jriquelme_paraguay5393d ago

hmmm... special.. "Magical Drivers"

meetajhu5393d ago

EPIC! Nvidia the way its meant to be played!

JonahNL5393d ago

"a whopping 38 per cent"

That's great and all, but compared to what exactly? A normal rig, an SLI based rig or my toaster?

pr0digyZA5393d ago

I'm going to take a guess and say compared to not having the driver on your card.

JonahNL5393d ago

Of course.

But the thing is that we don't have a base line and I'd like to know in what particular situation this driver will yield a 38% performance boost.

This, however, is marketing BS...

EliteAssass1n5393d ago

@pr0digyZA test it for yourself when the beta comes out. That's what I'll be doing.

ECM0NEY5393d ago

I would guess using the same setup with WHQL drivers and then testing after with the beta drivers.

"Increases performance in Battlefield 3 by up to 38 per cent - performance measured vs. GeForce 285.27 driver on GeForce GTX 570 at 2650x1600 (DX11)"

Well if u read the article you'd know...

'Performance measured vs. GeForce 285.27 driver on GeForce GTX 570'

JonahNL5393d ago

Ah, that's good. I still wonder how much the driver will do for other (older) cards and SLI setups.

Fishy Fingers5393d ago

Awesome, I've just put in another GTX 570, so hopefully the SLI performance increase is good too :)

Triggs5393d ago

AWright! That's my card! (SC version) :-D

Bladesfist5393d ago

Nvidia and ati are going all out to be best for Bf3. Ati also releasing drivers and app profiles. Competition is great for drivers :D

Fishy Fingers5393d ago

When it comes to drivers, Nvidia usually have it in the bag, I've always found their software support much better.

Bladesfist5393d ago

Yes but amd did a better job with the alpha. But we will see soon enough.

Battlefield 3 Cut Missions From Campaign Detailed by Former DICE Dev

Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign

XiNatsuDragnel539d ago

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast539d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia1325d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad1324d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
