Hi
Is this driver identical to 314.14 by BF3, ie no stutter fixes?
For example 314.09 titan is very smooth, even 314.07 is much better then 314.14.

Great Tomb Raider drivers ManuelG , my compliments to the chef. A gain of 16fps for me and all weird effects seem to now be fixed.
Hugs and kisses all round!.

Yeah, I downloaded the patch and ran the benchmark, then I installed the new drivers and did the same benchmark again.
So for me the drivers alone gained me 16fps.

Hm i didnt see any real difference with TressFX on heh, i had to disable high precision and shadows back to normal (new option, ultra) and then i saw a gain from avg 42fps to avg 55fps.
also this new patch didnt fix it much, there is still clipping and now its sticking out of her neck like by Alice xD
Guess that invisible hump was there for a reason

didnt change much for me aswell. it did increase the minimum a bit with the movie bits. still 20fps at times. so i capped it to 30fps with inspector again.
but i cant expect anything with this 2 year old card tbh

Going to install ASAP, maybe now I can actually play it without system freeze.

I've hadn't tried Tomb Raider yet as I was curious as to whether these drivers had the same performance issue with Dead Island as the v314.14 betas. Sure enough, they do... the game runs abysmal with a framerate of 35 fps and really, really stuttery movement. My GPUs have 10-15% usage between them and barely scrape 48 C. Yet this game works perfectly with the v314.07 WHQL drivers and the game runs at 60 fps with exactly the same settings (maxed out, 1920x1200 with 8xCSAA forced in the driver using the 0x10C1 flag).
Could someone else check this out for me please to verify it isn't something specific to my machine? Dead Island: Riptide is out next month and uses the same engine I believe so it doesn't bode well for its performance if the v314.14+ drivers have broken performance with the engine.
Thanks.

I got curious because he has even older gpu then we two. Unless he plays with few settings off or lower..
Edit: I saw in another thread he uses all on high..
@Major Melchett
New shadow option on ultra too, and what about high precision on or off?
As for BF3, they're better then 314.14, but 314.09 is still no1 driver atm.

I run with 1080p, 16xAF (High quality/clamped via drivers), FXAA and ultra settings in game. The only setting I don't use is tressfx, I don't use it because it's just weird when everyone else has normal hair and Lara has fancy hair (and I want to maintain my FPS).
Bare in mind that despite the fact my GPU is older, with the overclock I have it's as fast as (actually a fraction faster than) a stock GTX 580 and has the same amount of memory - a GTX 480 with an overclock of 830/1660/4000 matches a GTX 580.

TessFX on / off
So much FPS drops with it enabled.
however it grew on me, so without it looks absolutely crap

At what gpu OC is that? 900mhz?
@Major
Ah ok that explains it, with TressFX off i get avg 68fps rest maxed (new shadow option ultra, high precision on)@FXAA,
I also force 16xaf via driver and trilinear ingame ^^
I guess Gf110 just cant handle all that compute power, unless i tone down few settings, like SSAO, DOF and that high precision off and new shadow option back to normal.

There is this lens flare bug again..
Sometimes it appears, sometimes it doesnt (testing in benchmark), alt+enter fixes it for good. Alt+enter and back to fullscreen makes that weird slowdown bug - tressFX on.
Idk its either new patch or this driver fault.

Tomb Raider with this driver now run smooth with SSAA4x but with ULTRA Shadow i lose about 15-18 fps than Medium Shadow....maybe we must wait some time for play this game very well with all high details.
Another thing...
SC2 HoTS have some problem with GPU's Usage...sometime it fall to 20-24% in both GPUs. Please investigate about this...
