GeForce 310.70 WHQL Driver Download

Download GeForce 310.70 driver. The culmination of our recent beta releases, these WHQL 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.

We have a discussion thread open on these drivers right here.

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.

Performance Improvement Benchmarks
In Far Cry 3, we maxed out the game's many graphics options, selected SSAO Ambient Occlusion (an excellent balance between performance and fidelity), set the game's version of Transparency Supersampling to "Standard", and enabled 8xMSAA to eliminate aliased edges.

With 310.70 installed, performance improved by up to 37.8%, helping the GTX 670 and GTX 680 achieve playable frame rates at this highly demanding detail level.

Below, we detail the two-dozen other optimizations packed into the 310.70 drivers, using the GeForce GTX 680 and GeForce GTX 660.

    Nice IQ plus card still boosts to 1306mhz, that'll do for now, test games laters as i just got done with a hitman session there before these arrived.

    Release 310 drivers introduce power-optimizing enhancements. As a result of these
    enhancements, you may notice that GPU core clock speeds are different with this driver.
    For example, the GPU core clock might be faster when the GPU is in idle mode than in
    previous drivers. Or you may notice higher GPU core clock speeds after closing or
    opening certain games than in previous drivers.
    This is because the reported GPU core clock frequency is no longer correlated to GPU
    power-saving states. Instead of lowering the GPU core clock frequency, the hardware and
    software use other methods to put the GPU into a low power state when the GPU is idle
    or in response to changing application requirements. This ensures optimum power use
    while continuing to provide high graphics performance.


    Mobile users should read this thoroughly and file a bug report if they actually experience an attestable higher power consumption.
