Nvidia ForceWare 295.51 Released; Adds SLI profile for Red Faction: Armageddon and Kingdoms of Amalur

I can’t believe it but Nvidia has finally found a way to enable SLI in Red Faction: Armageddon. Volition had stated back then that the game was not working properly with multi-GPUs and as a result, there wasn’t any workaround for that. It seems though that the release of Saints Row: The Third was enough for Nvidia to figure out a way to enable SLI in that old title. Alongside this SLI profile, Nvidia has included some other profiles for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Oil Rush, as well as some 3D profiles.

Look and behold; new versions of EVGA Precision and MSI Afterburner come with a Frame Limiter

Remember a while ago when we informed you about the frame limiter that was hidden in Nvidia’s ForceWare drivers? Well, good news for everyone as the latest versions of both EVGA Precision and MSI Afterburner come with a new, Frame Limiter option. What is really interesting here though, is that the algorithm for this limiter is entirely different from the one found on the latest Nvidia drivers. This basically means that the Frame Limiter works with more games, with any NVIDIA driver version and any hardware (both AMD and NVIDIA). Yeap, that’s right AMD fans, you can use the frame limiter. Rejoice. Oh, and no more stuttering for our Nvidia friends! Continue reading Look and behold; new versions of EVGA Precision and MSI Afterburner come with a Frame Limiter

Nvidia introduces a Frame Rate Limiter in its latest ForceWare drivers

Although we knew that Nvidia would introduce a new feature to its ForceWare drivers, we didn’t expect to find it hidden in the latest ForceWare 290.53. This new feature is called Frame Rate Limiter and as its title suggest, it can limit your framerate to a specific value. Unfortunately, the Frame Rate Limiter is not present on Nvidia’s Control Panel, therefore you’ll need Nvidia’s Inspector Tool, a third-party program, to enable it. How does this work and why would someone want to limit his framerate? Keep reading to find out why. Continue reading Nvidia introduces a Frame Rate Limiter in its latest ForceWare drivers

Rumor: Nvidia to skip 6xx series; GTX780 to offer 100% performance boost over GTX580

I love it, I simply love it. A few hours ago we posted some rumored slides of the upcoming AMD high-end card, Radeon 7970, and here comes some leaks from Nvidia’s next generation high-end graphics card. As we said and in our previous post, take everything you’re about to read and see with a grain of salt. According to the slide – leaked in the Chinese board PCINLife – Nvidia will skip the 6xx series and will move on to the 7xx series. Now the following slide of GTX780 seems suspicious, as it’s similar to the one of Radeon 7970 that was posted earlier, but shows a 100% performance boost over GTX580. Continue reading Rumor: Nvidia to skip 6xx series; GTX780 to offer 100% performance boost over GTX580
