jay357 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 This version seems to have great promotion to COD9 but doesn't help with 3dmark points. But it helps my 650M to get a 7.2 win7 WEI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh0gunshin Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I haven't noticed improvements, haven't tried benchmarks yet, but it pushes my WEi 7.3 (650m). This driver also seems necessary to run black ops 2. So far it has been stable, and i haven't had any crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom6561 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I also haven't noticed any huge improvements on what I play although Deus Ex: HR seems to have started crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Nvidia released the next minor update of the R310 driver: Nvidia Geforce 310.61BETAI think it's not worth to post a new thread, this update only solves compatibility problems for Planetside 2 and Hitman: Absolution.My experience with the R310series is great, no crashes or issues so far, hope the WHQL version will be released soon.
