Read more.Up to a 37 per cent frame rate boost playing in Far Cry 3 in 1080p.
Anyone know at what resolutions these improvements are obtained? I dont see reference to a specific res but I'm guessing it'll only be noticed amongst the "low resolutions" of 1920x1080?
I'm running 2560x1440 and more recently across three screens at 5760x1440?
Thanks
These drivers are getting better and better just like AMD's
I dont mean to rain on the parade, but i installed these drivers today and it made my screen look washed out. I reverted to previous version and the vibrancy is back. Just wondered if anyone else noticed a similar issue.
I've read these boosts are based around using the TXAA over MSAA and FXAA, so it maybe headline grabbing to an extent, but it's a good idea as it benefits everybody pushing new, more efficient tech.
Do you use any colour calibration? Installing new drivers resets my profiles provided by my Spyder, so needs a recal.Originally Posted by jamesv1000
Also new beta drivers (like these) from AMD, not that Hexus would usually make a news release for them

Are you implying Hexus is biased towards Nvidia? I'm sure I read a Hexus article about AMD 'never settle' beta drivers not that long ago. Apologies if that wasn't your intention.Also new beta drivers (like these) from AMD, not that Hexus would usually make a news release for them
And yet there is no article about this AMD beta which came out at around the same time as nVidia's beta and similarly offers many performance improvements..
Let's just say that sometimes they need a bit of reminding when it comes to AMD driver news. Whether that's because nVidia send them the press releases and AMD don't I don't know. As a consumer who gets a lot of his heads up from articles like this from Hexus I'd rather get information about both sides promptly - if Hexus is to be that kind of site for consumers like me (who runs both an AMD and an nVidia based computer).
Just so you know you have linked 12.11 beta stuff, the hexus never settle article is about 12.11 beta. So they have done what you said they haven't. Might want to calm down a bit...
*sigh* this is an entirely different beta to the never settle driver. Just like it's an entirely different nVidia beta to the last one. This is beta11 from AMD, as mentioned in the notes, it contains quite a few new changes and performance improvements.
Guru3D actually tested the new AMD drivers with Far Cry 3:

Also,the Nvidia release notes are strange as the 310.64 Beta release drivers actually were meant to produce big performance increases in Far Cry3.
However,they do not compare 310.70 to 310.64 it seems.
The benchmarks were done at 1920x1080 if you scroll down to the results and benchmark setting section on the link down below it will tell you everything you want to know as for the set up

Improvements are more likely to be noticed at higher resolutions, this is where the GPU is under most stress.
Wouldn't 3 screens be 7680x1440?
Increases my performance with far cry 3, so all in and I'm a happy camper!
Still havn't fixed the issue where it resets your color setting in the nvidia panel though :/
Better and better but at the same time old bugs still not fixed.
My colors on my screen still reset every time I restart the computer and when I launch full screen games.
Where are Gtx660 & Gtx650ti benchmarks???
