Λίγο off-topic ερώτηση: Εγώ που χρησιμοποιώ την 250gts μόνο για physics, έχει νόημα να βάζω καινούργιους drivers?

Αν έχει νέα physx drivers η profiles λογικά ναι.

Οι Drivers που ποσταρε ο Αρχαγγελος με τα FIXES που φερνουν στο BF3.

[Grisos]

Παιδάκια καλησπέρα! Παρατήρησα εχθές πως τα Windows 7 μου βαθμολογούσαν τα γραφικά 6.5 και πραγματικα κρατήθηκα να μη σκασω στα γέλια. Μάλλον οφείλεται στο ότι έχω τους beta drivers της Nvidia. Με τους official μου έβγαζε συνολική βαθμολογία 7.6 και τώρα βγάζει 6.9. Σίγουρα δεν έχει θέμα η 570 διότι το BF3 το χω λειώσει και τα έχω ολα Ultra χωρίς ΗΒΑΟ σε 1920x1200 και παίζει αέρα. Το έχει παρατηρήσει κάποιος άλλος;

[takis-pa]

Εγω φιλε μου οτι ειχα εχω και ειμαι με τους beta drivers.

[denz]

Επειδή η τελευταία Nvidia κάρτα που είχα ήταν μια 7600GT, ποιος είναι ο σωστός τρόπος να περάσω νέους drivers;

[FrOsT]

Εγώ κάνω απλά εγκατάσταση και αυτοί ξηλώνουν μόνοι τους τους προηγούμενος και μετά μπαίνουν.

Επιτέλους.

[Grisos]

Λίγο ετεροχρονισμένα αλλά με τους νέους drivers είστε ευχαριστημένοι στο BF3. Συμφωνώ ότι έχει καλύτερα frames συνολικά αλλά έχω παρατηρήσει περίεργα fractals κυρίως σε Firestorm,Kharg. Επιπλεον στη Metro γινεται party με textures να ανβοσβήνουν,ντουλάπες και τοίχοι αόρατοι (με bulletholes να αιουρούνται ) and so on. Να σημειώσω ότι η θερμοκρασία μέσω MSI Afterburner είναι σταθερα στα 70 σε full load και με τους ακριβώς προηγούμενους drivers (285.62) δεν έχω κανένα απολύτως πρόβλημα. Θα μου πεις γτ τότες σκοτίζεσαι? Απλά για τα παραπάνω fps που όντως κάνουν τη διαφορά.

ΥΓ: Α απλα να πω οτι είτε το τρέχω σε High είτε σε Ultra το ίδιο και το αυτό. Όλα on εκτός απο differed που είναι disabled και motion blur off
