Summary and Highlights: http://www.geforce.com/News/articles/nvidia-geforce-285-27-beta-drivers-released


From what I can gather, its a few performance boosts, a few new 3D Vision profiles, no major feature-set update however like some of the other big enumeration jumps of the past. This should fix the emitter issues with adjusting convergence and turning 3D Vision on/off.

I'm not seeing any of those *new* 3D Vision profiles - no Diablo 3, no Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, etc...

glad to hear the emitter issues are resolved. look forward to testing out the driver tonight after work.

while the profile says unknown, have you actually tried leaving 3d on and playing the demo? You will find that it works. I played both the steam demo and full game for warhammer and 3d works fine and looks great.

Nice boost in F1 2010 (not that it run slow before, average was already above 63 fps and now it's 73 fps). Sadly it has the 60 Hz bug in DX11.

Can someone that has the drivers installed confirm if they see a 3D Vision profile for Diablo 3 in their control panel and if Dirt now says excellent?

Nevermind - I re-ran the 3D Vision installer and it updated correctly.

When did Aion become 3D Vision ready?

Hiya, yeah I tried 3D Vision in the demo and while S3D technically "works" with stereo images, there were far too many issues for me to consider playing it with 3D Vision. Do you mind posting some JPS screens with Alt-F1 and posting them here so I can get an idea of what you're looking at? Thanks: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=208579

OMG It's no longer unnecessarily mode switching when I start a 3d app. It always used to change resolution or go blank or something causing my projector to annoyingly resync. It's not doing that anymore now, at least not while running the nvidia logo test.

EDIT: Oh btw first install I bluescreened. Then I tried again after reboot and it worked. Because I have had troubles in the past reuiring me to install the driver twice before everything worked, I just started the installer again, and got a bluescreen again. Then after reboot I started setup a 4th time and everything went ok. Seems it works only half the time? :P

Photo vision photo viewer doesn't give option for slide show anymore. Nvision video player wont work full screen or window for me. (well got it to work once but now it wont work again). I have gtx570's in sli, Windows 7 64. Have tried with and without sli activated. After much jiggling finally got nvision live to work (sort of.. switches to wierd text version of website with a video window you have to click on for example to play dolphin tale preview) . All in all these features worked better before this Beta and having to switch to and from SLI is atrocious.

I had this bug as well, but I found out that it was because of Google Chrome. Once I exited Chrome the 3DVision tab became speedy as usual.
Try closing Chrome or you other web browser.

Same here. It's always greyed out, either with SLI enabled or disabled.
