Download GeForce 310.61 Beta Driver
Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/20/2012 09:43 AM | 217 comment(s) ]
NVIDIA just released a GeForce 310.61 Beta 32/64-bit driver for you to download. 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.

No, Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.
@ Uncle Dude - Sorry, I saw you mention 1 fps and assumed you were talking about the game itself. Ooops, that'll teach me not to read things out of context. /blush
Windows 7 right? not 8?

Does it add anything special for Planetside 2? Any AA or AO flags? What does "improves compatibility" mean exactly? Thanks

Andy, these don't do jack for Hitman absolution. I have a quad sli setup and sorry to say but this is yet another example of you guys doing squat for your high end enthusiast loyalists. Not to mention Borderlands 2. Why isn't there some kind of an official response from nVidia. I have been a long term nVidia user but lately am beginning to get disillusioned.

yes, its the same like 310.54 only improves compatibility in Hitman: Absolution and Planetside 2, and supports a new Black Ops II SLI profile.
Anyone checked if Bf3 still crashes with these like with 310.54?

Good, I don't have aspect ratio issues in SW:TOR with these. I did other stuff too to try to avoid it so I'm not certain if it's the driver, the latest patch for the game or something else but it's fixed.
But... Mass Effect 1 fails to start with 09.12.1031 PhysX. 9.12.0613 is the latest PhysX system software that doesn't make Mass Effect 1 to crash on start.

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...
