HDMI color range switch, FINALLY :). This is very good news, thanks for pointing this out John 🙂
I read on the Ubisoft forums that this driver improves performance with Assassins Creed Unity by 5-10fps.
I can confirm i got about 7-8 FPS more depending on the area getting 45 average now 1440p maxed out with sweetfx minus soft shadows on single 970
it does even in congested areas with everything on ultra I get a avg of 42/45fps as for the performance patch I have not updated it yet
3D Compatibility Mode = driver-based 3D? I guess this means that Nvidia 3D Vision is nearly dead. New games simply don’t support N3DV so now the drivers ‘fake it’.
I’m going to test this in Far Cry 4 and get back to you.
I was hoping for an improvement with far cry 4
