267.59 for the GTS550 & GTS450 is out. If you have a different card, you will need to mod the inf to install.
You can get the drivers from nvidia's site.
inf for Win 7 64bit is here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HQB4PDL8
http://www.sendspace.com/file/bg4y9c
That inf file does not work for the international drivers, only the english ones.

I can confirm a massive performance boost with these drivers on my system.
E7500
4GB
GTX460 1GB

FPS went from 17 average to 35 average on very high / 4xAA 16xAF / SSAO off / Diffusion DOF off / Blur on / HQ textures on

Things seem to be looking good. Hopfully, a patch from Bioware and the upcoming 270.xx drivers (not 270.32) will fix everything up.

 Seconded - massive improvements for me too - can run on v high as well as I could on high before updating...

I have gtx 570, with everything maxed out went from 17 to 30 and more  fps.

i got the drivers. but will these inf files work as well for 32-bit windows 7?

Two links to the windows 7 32-bit version inf file:

thanks!

I can also confirm a MAJOR performance boost here.

Before 267.59 I couldn't even play on very high textures, now...

Nvidia GTS 450
Highest resolution, very high textures (no HQ textures), Vsync on, 4xAA 16xAF, SSAO off, Diffusion DOF off, Blur on.

running smooth, any higher and framerates drop slightly, but noticable. Hoping another patch from Nvidia will increase performance even more.

the GT220 has DirectX11 support?  huh, didn't know that.

Just go the the Nvidia site and go to download drivers. Then choose the driver you have and press search, it'll automatically give you the newest version of the driver and just instal it. You don't need to fool around in the .inf file.

[ericzakuchu]

i already have the driver for the GTS550 from the link given above. I also have the .inf miriel linked for me to download. I thought i should or must change something in my current driver (inf) or replace it with the downloaded (inf) to fool the GTS550 Driver to think that my driver ain't a gt220 and install properly....pls help hehe

[FearCain]

These drivers forced me to lose Dx11 and as such all High/Very High options. Force me to reinstall 267.46 drivers. However on DX9 with Medium I had close to 500 fps. Good drivers for low-end midranged GPUs.

2x GTX 580s

@Miriel

Did everything there. Everything was going fine except for the last part where in upon running setup.exe, an error came out stating this>> "Required Files Are Missing"...how do i fix this?? Which files are these

[Dagg Debrini]

This works really well, I've almost doubled my Very High frame rates.

Hmm that error means the INF file is wrong for the drivers you're trying to install (means it's pointing to the wrong path, since the paths for US and UK drivers are different). Did you download the US drivers or the International/UK ones? The US ones have /English/ in the path, the other ones have /International/ in the path.

If you downloaded the International ones, try going back to my guide and getting the US ones instead - I mistakenly posted links to the wrong version earlier, but I've amended that since.

If you did get the US drivers and are using it with the inf file I posted (for 32-bit right?) then those may not be compatible. In that case try grabbing the UK/international drivers and use those instead.

I know it's a bit of a hassle but I got it all mixed up last night and this morning - was a wee bit tired. I'm sorry for the confusion.

[ericzakuchu]

Oh, ok..no problem there. Really appreciate the help and quick reply. Yup, I've downloaded the US driver. Then perhaps the inf file you linked is for the UK/International ones right? Will try this out right away..hope it works this time..im really so excited to play the game haha thanks a lot miriel!

[Miriel Amarinth]

Hmm I figured it would be the path that broke it between versions, but it might be something else as I can't find any reference to path in the INF file. Perhaps there are simply some localization files that are slightly different in the US and UK/int versions.

Since it's hard for me to tell whether the inf files are for US or UK/Int drivers just by looking at them (since im not sure what im looking for), let me know if those inf files do work with the International drivers - if they do I'll amend it in the original walkthrough. You're using Win 7 32-bit right?

If they still don't work I'll have a look and see if I can get you a working set.

[ericzakuchu]

wait, do you have a link for the 32-bit uk version?

[ericzakuchu]

Yup, im using Win 7 32-bit. Thanks for all the help!

[Miriel Amarinth]

Nope all I have is the 2 links I posted earlier. All it says is that they're for 32-bit windows 7, it doesn't mention whether he based them on US or International driverset :/

If however they don't work with international either, then you may simply need a different INF file altogether.

If so, I couldn't find any other uploaded inf files for 32-bit, but one person on guru3d forums says you can simply use the original INF file from the 267.24 beta drivers (which support all cards) without any changes and just use that instead.

If you need that just let me know and I will see if I can extract and upload it somewhere.

[ericzakuchu]

Sure thanks! Will let you know how things work out asap. Im currently downloading the 32 bit UK driver..see if the inf works with that. Owe you bigtime dude! thanks a lot

[JamesX]

 The driver is on Nvidia's website, in case people do not know it.  Evidently it is WHQL-ed already.

Win Vista/7 64 Bit
www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-267.59-whql-driver.html

Win Vista/7 32 Bit
www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-32bit-267.59-whql-driver.html

Or you can also search for it.  Just search for 500 Series, 550 Ti, and it will show up

Anyone already have it installed for GTX 580, non-SLI?

[ericzakuchu]

@Miriel Amarinth

Waddya know! it worked! for an entry level card like my gt220, i was able to play properly at last, and with the settings at max, thanks to the new driver! It seems that the Inf file you linked to answer my question before was indeed compatible with the UK/international driver version of the 267.59, Instead of the US version i tried installing first.

Thanks a lot dude! really appreciate the help. Now, i have to remind myself though to finally change my old video card before mass effect 3 comes out haha Kudos to you my friend

[Kyitty]

I can also confirm. HUGE performance gain from 267.24 to the 267.59 release. Did a Fraps benchmark for 60 seconds in a saved game. Inside a dungeon that was pre-cleared out. Ran the same path through the dungeon.

1920x1080 @ Very High (plus High Resolution Texture update)
8xAA/16xAF + High Quality Blur
Vsync = Off
I5-750 @ 4Ghz + GTX 470 SLI (2 cards)

267.24 Beta = Average 69FPS
267.59 = Average 115FPS

The driver was only release for the 550Ti and the 450GTS, however there's an INF "hack" that allows you to install for any nVidia card. I put it on my PC (470 SLI) and my wife's (GTX 260). Works very well.

Yay, awesome, I'll update the links to the drivers so subsequent people who try the 32-bit drivers dont run into the same problems you did. Thanks a lot for testing and reporting it back to me (since i cant test it myself).
