Re: Nvidia/GeForce 280.19 Beta

Install went well. I only install Display Driver and PhysX. Since 275.33 i've had 3 problems with 3 new/updated EXEs. Crysis 2 + HD, Fear 3 and 3DMark 11.
So far i've been able to play longer in F3AR than before, so crossing my fingers, C2 haven't tried yet and 3DM11 still goes belly up at Graphic Test 3. Pan across the trees, freezes, press CTRL-ALT-DEL, window pops up, select Task Manager, black screen, hard lock, have to reset machine.

So far problems with those 3 newer titles only. I tried many games previously with 275.50 and all worked fine. FarCry2, DukeNukemForever, Fear2, GTA4, Crysis, Battlefield2, Serious Sam HD, 3DMarkVantage... No hiccups.

Other than that can't complain. Enjoying this card.
