NVIDIA FXAA Technology – shader-based anti-aliasing technology available from the NVIDIA Control Panel that enables ultra-fast anti-aliasing in hundreds of PC games. FXAA delivers similar quality to 4x multi-sample antialiasing (MSAA) but is up to 60% faster, enabling substantially higher performance in games. FXAA is supported on all GeForce 8-series and later GPUs.
NVIDIA Adaptive Vertical Sync – dynamically enables vertical sync based on your current frame rates for the smoothest gaming experience. Adaptive VSync is supported on all GeForce 8-series and later GPUs.
NVIDIA Frame Rate Target – dynamically adjusts frame rate to a user specified target. Support for this feature is enabled via third party applications via NVAPI.

Win7 64bit

I've been using this driver and its working really really well.

Last 301 Beta had a 3D clock issue. If I ran a game after my PC had been running for a long time, the cards would get stuck in 2d clocks. So far didn't face it with this driver and BF3 has been running uber smooth.

Anyone tried the adaptive VSYNC? I didn't try it yet cause I have no games which I use VSYNC in atm. If you use it, does it stutter when it auto enables/disables VSYNC?

tried with Crysis 2.....gameplay is super smooth BUT fps gets locked @ 30 after enabling it (no tearing,stutters etc) but um not sure whether Crysis 2 officially supports it or not but the point is it makes gameplay xperience much better....the visuals seems slipping like butter
Adaptive Vsync overrides in game VSYNC no matter whether if its on/off
But anyways KUDOS to Nvidia cuz ADAPTIVE Vsync is just too good...its better and efficient nd normal VSYNC ,hope future titles make use of this feature

EDIT::forgot to mention......there's also one disadvantage um not sure whether its a bug or not cuz Adaptive VSYNC effects on GPU usage...after enabling it the GPU usage came down to 75-80% may be since Crysis 2 was running @ smooth 30fps(locked) it was not necessary to utilize the GPU to its full potential...but um not sure may be some one could test this out..

It's not game dependent, its forced through the driver just most other NVCPL settings. Sad thing is Kepler users are having VSYNC issues lol.

But why will it be locked at 30? Did you select half refresh rate? Cause its not supposed to be enabled unless FPS is over 60 or 30 (half refresh rate).

yeah um pretty sure its the Adaptive* option i selected in NCP.....yeah like u mentioned 30 Fps should be with half refresh rate
BUG?

I liked the Frame Rate Target thing, now i can lock fps at 50, enough for me.

If the target thingy causes stutters for you, use MSI AB to cap the FPS at 50 instead. That's universal and works with AMDs as well.
