Re: ATI and NVIDIA released new drivers

Anyone with 8800GT has seen increase in performance with these new drivers ?

I have a 8800GTS and I can't see a difference.

So your system should be fine. Your low FPS is related to your server side or anything you have running in the background related to the internet. Lets see if the R9 update will help you.

There was an issue about false FPS numbers. Do you actually feel the lag? How much memory do you have? Does single player have a higher FPS?

I avg 25-30+ fps in single player. I feel the lag in multi.

Re: ATI and NVIDIA released new drivers

Quick question for all that are savvy in the PC, I am using the latest driver for Nvidia, I am running a 8800GTS 320, AMD X64 Dual Core 2.10Ghz processor and XP SP3, now when I fraps my in game play I am averaging about 12-18 fps, which sucks! I know at bear minimum you want 30 and up, could this driver be causing my lag?

Side note, I am running DX9, low graphic settings and headphones for audio, bloom is set to false, AA is off, and my FOV is 75.

No, ATI is still at 10.3 and NVidia at 72.3something

Ive heard ATI has a patch for some issue, but I dont know if it was released.

UPDATE: Scinto posted the ATI thing:

Re: ATI and NVIDIA released new drivers

Has Nvidia come out with a (fixed) newer update than the one released when this thread was written?

Nvidia is going downhill.

Good thing I went ATI

Re: ATI and NVIDIA released new drivers

Im surprisd everyone is having all these issues. Nvidia went through this huge process after the last problem with their other drivers. I dont know what ATIs deal is. I left them years ago because their drivers were always crap. I mean, to have the SLI issues after this patch is suppose to improve that very function.

When I update my video drivers, I usually uninstall everything first then install all the new stuff. I even uninstall the nvidia tools. I do not run SLI and I dont really adjust too many settings other than fan speeds.

If you are not having issues, it sounds like you should wait until the next release.

Re: ATI and NVIDIA released new drivers

I think I will pass on this driver update.

Yeah, I wish I had tested it before letting my clan know about it. I'm almost always the guy with the news in my clan, so they all followed my links to the latest drivers. At least I saved them from the ones that made certain cards practically catch fire!

Re: ATI and NVIDIA released new drivers

This isn't even funny. Out of the 8 people in my clan that I talked to last night, 5 of us have Nvidia and 3 ATI. ALL of us had one new problem or another since installing the new drivers. I have my strange issue, two guys don't have SLI anymore, ATI guys still have long load times in anything but DX9, one guy with a 4870 is having hard locks while playing.

Fun times.

I think I will pass on this driver update.

In case you haven't been reading, ATI's drivers have been causing issues with BFBC2 as well.
