Latest version of the Nvidia drivers have been leaked intended for the 400 series cards.

Depending on the processor workload, sharing the data cache may harm performance due to excessive cache conflicts. A way to overcome this problem is to physically partition the cache between threads. Unfortunately, partitioning the cache requires additional hardware and may lead to lower utilisation of the cache in certain workloads. It is therefore important to consider software mechanisms to implicitly partition the cache between threads by controlling the locations in the cache in which each thread can load data. This paper proposes standard program transformations for partitioning the shared data caches of SMT processors, if and only if there are conflicts between threads in the shared cache at runtime. We propose transformations based on dynamic tiling. The key idea is to use two tile sizes in the program, one for single-threaded execution mode and one suitable for multithreaded execution mode and switch between tile sizes at runtime. Our transformations combine dynamic tiling with either copying or storing arrays in block layout. The paper presents an implementation of these transformations along with runtime mechanisms for detecting cache contention between threads and react to it on-the-fly. Our experimental results show that for regular, perfect loop nests, these transformations provide substantial performance improvements. Example: CPU Intensive games running on more then 2 cores may benefit by increasing this value to 2 or higher."

Thank you so much for this, I have waited for the new drivers for some days now.
I must say the new driver installation looks better than the old, is it since this update or has it been since the Fermi cards?
[QUOTE=Kialtia;24696262]I must say the new driver installation looks better than the old, is it since this update or has it been since the Fermi cards?[/QUOTE] Just this update. Also I have noticed no difference from the update on my GTX 275 other than Flash fullscreen looking awful (though that might be coincidental).
Hopefully all the small problems will be fixed and officially released soon.
According to people over at Guru3D, performance in BC2 got quite a boost.
Yes, the game runs so much better for me now with my 470. Could be a mix between DX11 hotfix and these drivers thou.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Downloading it right now, just wondering which games I should use to test this. (I'm on a GTX460)
still on the 200 series :(

I'm still on my 2x 8800gtx in sli. :smile:

I'm on an 8400m GT. :saddowns:
