Really great to bring features like Adaptive V-Sync and frame rate cap to owners of older cards. Well done nVidia!
FXAA is kind of outdated now though, especially given it's only v1 that's in the control panel. MLAA v2 is slightly better, but SMAA is far superior.

Adaptive V-Sync is awesome. Understanding the different types of AA is OTOH a PITA, it's so confuzzling....

Hexus should write an accurate and comprehensive article on it....Originally Posted by Pleiades
Anti-aliasing has always been a tricky one to explain... even back when there was only one generally used method.

That's why I'm asking for an article from the pros at Hexus rather than suggesting we forumites pile in
There have been some good articles in PC mags over the years, with side by side screenshots and all that and to be completely honest, lately I myself have lost how many different types of AA there are and what are the pros and cons of each. A good article would be a nice read I feel

Ryszard used to talk in some depth about it in his reviews, some 6 years ago: http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphi...00-gtx/?page=6

I've been using the 301.24 beta on my EVGA GTX 580 Superclocked since April. The beta was phenomenal. I can only expect great things from this new update.
Well so far very impressed (GTX570)
Anyone having trouble with this and 301.24? i'm finding that if I have watched a video since rebooting (even through VLC), then the frame rate is significantly reduced when gaming, typically i'd go from 60fps at 70-80%gpu utilisation down to 17fps and 99% utilisation. (but not 99% util temps). Reboot and the problem goes away, drop down to 296.10 and the problem goes away. GTX470
This is a known bug with factory overclocked cards from certain brands (Asus and MSI I believe in particular, Gigabyte cards seem to be OK). The cards underclock themselves to save power (as usual) and never go back up to their normal clocks (hence why max GPU usage but low FPS - the card is being hammered but at a fraction of its power) - which is fixed by a reboot.
NVIDIA have said to revert your card to the would-be factory clocks, but I've heard this doesn't really do anything.
Clocks are reading fine in precision, and i'm not OC'd at all. And it's only video playing, even just a few seconds of it, that causes problems in all games thereafter.
Hmm, in which case I'm out of ideas
Try GPU-Z for a clock speed reading as well just in case though.
Good point, will check that. Nvidia are aware, was hoping .42 would have fixed it, wait and see, rarely watch videos anyway.Hmm, in which case I'm out of ideas
