NVIDIA Posts WHQL-Signed GeForce 310.70 Drivers

btarunr · Dec 18, 2012

NVIDIA released the GeForce 310.70 WHQL software suite, which isn't much more than a WHQL-signed version of the GeForce 310.70 beta drivers posted a couple of weeks ago. Available for 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP, the drivers, much like the 310.70 beta, are a cumulative of several R310 beta releases from over the past two months. They add significant performance increases over the previous 306.97 WHQL drivers.

Pretty solid drivers. Assassins Creed 3 is running even smoother now!

silapakorn · Dec 18, 2012

WTF? AC3 SLI is still not recommended!

I disagree that non WHQL are per definition beta drivers.

They are per-definition beta/alpha/pre-alpha drivers.

erixx · Dec 18, 2012

I think the developers must say if it is or not beta. It has always been like that. MS certification is added value but not the end of all ends. I think this is not my opinion, but how things have been and are. Personal Computers (PC) are one thing and MS is another, although now we are "drilled" to say things like "Games for windows" instead of "PC game", etc... Applelization at it's best... : )

WHQL 310.70 is 160mb vs BETA 310.70 200mb+

Why???

Why???

Make sure that it's the same version.
Those links on the OP is US version, so 160MB WHQL is US version and probably your 200MB+ BETA 310.70 is UK/international version.

I always use UK/international drivers version, and 310.70 WHQL international size is 210.47 MB (international 310.70 BETA is 209.99 MB)

MicroUnC · Dec 18, 2012

I've installed the 160mb one. Everything is fine. Noticed performance increase with SLI in FC3, since 310.70 beta.

Nop. They are not. Want an example? GeForce 301.34 drivers.

No WHQL or Beta either.

Are there any changes from the beta aside from the WHQL signatures?

Why is Chronicles of Riddick tested?

Hilux SSRG · Dec 18, 2012

I'm going to try these on the free copy of Metro 2033 I received from THQ's facebook page.

Because everyone loves Vin Diesel and his Oscar level performances??..........honestly I don't F@#king know.

All I know is these new drivers are the tits!

Fluffmeister · Dec 18, 2012

Doesn't Riddick use an OpenGL based engine? If so it's good see that getting some love too.

But yes, these drivers and indeed very nice so far.

Now if you want to go into worse movies then pacifier would be on the top of that list. He also was in saving private ryan though

NC37 · Dec 18, 2012

I dunno about these. Had a hard crash in BF3. Prior drivers had been very stable. Turned up my case fans the next time and it seemed to be fine but I wonder if they're causing this.

Different in-game settings :

680 :

Battlefield 3: Performance increased by 13% at 1920x1080 when using Ultra settings in a single-player Paris benchmark; at 2560x1600 an improvement of 7.9% was recorded. Using High settings, an improvement of 15.3% was registered at 1920x1080.

660 :

Battlefield 3: Performance increased by 9.8% at 1920x1080 when using High settings in a single-player Paris benchmark; at 1680x1050 an improvement of 10.3% was recorded. Using Ultra settings, improvements of 8.1% and 7.7% were recorded at 1680x1050 and 1920x1080, respectively.

yeah, I did not crash BF3 but found the game stuttering, particularly when scoped.
