Ooh, cheers White!
Will test.... On the weekend

Thanks.

Thanks a lot, will report back with findings.

Edit:
Deadlight and Remember Me now work perfectly.

driver no problem .

Does Remember Me and Deadlight, both Unreal Engine 3 games, still crash with these drivers like with the previous two 326.xx drivers please as that is the reason I reverted to the older 320.49 drivers which have been fine (Deadlight works perfectly). However, if these drivers have the UE3 fix then I will certainly install these.

I'd be grateful if anyone with either of those games and a Kepler GPU would test them. Thanks in advance.

*EDIT*
Ah, forget it, I just spotted SSJBillClinton post... thanks for that, pal. Also, thanks to White Lightning for posting the links. Looks like I will be installing these later then.

*EDIT 2*
Does anyone have a link for the International (English UK) 64-bit Windows 8 driver please?

Found it!

Thanks Lightning.

Downloading now and will test tonight when I get home on Windows 8 64bit.

still with the hdmi overbrightness bug.

still have to use the rgb tool to fix it.

Aaaaah finally Sniper Elite V2 is no longer crashing on whatever the settings ingame.

#4628384 Posted on: 07/30/2013 02:36 PM

Nazi Zombie Army (and I assume Sniper Elite V2) still freezing randomly.

Edit:

Sniper Elite V2 only froze up on me after about 2 hours of play in MP, NZA is a lot more prone to freezing (5mins - 40 mins), I assume because of there's a lot more stuff going on.
OC or not it's the same for me as the last 2 drivers, don't be too quick to celebrate!

#4628385 Posted on: 07/30/2013 02:37 PM

Does the benchmark also freeze for you ? (SniperEliteV2)

#4628386 Posted on: 07/30/2013 02:42 PM

Nope.

#4628387 Posted on: 07/30/2013 02:42 PM

Remember Me works for me, I don't have Deadlight yet but you may want to give it a try. BF3 black edges fix also seems fine. Best 320 driver so far

So one person says they're fixed and you say they aren't? I guess it's up to me to swing the vote then?

Personally, I haven't any problems with either game (or Aliens vs. Predator , which is from the same developer and using the same engine) since the v320.18 drivers (I believe, which contained the fix for the Advanced Shadows freezing bug). That said, I admit that I haven't really played any of those games for more than an hour in several weeks, although I did play through AvP for over three hours with the 320.18 drivers, again with Advanced Shadows enabled and it worked perfectly.

So unless NVIDIA have broken the games again going from the r319 to the r325 branch then I'm hoping those are still OK for me. NVIDIA did break several Unreal Engine 3 games (apparently fixed in this driver) so it is certainly plausible!!!

@ SSJBillClinton - Do you have Advanced Shadows enabled in Sniper Elite V2? If so then try disabling them and see if that stabilises the game for you.

It does irritate me that NVIDIA produce a PDF release notes file, like they have for these new 326.41 drivers but omit many of the fixes mentioned in that list!!! Surely, they should list all of those otherwise it looks as if they're either not aware of the issues or that they haven't fixed them. Seriously how difficult is it to list as many of the fixes as possible so people know they've been fixed?

Why this one is not avaiable at nvidia.com at beta drivers section?

Thanks

interesting...

Some outstanding bugs still open:
GPU TDRs after 36 hours of idle - Investigating however we believe we may understand the cause

never had the issues with TDRs, but I know others do. I dont leave my machine running 24-7 either though

#4628407 Posted on: 07/30/2013 03:00 PM

Yes, they seem to mainly list game issues and not OS driver issues .
That's why I posted what ManuelG posted as it gave little bit more info .

So one person says they're fixed and you say they aren't? I guess it's up to me to swing the vote then?

snip
Yeah I don't know what to think about this whole thing. I've cleaned out my old drivers before installing these ones, I've ran stock, I've ran OC'd, but NZA still crashes (I don't bother testing SEV2 anymore since it takes too long to crash and I'm impatient!). It doesn't seem to matter what's on the screen, it is truly random as I've had it freeze during a slowmo shot, I've had it freeze mowing down a group of zombies with a thompson, and today I had it freeze just as I opened the safe door to the next area.

That said, it's a different freeze this time. Instead of the screen locking up, shortly going black, and then getting a TDR error, it just freezes right there and it will stay frozen forever until I ctrl+alt+del and bring up task manager. This time I get "Nazi Zombie Army has stopped working", no TDR this time.
I even popped onto Furmark and ran burn in for 15 minutes, no issues at all.

I'm downloading AvP right now and I'll see if I get any issues.

Also yes, I do run it with Advanced Shadows on. I should try NZA without once I'm done having a look at AvP.

Edit:
Oh yeah, forgot if I mentioned in the last driver release thread, but Ghost Recon Future Soldier is also fixed now.

It will be soon.

never had the issues with TDRs, but I know others do. I dont leave my machine running 24-7 either though

I hardly turn off my machine and have never got a TDR, so clearly this issue is affecting a certain configuration of select individuals, as it is not widespread.

Edit:
Oh yeah, forgot if I mentioned in the last driver release thread, but Ghost Recon Future Soldier is also fixed now.

Firstly, I was able to complete the level of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier I was on a few weeks (and a couple of driver versions) back despite it previously always crashing at the helicopter extraction point of the mission I was playing (Noble Tempest). I have not played the game since though but maybe I just got lucky? It *always* used to crash at that point though with the earlier v320.xx drivers, whether it took me a few minutes to reach the extraction or 30 minutes.

As for Sniper Elite V2/NZA/AvP - all those games used to literally freeze within a few minutes, something within a few seconds of resuming a save game but only when Advanced Shadows was enabled. As I said earlier, the issue was fixed for me in the (I think) 320.18 driver as I played through three hours of the AvP campaign with everything enabled (DX11, 1920x1200, 4xMSAA, Advanced Shadows, etc) and didn't have a single crash. I also played an hour of NZA with the 320.39 or 320.49 driver, again with everything maxed out, including Advanced Shadows, and didn't have any problems with it.

I did initially have some driver not responding and has recovered errors when playing some games, including NZA, but it turned out that my +250 MHz memory overclock was too ambitious and the error went away once I dropped it down to stock (+0 MHz). I've set it back at +100 MHz yesterday but I haven't seen a single driver not responding error in three weeks or so. As such I'm pretty confident the driver not responding errors where the result of overclocking my GTX 780's memory too far.
