    nV GeForce 304.79 BETA up

    New beta driver up, mainly adds TXAA support (specifically for The Secret World) and some additional fixes.

    From the release notes:

    This is the second beta driver from the R304 family of drivers and the first GeForce driver to combine support for Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista into a single driver.

    New in 304.79 Drivers:

    Adds support for NVIDIA TXAA

    • NVIDIA TXAA is new film-style anti-aliasing technique designed specifically to reduce temporal aliasing (crawling and flickering in motion) through a combination of hardware AA, custom CG film style AA resolve, and a temporal filter.
    • The Secret World is the first game to support TXAA (support will be enabled in an upcoming patch)..
    • TXAA is supported on GeForce GTX 600-series Kepler-based GPUs.
    • Learn more about TXAA on GeForce.com.

    New SLI Support

    Adds or updates the following SLI profiles:
    • The Secret World - added
    • End of Nations - added
    • Nexuiz (also provided earlier via NVIDIA Update)
    • Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier (also provided earlier via NVIDIA Update)
    • Tornado Force - added
    • Tribes: Ascend - updated

    Key Fixes
    • Fixed a compatibility issue with Civilization V and GeForce 400/500 series GPUs
    • Fixed instances of flickering or missing mouse cursor when hardware cursor is enabled (reported with Aion, World of Warcraft, Eve Online and others).
    • Fixed instances of very low frame rates in Deus Ex: Human Revolution (DX11).
    • Fixed an issue that caused a PC reboot instead of a PC shut down.
    • Fixed an issue that led to a black screen after driver installation.
    • Power management mode settings now persist across driver overinstalls.

    These are good drivers indeed. Each new driver for GTX 680 is going to carry some bug and performance improvement while the card is considered new, especially if it is a different chip.

    I'm using the Windows 8 preview and just got these drivers. SLI is no longer showing as an option. Anyone having this problem?

    Working well for me in Skyrim and Shogun 2, and actually cured some random CTDs i'd been having in Skyrim with 304.48.

    These also gave a 500 point boost in 3DMark11 compared to my previous drivers, which were 301.something.

    I heard SLI users got up to 1000 points in 3DMark11, so 500 points makes sense! It means that I can join 11K club!
