time its choppy and slowdown. I don't remember this game running like this with the older drivers, so i am going baack to the WHQL ones.
I am running a q6600, 550 4gb ddr2, win7, bf3 ran like great with the older drivers, well the official ones.
But on a side note, i am in the progress of upgrading my CPU to one of the i5 quads.

Yes it happens despite having the most current driver and profiles.

Skyrim + ENB broken with all 310 drivers... ENB may be a game mod but it is extremely popular, so any chance of nV looking into why their recent drivers break it, please?.

Thank you for your response
They are factory overclocked and has some additional overclock on top.
I also tested with GTX 680 standard clocks to check if that's the problem, but SWTOR and MWO are still crashing with 310.61. So I'm quite sure its no overclocking issue.
Game settings are at Max in each game + 4xMSAA and 2xSGSSAA through nVidia Inspector...and I'm playing with 6060x1080@120Hz (Triple-Play) in SWTOR and 1920x1080@120Hz in MWO (Triple Play active in System config but only single Monitor resolution selected ingame, left and right screen go black).
At the moment I have reverted back my system to WHQL to be able to play MWO...if you need more information I can reinstall the 310.61 on Friday.

@MADman MWO crashing happens to everybody, doesn't matter if they are from the green or red team. It's a memory related bug and if you read through the MWO Forums everyone has it at some point. For me in terms of crashes the 31x made no difference to the 30x drivers.

I noticed a problem with these.
When I install the driver and start playing with one monitor It works in BF3/Hitman. But once I switch to 2 monitors (one of them a TV) and then back to one monitor again, the games crashes before I can start playing.
Tested this several times and also tried to install the drivers twice. Now Im back with the latest official drivers and these dont have this problem.

Yep, I know what you mean, I have read the forum there.
But I have freezes (only PC reset works then), not chrashes. And I have them also in SWTOR (more Games I have not tested). The time until freeze is even shorter in SWTOR than in MWO. And I have the same behavior with 310.33, 310.54 and 310.61.
If I use the official WHQL these freezes disappear completely in both games and everything works fine as it should be. So I still believe its a driver issue.

Im having a odd issue with Windows 8 Pro 64bit. When i install these drivers and i reboot i get a black screen and it flickers now and then. I have to go to safe mode and uninstall and install the WHQL nvidia driver to get it working. Anyone know why?

@Nvidia guy's -
I don't know if you are aware, but there seems to be planetside 2 specific issues with this driver when used in SLi.
(It's also made worse by a patch planetside had today, but it happened "every now and again" before the patch)
Basically, with SLi enabled, loading into the game you get Rapid flashing of the graphics, very obvious (Seizures anyone?) - and that turning SLi off seems to fix the issue.
Would be nice to be able to use SLi so hope It's something that either you or sony can fix!
(Note: Using two 680's)

I get flashing graphics sometimes too with only one GTX 680, changing the graphics settings to low then back to medium fixes it temporarily at least.

@Retrolock & lito88:
Running Win8 64 bit Enterprise here and had no problems installing these.
Ran uninstall via control panel, rebooted into safe mode, ran Driver Fusion to clean up nvidia drivers and after restart installed these. Only the graphic drivers as I dont need 3d stuff and physx is already on there. Ticked clean install as always (even after using driver fusion)

Got this three times in the space of a couple hours the other night and I wasn't even gaming, just watching movies! Never got that error since my 8800gt and I've upgraded my card twice since then.

Borderlands 2 with these, 3 player co op TVHM lv. 46, on the way to take on Bunker, one of the guys was using hax so we had unlimited weapon ammo, noticeably better framerate for sure (also using willowengine.ini tweaks).
