That's some serious performance increase 0_0

nice, thnx

I find it crazy that only after a few months of the card being released do we see good performance increases. Still, I can imagine how hard it is to make optimized drivers

a few months? hasn't the GTX 580 been out for a while?


also, DANG some major increase in performance:D

To me, all this says is that Nvidia cards had some major issues with Dragon Age 2 or vice versa, and now Nvidia is addressing those problems. The performance increases for everything else look pretty normal except for maybe Just Cause 2.

It's about fucking time.


I've been on the 263.09's since I got my damn 570.

11

But, did you NEED an update? nope. : ]

12

Yeah. I did.


Badly.


I was tired of the shit 266 drivers crashing every time I played a game for longer than 30 minutes, so I had to go to safemode and run driver sweeper reinstall 263.09 every single time one of the shitty drivers decided it didn't like being installed. (I tried every beta as well)


Though the 270 whql drivers are looking pretty good so far, just played Portal 2 for about 3 hours earlier and didn't have a single problem.
