Download GeForce 310.70 WHQL Candidate Driver

Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/04/2012 04:30 PM | Source | 546 comment(s) ]

GeForce 310.70 drivers are now available to download. The culmination of our recent beta releases, these WHQL-candidate 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.

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.

Download and we have a discussion thread open on these drivers right here.

“Changes and Fixed Issues in Version 310.70” on page 10

it's actually a click-able link within the PDF. Can't get much easier than this.


I was going by the main page notes which were linked in the OP, which do not state it clearly.

I don't think a WHQL driver based on a previous beta is making a game looking any better.


And this driver is not even WHQL, yet.

Hopefully they are waiting on the magic fix for Borderlands 2 before going WHQL. The game is utterly broken still almost 3 months in. That and hopefully they admit they used a GTX 460 for their 680/PhysX showcase before the game released.

Can anyone with AC3 confirm if it fixes clothing textures? That is the only thing I was getting flickering on, never noticed anything on shadows.

I doubt this game will ever be fixed, Gearbox sold this game on hype, and we all fell for it. Has there ever been an official statement from the developer that any magic fix was in the works?

It's possible they're already awaiting certification, though it's somewhat rare for Nvidia to re-release the same driver version as WHQL.

Shadow flickering was visible only with SLi setup. Going to give these a spin.

I thought people were complaining of snow flickering with SLI. Separate issue, or the same?

No English only release? Thought the US site hosted English only and UK hosted International, same for the 310.54 driver that only had an International release?

I tried replacing "international" with "english" in download link, didn't work.

So, if you don't play those few games listed....any reason at all to bother installing these?

US site has been hosting international version for a while now.
