tribaljet Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Can't blaim just this driver but I've had random issues lately when trying to hibernate and laptop just going to sleep when using hotkeys. Today I noticed hibernate was missing from startup and had to powercfg on to get it back. Must keep eye on this oddity which never happened earlier, just for some weeks lately. Odd behavior indeed. 306.97 performs nicely but introduces a screen flash glitch with an horizontal bar out of sync. I went from 306.02 (stable but not that great performance) to 306.97 (with the aforementioned issues) and now I'm back at 304.79, nice performance and no issues whatsoever.

zipper Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Random issues with hibernate on 306.97 did continue - at random times the hibernate option disappeared from start/stop bar and instead of hibernating just sleep happened. Let's see if a new driver cures this - now 310.33 beta; a top performer especially on older benchmarks, all time high with 3DMark03. No issues so far found. Original inf used. ...hibernate seems to work so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 310.54 beta tried with the original inf. Pretty like 310.33, nothing to complain. The PhysX uninstaller didn't work - probably did not find the msi so I had to install PhysX manually. So, a good one but not the best.

zipper Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 310.61 beta tried. Nothing special, surprisingly clearly slower than .54 with older software! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribaljet Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 There have been multiple reports of 310.61 having slightly to immensely lower frame rates on Skyrim and World of Warcraft, as well increased chances of crashes occuring in Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty Black Ops 2.

zipper Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'd expect the difference being a bit more noticeable with older s/w, in DX9 and older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Now 310.64 beta - about the same as expected - so not a too good performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 310.70 WHQL candidate tried, no problems. Not better than the betas, 3DMark 05 result is quite bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Now tried as WHQL - still worse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSudlow Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 What's your best driver so far? 301.42 still gives me the best numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 There are many good and performance wise similar drivers: 301.10, 301.34, 302.71,305.53, 305.68, 306.97. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 310.90 WHQL tried with the original inf. Better than the former 310.xx drivers - should it be called a good slow driver? Usually the Vantage results are under 5000 or clearly over 5100; this opens a new class (after 186.81) :dude: No problems found so far.

zipper Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 313.95 beta tried. No problems but lame benchmarks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribaljet Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 For some reason I missed your previous post, zipper. Are you saying you find 310.90 to be better than 310.33? I don't even consider 310.70 due to the very large bug reports from that driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 There's no big difference with my h/w - 310.90 might be a bit better with the latest software and 310.33 with old stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Added 3DMark Basic test to the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 314.07 WHQL tried. The worst driver in 3 years for DX8/9; DX10 is about OK, mediocre. No problems yet found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 314.14 beta tried. AÂ tiny bit better but still depressing. What have they done to 3DMark 05 performance? Odd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 314.21 beta tried with the original inf - no better but slightly worse than the predecessors. Yet no problems found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 314.22 WHQL added; nothing to complain. The trend for miserable performance for older benchmarks just continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 320.00 beta tried with the original inf. No problems, a little better than the predecessors but still quite depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribaljet Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Definitely not good news. Â Would you by any chance mind giving 311.12 a try? I'm curious as to how it would perform when compared to 310.33, 310.90 and 320.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Let's have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 All right, a big surprise as it made 2 ATH benchmarks and the others were top-class, too. Really worth trying! Just added my card to the Clevo inf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribaljet Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Great news then :) I just might take these for a spin and hope similar results will happen on Windows 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
