GeForce 310.70 WHQL Driver Download
Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/18/2012 09:24 AM [ 546 comment(s) ]

Download GeForce 310.70 driver. The culmination of our recent beta releases, these WHQL drivers improve performance by up to 37% in the year's most popular games, add TXAA support to Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Assassin's Creed III, make Sparse Grid Supersampling easier to use, get your system ready for the latest releases, including Far Cry 3, Hitman: Absolution and Planetside 2, and resolve key issues, like shadow flickering in Assassin's Creed III.
We have a discussion thread open on these drivers right here.
In October's GeForce 310.33 beta driver we improved performance by up to 15% in nine games, and this time we’re improving performance by up to 37% in twenty-one games. Leading the charge in 310.70 is a 37% boost for Far Cry 3, followed by a 26% boost for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, an 18% boost for The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, a 17% boost for Assassin’s Creed III, and a 12% boost for Battlefield 3.
Please note that performance improvements benefit all GeForce GTX graphics cards, though obviously to varying degrees. We would of course love to show how our optimizations benefit the entire range of GeForce GTX GPUs, but sadly this is unfeasible given the number of benchmarks required. For example, for each GPU and game you test include a before and after benchmark to show the level of improvement, then multiply the number of tests by the number of resolutions, three, and then again by the number of different detail levels and anti-aliasing modes tested. Then, finally, to verify the results, run everything again to ensure there were no anomalies. With so many GPUs in our lineup, even focusing exclusively on the most popular models would prove impossible in the time between a driver being finalized, and released.
Performance Improvement Benchmarks
In Far Cry 3, we maxed out the game's many graphics options, selected SSAO Ambient Occlusion (an excellent balance between performance and fidelity), set the game's version of Transparency Supersampling to "Standard", and enabled 8xMSAA to eliminate aliased edges.
With 310.70 installed, performance improved by up to 37.8%, helping the GTX 670 and GTX 680 achieve playable frame rates at this highly demanding detail level.
Below, we detail the two-dozen other optimizations packed into the 310.70 drivers, using the GeForce GTX 680 and GeForce GTX 660.

Alright then perhaps Nvidia still has some work to do. I've seen so many people complaining of the same error ever since BF3 was released.

Something isn't right on your side I guess. I did install all drivers since WHQL one on Windows 8 Pro x64 without a single problem.
i still can't get any drivers since the last whql drivers to install on win8 x64. They all crash during install and give me a blue screen saying oops something went wrong. very frustrating. even tried with advanced options to disable driver signing

Bf3 or ac3 still crashing is more likely your psu and factory overclocked cards.
Before I blamed nvidia only, but looos like, while they are squezing every drop of performance from your card, even minor inconsistence from your psu crashes the drivers.
Overvolting your card helps a lot, this one itself leads to psu.

"Battlefield 3: The game should no longer crash to desktop with the message bf3.exe stopped working on GeForce 500 and 600 series GPUs."
Its like a funny joke. They didnt fix the crashing, they just changed the message. So the changelog is accurate. lol.
(I havent tested the drives yet)

I am using a 550 ti, and i am temp to install these drivers, but the 306.97 drivers seem to work best with my card compared to the other ones.
not sure what to do
i know bf3 works like sh** with beta drivers, whereas the 306.97 is smooth as butter. i might install later and so testing tho

Anyone getting constant mini stuttering/lag with these while playing Far Cry 3 even with 60-100fps?
Maybe it's a game problem?

@ Andy B problem solved for the HDAO it just needed a quick boot of the game
Now my question is what do u guys prefer over there @ nvidia HDAO or HBAO in Farcry 3.
I personaly think HBAO looks great a bit more realistic compared to HDAO, but HDAO looks more sharper better textures a bit, mmm choices choices someome help me with this please xD!
I cant figure it out every hour or so i change it to see whats the best game experience.

I used the HDAO in max payne 3, still haven't tried far cry3, but yeah i like the sharpness of hdao.
i suspect the 'high' AO in hitman is hdao.

I've heard that Nvidia made HBAO and AMD made HDAO so I would be surprised if they would prefer HDAO.

I personaly think HBAO looks great a bit more realistic compared to HDAO, but HDAO looks more sharper better textures a bit, mmm choices choices someome help me with this please xD!
I cant figure it out every hour or so i change it to see whats the best game experience.
I've heard that Nvidia made HBAO and AMD made HDAO so I would be surprised if they would prefer HDAO.

No improvements for Need for Speed: Most Wanted?? Funny you CAN get SLI working using the Assasin's Creed 3 SLI profile. This at least gets me 50-60fps!! Without the SLI profile it dips down to 25-35fps in the city areas. Still I feel there is room for improvement, realistically it shouldn't drop below 60fps at all on my system.
Still I'm very surprised Nvidia has done nothing to try to improve performace in this game!!

Submit the crash dumps to nvidia. Disabling driver signing enforcement is unnecessary with unmodified Nvidia drivers (because they are indeed signed).
