I tried changing that using some NV app someone told me about.  That made ZERO difference for the stutter in BF BC2.

You can see my results here. I ran a few different bench's and will be adding to them. So far these drivers look to be great. Although it seems there is a problem with SLI in Mafia 2. I get a better score with one card with new driver then I do with SLI.

did you test one card or just disable SLI in the control panel? my best guess is better physx utilization on the 2nd acting as a stand alone ppu card with these drivers, similar to batman aa, better performance out of sli running dedicated. You could always run agperfmon to see what workload is going where.


I just disabled SLI. I use precision to monitor usage. In SLI I am only getting 25-35% in mafia 2. But with one card I get 99%. I have always had Auto selected for Physx. Still doesn't make sense how one card outperforms SLI in my results.

thats not the full info, and its a quote from something i wrote months back on the nhancer forums.

just a heads up, combinations of the Multicore optimisation and dynamic tiling settings aparently lead to interesting performance improvements.


Please do tell, I currently am away from my Main Desktop and would like to know. Thanks mate


a user at Rage3D (i think it was Rage3D) said that he got more fps in just cause 2 by setting Multithreading to On rather than leaving it at Auto and setting DT to Safe.

set dynamic tiling to safe, and set mutithreaded optimisations to on rather than auto.

Didn't do anything, actually got one fps less in mafia 2 with those settings. Still only getting 35% on gpu's.

Just ran Just cause 2 and got 2 fps lower as well. Not sure what that guy is talking about.

Well I remember there was a problem with the mafia 2 demo, something to do with the physx it installed. Almost seems to be the same issue.

Anyone else bench mafia 2 with this driver. Single card vs SLI.

~300 point increase in Vantage.

From this to this.

Seems like a pretty good driver, gonna fire up some games now.

yeah but he says the problem occurs in SLI only Jowata.

:p might just dedicate one card to physx and the other to graphics Bowenac

SLi seems to take it in the bunghole on this game without a dedicated physx card. It's more prevalent of an issue in games like Mafia II and Batman AA as they constantly use physx and the switching back and forth the workload on the cards seems to cause a hitch. You could try setting the physx to the cpu.

What guy?( i think he meant to quote the other message in reference to the dynamic tiling)   any way I would assume your fps with one card in mafia II is prob. in the 20's fps wise with out using your 2nd 460 as a dedicated ppu. you would have to disable the 2nd card in the physX configuration tab or physically take it out of your rig. just cause has no bearing on your mafia result, no gpu physX, so disabling sli would run just one card in jc2 bench. right?

Oh man, I can play bfbc2 all high in dx11 smoothly now. Before the update shadows on medium or high killed my fps, now they don't and if I ever do drop to the 50's its smooth.

When I fire up BFBC2 WITH SLi enabled things work. But if I set SLI AA in the Control panel bfbc2 crashes every time with these. anyone else have this problem? 

Seems like a single 480 works even better than 2

Read a few more posts up from what you quoted, he mentioned someone from guru mentioned making those settings gave him and increase in Just Cause 2, that is what I was talking about. And yes disabling SLI will only use one gpu in Just Cause 2. And for mafia no if you looked at my bench's from the link I posted I got

36.1 with single card with 258.96
46.5 with single card with 260.52

42.0 with sli with 258.96
43.8 with sli with 260.52

Why would I take the card out. I ran the same bench's. Even setting physx to gpu 2 not dedicated though makes no difference.

If you set physx to cpu that would be horrible. You would be better off turning physx off in game. Thats what the problem was with the demo IIRC it was using the cpu instead of gpu, because the demo installed the physx wrong. I have mafia 2 on steam so I would assume this was fixed in the final game. But still having wierd issues.

Can you post a bench of Mafia 2 single vs sli please.

I've gotta say, WOW.. I didn't expect to see any difference at all if any from this new driver. I wasn't experiencing any of the micro stutter other people were, prior to installing this. But the game just runs sooooooooooo much smoother, my FPS stays pegged at 60 with vsync and triple buffering forced on and hbao(which would make my fps drop to 50-55 occasionally prior to this new driver)

However, for some reason I can no longer alt+tab out of the game? strange.. I wanted to view my gpu usage and temps, had to exit out of the game completely to do so.

sure thing il post in just a minute. do you want me to dedicate the other 480 to physX when benching with sli disabled?

for now il just do an sli bench versus a single 480 bench

I've gotta say, WOW.. I didn't expect to see any difference at all if any from this new driver. I wasn't experiencing any of the micro stutter other people were, prior to installing this. But the game just runs sooooooooooo much smoother, my FPS stays pegged at 60 with vsync and triple buffering forced on and hbao(which would make my fps drop to 50-55 occasionally prior to this new driver)

However, for some reason I can no longer alt+tab out of the game? strange.. I wanted to view my gpu usage and temps, had to exit out of the game completely to do so.


Just press ALT CTRL DEL,(start taskmanager) *leave it open* and then open up realtemp, or view your temps ect.. close the task manager and it will maximize again.

Have to say these are awesome so far.  Just hopped into BC2 and my gpu usage was into the 90's, before it was like 50-60% if that!

Would like to see the map load times in DX11 reduced though.  For some reason, my 460 is slower than my 470 in loading maps.  With the 470 im in with plenty time to set up my class, with the 460 the map has already started

But i can live with that, main thing was usage fixed.  Good job Nvidia and thanks to OP!!

I'm using the 1st and 3rd slot on my EVGA 758 3Way(heres the board http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=132-BL-E758-TR). putting them in a 1 and 2 config didn't boost my performance enough to notice whatsoever, and they get too hot! That is the only way to get x16 for both of them though as far as I know.

Mafia Benchies-

1920x1024
Max settings except 4x AF and AA off
Default Nvidia Control Panel settings
vsync off

50 FPS average with two 480s in SLI
50 FPS average with a single 480....lol

These results could possibly differ if I had my NV CP 3D settings configured differently, but not by much. Either way you'd think SLI would make a big difference even on default settings, since those are recommended.

I'll post again with one 480 as a physX card n see what happens.

and this is on these leaked and pretty flaky 260.52 drivers (obviously since were in that thread =P), but there wasn't much difference on the WHQL drivers either.

Can you try Slots 1 and 2 (The Proper Slots) for a couple of minutes, Bench again to see what the results are? You might not physically notice, but the numbers might show an improvement......??? The way you have it set up, you might as well take the SLI cable off and run the card in Slot 3 as a PhysX.


There won't be a difference.

Restarting bc2 fixed the issue I had, thanks for the help anyways!

I've never once had any games freeze on me before with my new build but playing BC2 for the past hour and I've had it freeze twice where I had to alt ctrl del to close the game... anyone else having issues ?
