Here is the link showing pics (sort of reminds me of Catalyst install process). The link in that post is dead so try the following:
here

for now. Make sure you scan them before opening them. I think this is 64bit only.

"Dynamic Tiling" option new in the control panel: Nvidia Recommended, Off, Safe, and Unsafe. Also this driver update will add a process called NvXDSync.exe.

those are the reviewer drivers for nvidia's upcoming card next week

kenkickr · Sep 8, 2010

In the package content list it looks like there is some new Physx software included as well.

paulharrison123 · Sep 8, 2010

Certainly is and its given an almighty boost and fixed loads of the BC2 issues

wooohooo

overclocking101 · Sep 8, 2010

whats this new card you speak of? dual GPU?

phanbuey · Sep 8, 2010

sweeet! Will be nice to see if this can improve performance a bit.

Solaris17 · Sep 8, 2010

i like this.its about time they changed the installer menu.

VulkanBros · Sep 8, 2010

Nice...included a "Perform clean install" option

VulkanBros · Sep 8, 2010

This is cool stuff ..... tried it with Metro 2033 ... great performance and stable - well for 10 minutes now :rolleyes:

We've been seeing all these GTS450 details surfacing, that would be my guess.

Athlon2K15 · Sep 8, 2010

I wanna see the 512 shader card already enough of the low-end poop

overclocking101 · Sep 8, 2010

im with athlon on this! seriously with the performance of the gts450 being a serious let down they need to bring out the big guns. sadly they will wait untill the hd6XXX cards launch to release the 475/485/490/5

MxPhenom 216 · Sep 8, 2010

yeah if this driver gets put up onto nvidia's site then i will install it. till then ill sit with my 258.96 drivers

overclocking101 · Sep 8, 2010

installed. seems stable but it no longer displys my vddc phase temps in gpu-z with this driver

PVTCaboose1337 · Sep 8, 2010

Running this on a GT120. I loved the new installer design. Finally it gets updated! Anyway, seems to be a pretty good boost in SC2. I am getting a 15% increase in FPS surprisingly. I am updating from 258.96.

MxPhenom 216 · Sep 8, 2010

why havent nvidia been putting their drivers up on their site?? :rolleyes:

what are you talking about? these drivers are leaked reviewers drivers...:shadedshu

overclocking101 · Sep 9, 2010

nvidia will release these probably soon after the 450 launch i hope they keep the new interface and that isnt a reviewer exclusive

phanbuey · Sep 9, 2010

theyre already asking people to take down the links... so it looks like this one isnt cooked yet... but those also tend to be the best drivers too.

PVTCaboose1337 · Sep 9, 2010

I'll put up a torrent with the drivers when I get a chance. Looks like lots of the links above are getting taken down.

EDIT: Done. http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/2377044/?rel=1283990993

EDIT2: Seems to have been removed. Must have broken a rule or something. Too lazy to choose another tracker (unless someone here cares).

MxPhenom 216 · Sep 9, 2010

isnt the 450 being released next week??

Corduroy_Jr · Sep 10, 2010

these new drivers are they any good and worth the download

They are pretty good for Mafia II I have found. I gained on average 4fps with my GTX470. The game felt smoother but it’s quite possible that this is a placebo affect.

Temperatures are identical to my previous drivers.

One important thing though is I am not longer getting ramdom black screens whilst gaming (no restart and the game comes back after a couple of seconds). This has happened both with my GTX470 and my 'old' GTX460 running the 258 drivers.
