Maybe there is a pattern behind it after all. New graphic cards benefit, older graphic cards don't or suffer. I guess at some point the driver developing concentrates on newer stuff, although they would probably never admit it.

 

Could be. I also saw a performance increase on my GTX 970, and this is coming from 347.09 beta. I didn't think a beta build to a WHQL one would have given me such a performance increase, they had to have changed something in there other than just certifying it for me to see this change.

 

Benchmark score went from 40 fps min/50 high to 45 min/59 high. Everything maxed except no MSAA. CPU  is an old i5 750@3.8GHz.

I tried the new beta driver and it felt like I got worse performance to be honest. I rolled back to 344.75 drivers. I play in SLI 780's.

 

This happened with me. I would randomly lose frames like crazy. For no discernable reason I'd drop to like 15 frames a second then back up to 60, then down, then up, then down, etc.

This is the exact issue I had with the beta driver.

Yikes, that's what I wanted to know, right now I'm running (mostly) smoothly with the 344.75 drivers (I have a 750 Ti), so I guess I'll be staying with that driver until I decide to buy a new game in the future (maybe the witcher 3?).

344.75 has been the most well-rounded for my superclocked GTX 980. All the updated versions (both WHQL and beta releases) introduced various problems.

[Dseaver]

I've been playing all day with the new driver and absolutely no change in gameplay whatsoever, other than my driver version is now 347.09.

my gpu is GTX 690.

 

 

 

 

wait, I was wrong, my framerate while in redcliffe village increased slightly after the update. Certain cutscenes are still a bit choppy though.

To be honest here I still prefer the 344.65 drivers. Gtx 650.

 

Same. It seems the most stable. Had a friend who upgraded to patch 2 with the 344.75 drivers and experienced constant freezes every few seconds. Told him to revert to 344.65 and it has been smooth sailing. I'm beginning to wonder if the performance issues many are experiencing from patch 2 are in fact from the drivers, and not necessarily the game itself. He also hasn't had a single CTD.

I had no issues with driver 344.75 WHQL and have no issues with 347.09 WHQL either. I use settings on High, just lowered Tesselation to None and the MSAA to None. Can play on pretty stable framerates at about 60 Hz (VSync On) besides some certain areas . My specs are in the signature.

Installed the driver and played the game for several hours, no dramas at all seemed quite good for me.

GTX980 here

[DragonKingReborn]

GTX980, played fine on 344.75, upgraded to the beta, still fine. No noticeable drops anywhere, including the Crossroads or Redcliffe. Should be noted that I don't run any of those programmes which tell me my frame rate, so I don't know for sure that the performance is the same, but it certainly seems better to my eye. By better, no drops that I can notice, whereas previously I would notice a 'small' drop every now and then once I passed the three hour mark of a play session.

You can check your FPS in game via the console menu (~ key). After you open the console type: perfoverlay.drawfps 1

perfoverlay.drawfps 0 will remove the FPS display.

Thanks, might give that a go this evening.

Well ever since I upgraded to 347.09 I been having TDR issues. Like the games are running fine but they suddenly go from 60 to 0 fps and then back and then down again. Eventually it causes the game to crash or freeze. Gonna jump back to 345 since I had no issues with that one.

Would you mind telling us your hardware, please?

[GODzilla]

*sigh* Everytime I try to find out whether this driver is good for my GTX 760 (hardware in my signature) someone posts useless info and doesn't respond to questions. Second time in this thread. -.-

Maybe instead of waiting on others just install it yourself and see,takes less time as well lol .

I'm using 344.75 with Galax GeForce GTX 970 OC and have zero issues (apart from the normal game bugs) even when I was using my GTX 660 and using same driver I had no issues (only just upgraded to new card).

I don't even understand why peeps are even trying to see if this driver fixes anything as nothing is mentioned in the build notes (maybe they are just clutching at straws ? ).Also it may be like trying to find a needle in a haystack if your trying to find someone with exactly the same build/rig as you,way to many variables.

 

Why not post on the Nvidia Driver forums as well (unless you done so)and ask there ? maybe the techies there could help solve any issues your having or at least give you ideas depending on what issues you are having,always worth a try.

The same range of graphic cards would suffice. GTX 7xx series.

 

The current 344.75 runs without any problem, but I do have very noticeable performance drops in crowded areas like Haven (~30 fps) and Redcliffe (~25 fps). So...a bit more performance would be welcome, but not when I get more serious problems instead,

 

That's why I decided to wait for people reporting their experience here. Well, I guess I should've known, being on the internet for many, many years, that posts like "the games doesn't run, please help me" is the peak of what to expect for infos.

Ahh I see also I edited my post first bit came over to strong also worth trying nvida forums ?

 

 

 

[GODzilla]

Good idea, will check it out. Thanks for the hint.

 

 

/edit: After some reading I'm now convinced to stick with 344.75 as long as I can. Some people are even convinced (and I have thought about this as well) that at some point one should stop upgrading the driver for an older generation card because newer ones are optimized for newer cards. It makes sense I guess, the new cards sell, the older ones don't. But the 344.75 runs well, no minor or major problems so I might as well enjoy that even though there might be a slight performance increase with the 347.09.

 

The only problem is that I also discovered this ongoing problem with the low-usage-bug for the gtx 970 and 980 series, which seems to be quite widespread, not even officially accepted by Nvidia and therefore not solved or fixable by any means. I wanted to get a GTX 970 in late January 2015...damn.

[DaKineGuy]

Win 8.1 (installed 2 weeks ago, hardly anything else on the PC)

i4790K

GeForce 560ti 448

 

With 347.09 DA:I will crash to a white screen ~3-5 minutes after loading up a save and starting play.  Lingering on the title screen seemed stable.

I rolled back to 344.75 and the game no longer crashes in that short period of time.  It will still, on occasion, crash to a white screen during play but it is very infrequent.

 

Those with older cards update with caution.

No new driver is automatically better than it's predecessors. Test it, keep it or revert back to older one. Every PC is different and thus experiences with drivers are. 

[Etragorn]

I haven't noticed any issue with 347.09 running a GTX 980 with Windows 8.1
