    I hope some folks will run some benchmarks with the current latest driver so we can see how our results compare to their claims. I have 7 of the titles they listed for performance gains.

    That list is just a sample it isn't the entire list of games that will (reportedly) see some benefit. We'll have to wait and see for other titles.

    Completely untrue, BF4 gets tons of goodness!
    All I can say about the Beta driver, is -very- -very- well done Nvidia

    Im interested in the 25% performance on Skyrim, currently with the Titan Black I get 15-30 fps due to some heavy modding and custom .ini settings. If this works it'll give me some head room for those 8k shadows with 11 ugrids and not have 10-20fps.

    So this driver basically reduces CPU dependency?

    Ha yea I'd be interested in that too, I was using the Tropical Skyim mod on that game and alot of the heavy grass areas are killer on performance but it looks so nice.

    I just didn't see BF4 listed so I assumed that this driver was tailored towards other games.  I will wait on Maniac's review of this driver before I install it.  He has never steered me wrong.

    I just tested them on my GTX 770, with 3dmark firestrike and unigine Valley and no problems, no change in performance either, work fine for Cryptocurrency mining as well.
     
    It will take some long term testing to see if the Driver reset bug of 335.23 was fixed.

    Has anyone tried these to see if they cause "driver stopped responding and recovered" issues??
     
    I tried 334 and 335 and they gave me this error once every couple of days. I am now on 331.82 and am leary about updating to these drivers   :(

    I just tested this driver against driver version 334.89 WHQL running the Batman AO benchmark.  Game settings all at max including AA & PhysX.  GPU's in sig at stock settings.
     
    Driver 334.89 results:
      Min FPS = 69
      Max FPS = 130
      Avg FPS = 92
     
    Driver 337.50 Beta results:
      Min FPS = 79
      Max FPS = 127
      Avg FPS = 95
     
    I ran the benchmark with each driver two times and took the 2nd result for each.

    There are a lot of disappointed people trying this beta release. I think I'll pass since GeForce can't deliver on all of the hype they advertised about this driver being lightyears ahead of their last release. I am happy with 332.21 WHQL for now.

    I suggest that users stop worrying about benchmark numbers....
    Except for some CPU bound titles (listed here http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-337-50-beta-performance-driver)
    This driver is NOT about increases in benchmarks or top fps---> its about having a better experience in games! 
     
    What this driver does best is under the hood, and can only be truly appreciated by seeing the differences it brings to framerates and overall smoothness.
    For games like BF4, the framerates are -much- more stable and this driver brings a "fluid smoothness" that can only be described as wonderful for a FPS game like BF4.
     
    I highly recommend Nvidia 337.50
     
    As always I suggest using ONLY-->a Custom mode install (Graphics driver and PhysX components only) with clean install checked.
    Never skip rebooting after the install is complete
     
    *NEVER EVER attempt to install a Nvidia driver set with Precision (or other monitoring/fan software) running.
    I always shut it down completely, uninstall it (and answer NO to saving data) and then reboot, before installing my Nvidia driver.
    Only after the Nvidia install is complete and I have rebooted once and enabled SLI, do I then re-install my monitoring/fan control software.

    I noticed they added shader cache, and preferred refresh rate to the list of 3d settings for applications shader chache to reduced CPU load it seems, and Preferred refresh rate for applications that don't play well with monitors that have say 120/144hz refresh rates.

    The Preferred refresh rate option has been around awhile, but the Shader Cache option is new.  And I see it's (Shader Cache) enabled globally by default.

    I lost 10 fps on crysis 3 running this new beta driver. Anyone having the same issue? I have GTX 670 SLI.
     
    Update: Nevermind. I restarted Windows 7 and now it's good.
    Getting a few more fps (3 - 5 fps) on FXAA.
    10 fps higher on TXAA high.
    Same fps on high MSAA 8X.

    I played Crysis3 for a few hours today with this new driver.  It's never played this good before in terms of how steady the frame rate stays.  I used to see more in the way of bigger dips in FPS.  Now it maintains 60FPS pretty well.
     
    In-game settings all at max level.  AA at 4xmsaa.  NVCPL game profile changes = AO at "performance, vsync at "Adaptive (half refresh)", and Triple buffering ON.  Half refresh is 60FPS on my 120Hz display.
