The 270. beta drivers caused serious problems in my computer, most games would crash now even though I deleted it completely, my games shutdown immediately if I turn rtss.exe on -.-

Let's just hope that this update will fix my problem and maybe, just maybe it will increase the GTX 460 performance

EDIT:.......what the heck.....a moment ago it was 270.61.....the download was the old driver 266.58....when I checked again it's been removed.

Second EDIT:

The driver searcher in Geforce.com is bugged or something, I went to nVidia main website and downloaded the new drivers from there.

claylomax · Apr 18, 2011, 04:35 PM

Finally ... It takes ages for Nvidia to release WHQL drivers.

Makes you wonder how awful it was running before these drivers arrived...

I've been using the 270.51 betas for a few weeks and i've had no problems at all. Stable across all games for me.

puma99dk| · Apr 18, 2011, 04:47 PM

I was downloading from US link and it was still slow :/
Either way, it's done now, I'm just not installing it right now.

HammerON · Apr 18, 2011, 11:46 PM

Downloading now (973 KB/sec)

95Viper · Apr 19, 2011, 12:43 AM

Yep, I was using the beta 270.51 and had no troubles in games or anything.
I downloaded this WHQL and will try it later.

Downloaded 64 bit fine for me from here, http://us.download.nvidia.com/Window...glish-whql.exe at 4691.0 KB/s.

Congestion on the servers, maybe, when ya'll tried it.

very high means DX11, and apparently it was pretty much unplayable.

20mmrain · Apr 19, 2011, 04:26 AM

I had no problem with the beta and so far having no problem with these either. I am a ATI guy for the most part.... but besides the nice performance with the GTX 580's I have. I am telling you one other thing I am happy to have back by switching to Nvidia. Good Drivers Again finally!!!!

entropy13 · Apr 19, 2011, 01:38 PM

Just got this. TPU servers are slow for me so I got it straight from Nvidia instead. OpenCL isn't checked for me in GPU-Z though apparently? lol

wolf · Apr 19, 2011, 04:59 PM

anyone with a GTX400 or 500 series card that can confirm some nice gains? hopefully theres a bit to be had across the board.

I'd imagine given a GTX580 / GTX560 TI benefit so much a GTX570 and 460 for example would too.

GENTLEMEN · Apr 19, 2011, 05:44 PM

From 266.xx to 270.61, Dragon Age 2 is now playable at very high for me (before: black triangles running free, messing up my screen)

Flibolito · Apr 20, 2011, 03:24 AM

Good driver so far. Ran Bad Company last night with Vsync OFF and it ran even better that before not it stays over 100FPS virtually all the time. 260.xx series would dip into the low 90s sometimes. Starcraft 2 feels the same and metro 2033 (which I'm almost done with) seems smoother as well.

No crashes or problems.

95Viper · Apr 20, 2011, 09:33 PM

Just a little update, here...

The install choked at the 3d section and would not start again(in that session). But, heh, what is a driver install with out a little drama? Boring!
After, I cleaned out the failed cr*p and re-booted to the standard windows drivers.
The install went smooth and it is doing good... no problems in COH, Crysis, CIV V, or DOW.

I'd imagine given a GTX580 / GTX560 TI benefit so much a GTX570 and 460 for example would too. __________________ “my goal is speed, full ultra, and extreme gaming” -Ephraim “Yeah you can always overclock the 2gb memory to 4gb” -jaredpace

Ran Bad Company last night with Vsync OFF and it ran even better that before not it stays over 100FPS virtually all the time. 260.xx series would dip into the low 90s sometimes. Starcraft 2 feels the same and metro 2033 (which I'm almost done with) seems smoother as well. No crashes or problems.
