Nvidia GeForce 337.50 BETA Released On Monday
Nvidia will release a new GeForce driver tomorrow, Monday Apr 07th. Now this will be a DirectX optimized driver, well CPU overhead lowering driver so to say. So make no mistake and do not confuse it with the DX12 release versus low-level API access. Nvidia listed a bunch of games in the driver release, all CPU limited titles. The driver should help out SLI users though,w here CPU limitation is a more common thing.
In Multi GPU mode the performance increases as such should be more substantial. Here's an overview of what you may expect tomorrow with the driver release:

Doesn't look like it's just DX11. That Skyrim boost is so large and it's DX9 game.

Crysis you bloody tease :p
Nice set of increases, hopefully this will only get better.
edit
Any more info on this? Does it help with ghosting/convergence issues that some games have?

Yes but look at the bigger picture,
Batman AO uses U3E
Hitman A, TR uses Glacier2 engine
F1 using EGO engine, Grid2, Dirt3, etc..
Totalwar2 is a RTS example,
Skyrim RTP example and dx9 code with speedups..
^
both with big fps boost cause of those extra direct draw, cbSet, vertex and index buffers, all extra ~300% more compared to 335..
*Skyrim looks around the same as Starswarm and starSwarm bench got ~15fps boost if im not mistaken.
EDIT: RedFaction Armageddon is another very interesting example, game engine has stalling issues by collapsing buildings (gpu usage drops), maybe those extra buffers will help as well, will test this one too.
So anyway, where is the link?

Arma games and DayZ should see improvements on this driver, shouldn't they?

I wonder if this can fix Diablo 3's broken control panel Vsync, RoS broke it so here's hoping

I think since the news came out about the next 337 would have all these improvements, they just wanted to let us know the exact date it would be, so people don't keep on asking when it is going to be released.
Whats the point of this thread? And why not just release the drivers, instead of holding back a few days, it's silly.

So this is the so-called wonder driver ? Well i dont see something regarding AC4. Thus i will try in AC4.
If they say bla bla, more DX11 performance, this means increase in all DX11 games.
I am sure of this, that list of games is probably the "default" games titles that nvidia uses to test it, and make a changelog.

Is it only DX11? So DX9 games like Diablo III won't see improvements?
