New GeForce drivers for your Fallout 3: Broken Steel enjoyment.

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 01:37:13 Fri, May 08, 2009

Now that we can actually install and play Broken Steel on the PC, I though it might be a good idea to point out these new Nvidia drivers that improve performance when using antialiasing. Fallout 3 is one of those games that really does benefit from antialiasing so make sure to download these drivers and turn that AA on or up.

Here is the PC games improvement list for the GeForce 185.85 drivers:

Accelerates performance in several 3D applications. The following are examples of improvements measured with Release 185 drivers vs. Release 182 drivers (results will vary depending on your GPU, system configuration, and game settings):

 

     
  • Up to 25% performance increase in The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
  • Up to 22% performance increase in Crysis: Warhead with antialiasing enabled
  • Up to 11% performance increase in Fallout 3 with antialiasing enabled
  • Up to 14% performance increase in Far Cry 2
  • Up to 30% performance increase in Half-Life 2 engine games with 3-way and 4-way SLI
  • Up to 45% performance increase in Mirror’s Edge with antialiasing enabled

 

I finished up The Pitt last night so I will be downloading Broken Steel and these new drivers this weekend. See you all (I wish) in the Wasteland!

Heh this update is great, Ambient Occlusion adds some nice realism to games as well. Also fo some reason my IDLE GPU temps are lower after I got this update. No complaints here :D
