Nvidia's Christmas Present; Geforce 290.53 Beta Driver Is Now Available

DSOGaming writes: "As promised, Nvidia released a new ForceWare beta driver for its cards. This new driver is essential to all 3D Vision owners as it includes 3D profiles for a lot of games that were released these past days. Moreover, there are some updated SLI profiles so be sure to download it if you own an SLI system. Last but not least, the company has included native ambient occlusion support for Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3."

I've been waiting for this. That previous beta that they released for Skyrim's ambient occlusion caused some rather funky effects.

T9004502d ago

Well Nvidia driver support is really solid and in todays day and age thats really what counts.

hiredhelp4502d ago (Edited 4502d ago )

Have you checked the forums lately.
Have you wonderd why nvidia asking for people send there cards in so they do some tests replicate the issues people are getting.
Why do you think DX11.1 is comming for some people like yourself not effected but soo many that are.
TDR people been asking for them to fix for a long time that was caused by firefox IE9 im getting the new amd cards after xmas going back to ati. (amd)
Nvidia was my no1 for many years.

@hiredhelp
Dont gotta be so sour bro.
Everyone knows nvidia has vastly superior drivers and game support. More and more developers are switching to nvidia. some games just arent playable on ATI anymore. Your going to have a much more enjoyable experience with nvidia, unless you like hassles.

Dude4204502d ago (Edited 4502d ago )

Oh come on, ATI's drivers may not be as good as nVidia's, but they're far from being a hassle. Everyone has problems with cards of either company. Right now I've had more problems with my GTX 560 than I did with my HD5770.

The problem with my GTX 560 is not hardware related at all, I've checked my temps, voltages etc..., and nothing is wrong with it. The 2 problems I have with it now is the TDR with the 285.xx drivers and the Battlefield 3 crash with the GTX 560, both are ACTUALLY common problems, it won't be hard to find on the internet.

I'm still keeping my GTX 560 Ti though, it's an awesome card, but these problems are getting rather tiresome and I really want to play BF3. Every other game works but that. I really hope these beta drivers fix the problem.

Dude4204502d ago

Just tried the beta drivers, nope they still haven't fixed the BF3 crash issue. Every other game works but not BF3.

hiredhelp4502d ago

Firstly if i seemed harsh my bad.
I do have a gtx560 well SLI or did have.
I know TDR isnt a problem with my card,Why simle up untill the bf3 beta came out i had no TDR.
Since the install of the drivers from the beta upwrods i have had TDR.
Now for the horrid BF3.EXE error oh god that did my head in,However i have resolved that issue weeks ago by taken out my video card so i now have the 1 card. But i found once i replaced that video card back in NO BF3.EXE issues strange but worked.
As for TDR a nvidia guy on frums has stated it is a issue they working with MS on.
Plus i only get tdr when im browsing the web or idle. and no not power managment issue ive looked at that in windows.
;) thanks guy's

@ hiredhelp

I'm not sure if you think I replied to you, my post was actually directed at ninjahunter to point out the ridiculousness of his post.

found out the hardway that 3d ready and on Nvidia list ...is not the same thing...but thats ok...just another excuse to research and buy more Monitors :)

Taz Yamauchi4502d ago

I will download this when I get home, for some reason the last beta didn't put COD MW3 into 3D mode on my pc when I connected it to my 3dtv, I hope these one will work fine

john24502d ago

Just a hint: These drivers have a Framelimiter option (that is hidden and is not shown in the Control Panel) ;)

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons8d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac8d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-237d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22914d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko14d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan14d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
