Really? i only have 8 GB though.

geez...

There are a few white papers advocating ECC even for consumer systems. By DDR4 it really should have been a standard. There's no reason for ECC memory to cost SO MUCH more either.

I'm no memory expert, but I don't quite understand how we'd get 16GB DDR4 sticks without ECC. Though seems to be there will be 16GB sticks eventually, but I thought above 8GB for non-ECC it's messy. 

And we better. I'm tired of being limited to 16GB for itx systems. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

Good stuff from Nvidia. Dragon age inquisition, alien isolation, grid and the crew are already pretty well optimized. But the improvements to far cry 4 and assasins creed unity are always welcome...

I love driver updates. I my old gtx 680 has improved up to 40% on some games since launch. I just downloaded the new driver.

Love cats and Linus. Check out linuscattips-fan-club. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Z9QDVn and Asus ROG Swift. I love anime as well. Check out Heaven Society heaven-society. My own personal giveaway thread http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/387856-evga-geforce-gtx-970-giveaway-presented-by-grimneo/.

*plot twist* Nvidia releases broken driver to punish users who discovered or complained about the 970 issue.

You don't need sticks that large, just 16GB of total memory. It's just the nature of memory circuits. Also, we have 16GB sticks incoming. The server people are getting test wanting 32GB sticks as well for boards supporting up to 128GB and beyond.

If anyone thinks their going to get those improvements in the real world, you're going to be disappointed.

 

 

Basically this.

 

Even if you got the full benefit of these performance improvements, it amounts to like 5 FPS tops.  It's completely intangible.  

 

 

 

This is so incorrect its not even funny. TechPowerUp did an article on this and over a year (which is pretty much as long as you will get performance updating drivers for) AMD cards went up on average of like 4.5% and nvidia cards 5.2% or something like that.

 

 

The real improvements come from Game Devs fixing their shitty port jobs a few months after release.

 

 

Call of Duty Ghosts immediately springs to mind.

Well I just tried to update a 2nd machine with the new drivers and Nvidia is down.  Maybe they are tweaking some things that were buggering things up for people doing certain things while playing Evolve?  Eh anyway.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

The improvement will come when game engine devs go back to college and take a high performance computing and parallel algorithms class or let those of us who have demolish and rebuild their work. You'd be shocked what a little use of #pragma omp parallel will do, both for Intel and AMD CPUs. You can even use #pragma omp offload target to send code straight to the GPU without having to write an OpenCL Kernel and whatnot, both for dedicated and integrated GPUs, both AMD and Intel (Nvidia is being particularly stubborn about not working with Intel on it).

 

If anyone EVER claims it's difficult to optimize the C++ side of things, show them this little page first. http://bisqwit.iki.fi/story/howto/openmp/

Then, if there is still a performance problem, it's an algorithm problem they need to go back to ground 0 on and rethink.

Geforce Experience is the best. 

when it works, and that happens rarely :D

 

Gaming evolved is better, plus you gain some points and you can get a game, or GPU, for example R9 260x for some points.  

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

I've only ever had GeForce experience problems once, and the laptop had hardware issues anyway.

Meanwhile, AMD last driver dated 2 months ago.  :ph34r:

 

Friend's went nuts when he can't use GE after the update but Nvidia fixed it pretty quickly.

I hope the devs of Evolve expedite SLI compatibility. What I'm saying is I hope there to be an even newer driver soon.

 

Can't take much more of playing at 1080p (4k monitor) so I can achieve 60+fps.

That's because there is nothing to be "fixed". Nvidia screwd up 9xx series, fucked up 970 and 960 and now they need as air good driver LOL

 

and on every new driver they write that there is 10% 15% increment, WTF you believe? on 6-7 ths driver there must be 50% better performance but there is no. That's all in your head NVIDIA fans LOL

How is the 960 screwed up? It's a full GM 206 core. It's only meant for 1080p high or 1440p medium gaming. We still have the 960TI and 965TI inbound (one will have a 192-bit bus). I still run my school machine on a 570 so it's not my concern, but your comment smells of BS for at leas this part.

Max fps thats what I was thinking aswell.....wonder if any other games show significant improvements.. I assume they would!

 

Want to try these out aswell, if they hurry up and fix that error.

Someone with older cards like 700 series should try and see if it helps those cards aswell would be intresting to see results.....

Here are some results with average, minimum and maximum framerates.

I did these benchmarks while casually playing The Forest. I have a PNY XLR8 Performance Edition GTX 750 TI, the fastest GTX 750 TI @ 1333 Mhz. Settings were 1920x1080 Ultra Maximum settings. I chose to play The Forest because it was the most graphically intensive game I have that doesn't max out VRAM. I am running an I7-3770 with 16 GB RAM and Kingston V300 SSD, so all bottlenecks are on the graphic card.

I took 13 one minute long samples over the course of an hour.

This was actually pretty interesting, I wonder if all driver updates affect performance that much, or if it's just that The Forest got a bigger than average boost. Some websites online said that for a sample size of 14 out of 60 minutes, the margin of error could be up to 20%. Even then, minimum framerates improved beyond doubt.

I am conducting some polls regarding your opinion of large technology companies. I would appreciate your response.

I'm using this data to judge this site's biases so people can post in a more objective way.

Average Maximum framerate increased by 4.6, or +13.5%.

This was actually pretty interesting, I wonder if all driver updates affect performance that much, or if it's just that The Forest got a bigger than average boost. Some websites online said that for a sample size of 14 out of 60 minutes, the margin of error could be up to 20%. Even then, minimum framerates improved beyond doubt.

it really made an effect? Cause usually they are really exaggerating or flat out bullshitting when they say X performance improvement. 

 

Interesting. 

muh specs

Interesting. 

They normally give the numbers on big AAA games that probably are already optimized, but since The Forest is based off the Unity engine, mainly used by small/indy devs, they probably just got around to optimizing Unity better. I can't be sure though, just speculation. I'll probably do benchmarks for the next driver too, so we'll see then.

I am conducting some polls regarding your opinion of large technology companies. I would appreciate your response.

That's because there is nothing to be "fixed". Nvidia screwd up 9xx series, fucked up 970 and 960 and now they need as air good driver LOL

 

and on every new driver they write that there is 10% 15% increment, WTF you believe? on 6-7 ths driver there must be 50% better performance but there is no. That's all in your head NVIDIA fans LOL

 

Okay then. Chill out. No need to turn this into another war. AMD does exactly the same thing with their driver updates.

 

The increments are for specific games... and sometimes there can be a noticeable effect. Other times it's basically not noticeable.

Well, it appears to be downloading the driver now. Going to try to install.

 

Hope it isn't still broken.

when it works, and that happens rarely :D

Gaming evolved is better, plus you gain some points and you can get a game, or GPU, for example R9 260x for some points.

There are plenty of people that have zero issues with GF Experience. Of course it will have some issues, since it's in beta. Atleast NVidia had the balls to develop and release its own software and it's not relying on 3rd party.

Don't kid yourself. AAA games are most certainly not optimized much on PC.
