I tried this driver with my 460 Hawk.
Until now the 306.xx Driver was the best for me to play XCom, Diablo 3, Day-Z and Guildwars 2.
The 310 Series was not playable, the FPS just suck hard.
But this driver works now good at Guildwars 2 like the 306 Driver. Diablo 3 i think i loose a bit FPS
Looks like its a good Geforce 400 Series driver.

I'm surprised nobody commented that they added the Quadro and Tesla hardware ID's to this desktop driver. Including the Tesla K20x which is what the rumored TITAN is based on....
Let the rumor mill begin.

Driver doesn't fix 3Dmark (13) low score issues with 3 cards or more.
However else it seems fine.

GeForce driver .inf has supported Quadro cards for a while now. They're unified after all.

"I have a feeling a new driver will come out this Monday 2/18/2012 before crysis 3 hits the store shelves and digital downloads." check the 313.96 driver thread.

FXAA didn't help. The glow, motion blur, BlurShutterSpeed all attributed to Crisys 2 being blurry.
I hope they aren't going to again cover crap textures with blur on the PC to compensate for this being a lazy port, again.
LOLOLOL
No sorry.
Crysis 2 uses 2 forms of AA.
The first form was temporal super sampling that worked for distance objects in cooperation with the motionblur. And the second was PP AA like FXAA for near objects. And then you add in post processing effects like Depth of Field and film grain. AND YEAH.
ALL THE WHILE, the game gave you the option for an inferior sharper filter for PP AA or the option to disable POSTAA entirely.
Crysis 2 may have had a botched launch,(And subsequent murdering of the MP mode as more updates came) but after the DX11 patch and maldo's texture patch. The game blows away Crysis 1 and C2 on consoles by miles.

Got a 0x8000000000000002 BSOD related to some Nvidia file, was playing Battlefield 3 multiplayer.
If it happens again I'll just go back to 310.90 WHQL.

The power of the system doing what?
For example, 3DMark gives a bonus to SB-E versus IB just for having more cores. What does that mean for gaming? Nothing. A 3770k routinely beats a 3970x in games.
I don't run 3DMark for a high score so that I can do video encoding. It's a pointless test.
The power of a system as a benchmark. This benchmark and games are not one in the same and I agreed with you.
But to say 3Dmark is worthless, is like saying games are worthless to others.
I run 3Dmark, but I don't obsess over it. I mostly worry about how my games perform.
I also never said you ran 3dmark for video encoding. If you don't want to bench then don't. Some people like to do it, and it's harmless.

Multiple driver crashes in Crysis 3, back to quadro 311.15 and all is well.

Just because a driver shows a slight loss in 3dmark doesn't mean every game is going to as well. I quit using 3dmark years ago unless I want a quick and dirty benchmark I can compare to other systems. As far as testing each driver with it, nope.

I never said anything about a driver and 3dmark. I commented on someone saying 3dmark means nothing for gaming, and I agreed, but they also said 3dmark should just go away, and I said why it should not.
I have no idea why you claim I said something about a driver when i never did.
I dont use 3dmark to game or judge my system for gaming, I run 3dmark to run 3dmark as a benchmark, not for games.
That was my whole point. It's a benchmark not a game. It's not even comparable to games.
So to say 3dmark should go away is kinda pointless when people are talking about gaming, as it has nothing to do with it at all.

3dmark is great for system building a tweaking. It gives a fixed benchmark that everyone gets (with approved drivers) so you can compare like for like. For comparing setups with similar and indeed differing builds to see what and where to change your own nothing is quite a good imo.
Its also up there with superpi for stability and heat testing
