New 290.36 Beta drivers - Page 2

Maybe they'll fix these small issues for WHQL, might just be a profile issue. Steam has it's own profile as well, I wonder if that got messed up for you.

I'm doing ok with 285.62, so I'll wait a bit.

As with the last 2-3 drivers, still getting 1 or 2 "driver stopped responding" messages a day, on a standard evga 560 ti.

Installed these last night. So far so good, overall I think BF3 feels smoother. BM AC I can see no difference.

Sure there isn't something wrong with the card? Does it do that with older drivers?

Does anyone know if these will work with my card and gtx260? I heard some issues with certain drivers.

So far I am using 270.61 and haven't had an issue but i know those were not optimized for bf3

Worked fine up to 280.26. Since then (including 285.62) it's been having the problem. Interestingly, it doesn't happen while gaming, so I think that exonerates the card (although stranger things have happened.)

Tends to happen when I am doing light weight tasks like browsing (particularly scrolling rapidly). Started as soon as I installed my first 285 series driver, so I'm guessing some kind of timing issue got introduced. I have seen other postings of people having similar problems. Reported fixes have been to back down to pre 285, or turn off Aero. I'm running Win 7 64-bit.

Dumping these. While they work fine for Skyrim and Batman AC (just like the previous drivers) they don't work at all with BF3 for me.

Had my first taste of the nasty TDR with this set. Only once, but still that's enough to set off alarm bells for me.
