Re: GeForce/ION Driver v275.33 WHQL

beyond some new features, i find driver updates only bring performance improvements for cards in the current gen, never the past gen. This wasn't the case before...

Re: GeForce/ION Driver v275.33 WHQL

Crysis 2 is nice and smooth however i'm getting missing textures, like many people are reporting, in levels like Power Out.

Also a few driver recovered errors while running some FM benchies.

Re: GeForce/ION Driver v275.33 WHQL

That just with this latest driver, or with the last one too?

Re: GeForce/ION Driver v275.33 WHQL

Odd................ I haven't gotten it yet (waiting for a sale) so not much help (not that I ever am anyways)

Before the upgrade were you running it in a window on purpose, or that's the only way it would run?

The crash when logging into GFW could be because it doesn't see the same hardware as original install... Did you do a complete re-install?
