Tested: Nvidia's Performance-Boosting GeForce 337.50 Driver

Good! I hope it will help me increase the 40 frames average to somewhat like 45 in Thief. But I know that's not gonna happen

^^Just tried the driver, doesn't happen.

you need a good graphics card

Will try on my Nvidia GT640m , which is a bit overclocked. It's a lower end kepler mobile card , but still worth a try.

There's only so much a driver can do, seems AMD and its mantle is putting a lot of pressure on nVidia, although I don't see mantle becoming popular in the near future, specially with DX12, most devs will go that way, still

The Optimization war has begun :evil:

I guess my 755m can now perform a little better in bf4

I will not try this on mt gt640
It runs okay alerady

I can max bf4 already so I don't bother much.

AMD still wins in optimization department. They have improved performance with leap multiple times in history where Nvidia failed to do so.

Should I update ?
Will it give any food gains over my current 335.23 driver

AMD my @$$.
These cards cause problems when non-OEM and official reference drivers are installed. I am talking about mobile segment. The latest BETA drivers causes the Kernel to crash. No such problems in Nvidia.
They may have better optimization in latest drivers but to hell with optimization if we can't even fkin use them.

You should always be on latest drivers(even BETA) when using Nvidia.
People with AMD mobile cards shouldn't even bother installing anything other than OEM.

Smart people find smarter ways: *leshcatlabs.net/unifl-unified-leshcat-drivers/
And I am on the latest beta 14.2 without any issues(laptop).

I wouldn't say AMD had won in optimization department, what AMD had done is increase the quality of their software, while during 3870 days the driver would crash constantly now a days its as bug free as nVidia's drivers. And for a change we are seeing some new tech coming from them, like mantle, or promotions like never settle bundles etc.

And I'm not sure how long have you been using nVidia cards, but there was a time when their drivers fried cards by overheating them, then there was a time when the driver would cause a system crash when the monitor went to sleep(faced this issue for a long long time).

Tried leash cat's stable release, same results.
1 year nvidia user. No issues whatsoever.

I'm using nvidia from 2008, with 9800gtx+, then gtx580, I've seen the bad sides of both.

Still I am sticking with the green camp for laptops, if I ever get around to build a desktop then I'll have to see because no trash switchable graphics in desktops.

But when I installed the 335.23 driver on my laptop I lost the ability to change brightness.
Any suggestions ?

You don't even know who you should blame lol.

Blame the laptop manufacturer.

And there are MANY nVidia laptops where the official driver will refuse to install.

Again blame the laptop manufacturer for tweaking around too much.

Damn you dell. I am done with your stupid laptops.

Well i got this weird problem with my driver update. When i updated them to released version i.e. non beta drivers they always give me a direct x problem on battlefield 3 and 4 and sometimes even in assassin's creed 4. Any one with help?

It says update direct x. And games say direct x error and direct x not found.

I totally agree with you
AMD is elcheapo de crapo when it comes to hardware and software IMO
I have so many problems because of these sh it AMD and its card especially with switchable graphics solutions and even with dedicated.
This sh it is a total fail

Yes I;ve gone gone from upgrade to downgrade but I dont play pc games anymore either.

^ stupid.

Most of the time the problem is somewhere between the computer screen and chair.
