Download the GeForce 313.96 Beta driver. This is the recommended GeForce driver for the Crysis 3 Multiplayer Open Beta. It delivers a smoother gaming experience, and boosts SLI performance by up to 65%. EA’s recommended GeForce GPU for Crysis 3 is a GeForce GTX 560 or higher. For the Hi-Performance PC Specification, EA recommends GeForce GTX 680.
Other highlights include sizeable SLI and single-GPU performance gains of up to 27% in Assassin’s Creed III, 19% in Civilization V, 14% in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, 14% in DiRT 3, 11% in Just Cause 2, 10% in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, 10% in F1 2012, and 10% in Far Cry 3.
Rounding out the release is a SLI profile for the newly released DmC: Devil May Cry, and an updated profile for the free-to-play, third-person co-op shooter, Warframe.
GeForce 313.96 drivers fix an installation issue reported with GeForce 313.95 drivers with international (non-English) driver packages.

Vsync option is only for SLI configs I believe.

That new VSync option is for SLI only. I always have VSync enabled anyway as I hate screen tearing. Just done another round and still no issues. Might have to get some munchies in for tonight's gaming.
Farcry 3 runs nice with these as well. I've not tried Borderland 2 but I'm sure everything will be fine there also as I'm yet to experience any problems with the game and everything is maxed out including physics.

For users with install issues with the International version where setup.exe errors out, please provide me with install logs so we can investigate the cause:
Open a Command Prompt window.
-Navigate in the Command Prompt window to the folder where the NVIDIA display driver files were extracted to. For Windows 7 x64 Enlgish for example, it would be:
C:NVIDIADisplayDriver313.95Win8_WinVista_Win7_64
-Run the following command:
setup.exe -log:"C:NVlog" -loglevel:6
-We will need the file generated by the setup installer in the c:
vlog directory. Also, please send us the setupapi log from here:
C:WindowsINFSetupapi.*.log
-Please email these log files to driverfeedback@nvidia.com
Thank you

That's not the problem. The international driver isn't installing.
You have another issue entirely. Installed here and working fine so far.

I didn't test much but my score in Vantage increased a bit. About 1.5k from 22k. No difference in 3dmark11 though

Well you were posting a different problem and assuming you are part of a completely different issue.
Whats your problem? No idea. try reinstalling the driver again, maybe something was corrupted during the install. As a first time user that made the mistake of buying an AMD cpu at least you went with an Nvidia GPU
Yes. It works for me, so it should be working for you.

but it has to do with the beta driver ...
your behavior.
all done, same error.
that was a childish, ridiculous and redundant comment.

By the looks of it it's exactly the opposite. It forces the triple buffering off.

Very stupid things to say... sorry to say.
Anyway I have the same problem with installation, and I never had any in the past with nVidia/AMD setup. I will try and use non-multilanguage version...

A new option seems to be listed in nvidia inspector, "Texture Filtering - Driver Controlled LOD Bias" that seems to be on by default, I assume this controls whether the LOD Bias is automatically adjusted with Antialiasing?
