New 313.95 drivers came out for Nvidia card holders that not only boost the Crysis 3 beta which releases tomorrow by up to 65% but they also boost 670 performance in games like AC III by a whopping 28%

Find them here

You can get the beta early right now instead of waiting by following these stepshowever you will still have to wait to download as it doesn't unlock until tomorrow

Got it, thanks :D

I got one, thanks!

Can't wait to try it tomorrow. I'm quite hyped for Crysis 3, but I'm more interested in the single player.

No problem dudes, has anyone been able to start downloading it yet? Mine is blanked out saying I still have to wait, but I've heard of others that are downloading it :?

Same, but the betas are always good places to test performance a bit.

COOL BEANS!

Can't wait to see it destroy my Rig

Yeah, especially since nobody makes demos anymore.

Wonder how a single 680 GTX will fare with this game. What I've seen from the tech presentation looked insane, especially the vegetation and water effects. This time no one can really claim that they're not giving the PC version the proper treatment, thats for sure :P

Definitely, the tech behind it is leagues ahead of what was in Crysis 2 even. It's nothing huge either it's just a bunch of little things. Moving vegetation, rippling water with perfect reflections and the environments are so dense with detail. It's incredible.

If you go here you can see the Crysis 3 stats for different cards as well as some other stuff

Well dayum. I need to ditch this amd card.

Nvidia work super hard on Driver support and release them very regularly, it's one of the reasons I stick with them.

God dammit. Where do you live?

Well that's just not fair! How big is the download?acanofcoke

Life's not fair! And it's about 3.4 gbs. I wonder why they tested every card around the 670, except for the 670 on those beta tests. Guess I'll find out for myself but that seems odd.

God dammit. Where do you live?seanmcloughlin

Holy crap guys I can play now! I just played a session! Screens forthcoming!UCF_Knight

You sir are an A-hole :P

I wanted to play but if it's 3.4 gigs then I will have to download overnight. I fvcking hate where I live and this abysmal internet

These drivers better not be like 310.90 which f***s up SLI for 670, 680 and 690 to prevent Windows from starting.

Wait so we need to steal the ID of some poor German lady to get access to an early beta key?

Well something fvcked up my system and Nvidia drivers won't install anymore, even if I roll back. Can't access my control panel or anything and every time I try to install now they say "Driver install failed" or some sh!t :?

Enjoy my screens!

UCF_Knight

Meh, doesn't look all that great but it IS multiplayer. The real meat will be SP

Sorry, I just thought this chain of events was amusing :P (sucks you're having issues though).

UCF_Knight

The fact that there isn't vaseline crysis 2 style anti-aliasing already makes the game look 10x better.

Here this is a bit better.

It's nice but a bit drab and lifeless looking

Highest I have ever hit with steam was 1.0mb/s :(

That's MB not mb.

Does anyone know if I need to redownload this if I have the Crysis3 MP Alpha already installed?

That's MB not mb.

Whatever, we all knew what it meant

I didn't think the key trick would work, so thanks TC. However, I can't download it. I know you aren't supposed to be able to, so did you guys do anything to get it to start or did it do it on it's own?
