Just a reminder, that the new certified Nvidia drivers are out. 

 

 

The new GeForce 320.18 WHQL driver is now available to download. An essential update for gamers jumping into the latest releases, today’s Microsoft-certified driver increases performance by up to 20% in Tomb Raider, 20% in DiRT Showdown, 10% Metro: Last Light, 8% in Assassin’s Creed III, 6% in Far Cry 3, and 5% in BioShock Infinite. Furthermore, compatibility and stability improvements offered at or before the day of release of Dead Island: Riptide, Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter, Metro: Last Light, and Star Trek: The Videogame, are included in today’s WHQL, too, to ensure that gamers who did not download our recent betas have the best experience possible.

 

In addition to all of the above, 320.18 WHQL also includes SLI profiles for Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Dead Island: Riptide, Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, GRID 2, and Remember Me, as well as updated profiles for Natural Selection 2, Resident Evil 6, and TrackMania² Canyon.

 

You can download it through the Driver Page, or GeForce Experience. (included in newest drivers)

Yikes, that might be your card :( I know my 680 does not play well with BF3 or Crysis 3 with any kind of OC past the stock OC set by MSI.

[Fonil]

Wait, people run the certified drivers over the beta ones?

[kuddlesworth9419]

The drivers cause Planetside 2 to crash all the time.

I found that turning off MSAA in BF3 fixes the artifacting issue, even with an overclock.

they didn't fix it (it actually looks like they are kind of ignoring it even), you need to revert back to 314.22 or lower to get rid of it in bf3, for me (using a gtx 470) best driver i found for bf3 was 306.97 because it didn't have artifacting or stuttering (i get stutters with 314.22)

306.97 was just a great driver in general though lol.

Yer it's awesome for most games but it sucks for tomb raider, i still haven't played tomb raider because i need 306.97 for bf 3 xD

I played through tomb raider partially on 306.97 drivers and partially on 314.22,whats the difference?

It kept crashing for me somewhere at the start,although i did see that tomb raider recieved patches to fix nvidia related things so could have been a game issue (I only played it the first week and after that i didn't check it again,gonna reinstall and let it update and see if its fixed :p)

Happens to me I know its not my card its the driver causing a texture and stretching of the ingame meshes. Revert to a older driver and this will go away.

[kuddlesworth9419]

Nvidia obviously doesn't test the drivers much. Planetside 2 crashes constantly with this new driver.

[T0M3Z]

I had this issue in beta, i guess it never got fixed. I reverted back to the last certified driver.
