VSYNC is still broken when using Nvidia Inspector. Back to 5 months old driver, great job AMVidia.

I can probably believe this as valley is such a retarded benchmark that it sees crazy fluctuations between drivers, I've seen a lot of variance in scores at same clocks with different drivers.

Isn't this just a WHQL of one we've already had in beta? I gotta check my beta version but was installed very recently.

In Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm i still get BLACK CIRCLES around "me" everywhere, so no improvement despite of Geforce optimizations.

Benchmarks are benchmarks. Some are shitty, others are not. Regardless, the validation of this benchmark is that it was done under the exact same conditions thus giving an accurate comparison between the previous beta driver and the WHQL driver. For me I noticed the difference right away in BF4... Things are smoother and the game flow was better and trust me, this did NOT come from EA's patching lol.

Shitty benchmark or not, I like how much better my graphics are now.

HAHA... I'll bet my left nut someone will report you for typing in caps... I myself hate this idiotic sensitivity. I can't hear you screaming at me so why should I care. Are you screaming? I bet not. If anything, I like the fact that I'm reading this clearly ;)

Tried them and I can confirm improvements even on DX9 titles (Skyrim mainly).


Also what's up with the childish behaviour? This is TPU and it has higher standards than other forums so please behave like so, it'll be better for all of us.

Thanks!

Glad you're getting better performance with the latest drivers. I'm actually surprised they work better on my GTX 760's as they are not mentioned in the release notes except for the list of compatible hardware.


As for the childish behavior, it's CAPS. Who cares really. They're just letters my friend.

Don't sweat the small stuff ;)
