New Graphic drivers launched by nVidia which will boost Battlefield 3 performance

Nvidia’s launched a new set of graphic card drivers for Battlefield 3, and PC gamers can expect a “major” performance boost when the game releases later this week.

The updated drivers, GeForce 285.62 WHQL, will bundle in all theĀ improvementsĀ and updates from the 285.62 and 285.38 betas, along with adding new SLI and 3D vision profiles for a number of upcoming as well as recently released titles.

Nvidia claims that installing the new drivers would result in “up to 11%” boost in performance in Battlefield 3 for people using a GTX 560. It’ll also boost performance for both Rage and Batman: Arkham City.

I can confirm they do. I’ve been playing the single player tonight on Ultra with my GTX 560Ti, which was just out of reach in the beta.

Fucking beta drivers, ever since the Alpha I’ve had a big rise in video related crashes, can we get a proper stable release some time soon? I’m feed up of that blue screen.

Is anyone else still getting that annoying time out issue with these WHQL drivers?

nVida claim to have fixed it… but not on my end they haven’t :p
