Removed

NVIDIA today released GeForce 313.96 beta drivers, which are essentially the same as 313.95 beta drivers that came out yesterday with some installer fixes. It appears that the non-English GeForce 313.95 drivers that international users were downloading had an installation issue, so this update fixes that.

Seems the beta release is geared towards the Crysis 3 multiplayer beta.

This is the recommended GeForce driver for the Crysis 3 Multiplayer Open Beta. It delivers a smoother gaming experience, and boosts SLI performance by up to 65%.

EA’s recommended GeForce GPU for Crysis 3 is a GeForce GTX 560 or higher. For the Hi-Performance PC Specification, EA recommends GeForce GTX 680. See the full Crysis 3 system requirements on GeForce.com.

GeForce R313 drivers also provide significant performance increases in other top games like Assassin’s Creed III, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and Far Cry 3.

Good news!

Very nice to see that slightly older games like Just Cause 2 are still being treated to performance optimisations as well as all those others.

Disappointed not to see any improvement for Borderlands 2 mentioned but who knows, downloading now, so I'll soon see. Hopefully there will be!

I have never had luck with beta drivers. But might give this one a whirl for crisis 3. BTW is it even out yet, the beta I mean. Tomorrow no?

I have tried this driver in 3dmark 11 and its crippling my cpu score o.0 can someone confirm this? And in just cause 2 bench i use to have in concrete jungle 55 fps with 310.70 and now i'm only getting 52.

[MrDJ]

beta should show up in your origin game list. release day is tomorrow (9pm uk time now) but ive seen it mentioned it could midnight tonight or be 8am tomorrow but it just depends when they hit that big red button to activate it.


i will test it with 3dmark11 tomorrow once the game is released. i want to test it first with this latest whql i have loaded.

yeah somehow new drivers arent any good for us mobile users. I'm still on 306.97, as they provide the best performance

Agreed!

No crashes, and +/- 1-2 FPS more Just Cause 2.. hard to tell once everything is maxed and it runs above 70 lol

I've never used a geforce beta before, are there any stability issues? Just wondering if it's worth an install over 310.90.

Well I think its different for everyone. I personally never had good experiences with betas.

I'd say try Crysis on the 310.90, if you arent happy try the beta. You can always revert back
