I have them installed and see no difference in performance other than being more stable in BF4 ;) ID: 33307 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I subscribe to a different mantra: If you have the patience and know-how to realize and troubleshoot any new problems, then backup your data, and go for broke!

I've heard unconfirmed reports it fixes the 36 hour TDR issue. That was already fixed in the version prior to 326, as I had these 35.47 hours or something like that they explained.

Just got this invitation from Nvidia. Should I go for it? They say at the top of the page: "R331 Game Ready Beta Driver", and we are not gaming here. So I would say the same as skgiven, if it works fine now, leave it alone. In a few days we can read all about the new bugs it generates...

Have been running on them since the hour it came out. No issues that I can see except the fact that my overclock can't go past 1035Mhz mark.. could be an issue.

This driver fixes the access violation bug for gk110 users. It does indeed! I have installed it on my GTX650ti system and my GTX590 system as well as my Titan system. Although the GTX590 system has had one TDR since then I think that was related to a power problem. The GTX650Ti system and my Titan system are both running strong and steady (been up for 3 days at least). So for me at least there has been no downside to installing the 331.40 beta drivers. And I think Firehawk and Jacob Klein would also agree since I installed after their recommendations. Operator ID: 33386 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

This driver fixes the access violation bug for gk110 users. It would appear this video driver has resolved "access violation" issue that I was having for my TITAN.

GTX Titan on Win 7 64bit running smoothly now w/o those pesky access violations. See stderr.txt content posted here. That's a giant leap forward. Thx to anyone involved and reporting this.
