New Nvidia Drivers Increase Battlefield 3 Ultra Settings Performance By 11%

With less than a day to go before Battlefield 3 officially launches, Nvidia dropped some last minute drivers on gamers who need that absolute edge when running Battlefield 3 on Ultra and want all 60fps popping like no game has popped before.

Battlefield 3 isn’t the only game getting some performance loving from Nvidia, aside from the 11% performance boost for DICE’s new FPS, there are also some changes made in the 285.62 WHQL drivers for boosted SLI support and enhancements for the upcoming PC rendition of Batman: Arkham City and RAGE.

According to Blues, Nvidia stated that….

For Battlefield 3 we’ve improved performance by up to 11% since the release of the GeForce 285.38 beta drivers, have included several compatibility enhancements, a new and improved SLI profile, and a 3D Vision profile. Similarly, Rage has received enhancements since the release of the same drivers, and Batman: Arkham City compatibility has been implemented.

As mentioned, updates contained within the earlier beta drivers have been carried over, such as the many performance improvements made to games --between the release of the 280.26 WHQL drivers and today’s 285.62 WHQL drivers-- when running on our entire range of 500-Series graphics cards.

I hope I’m not the only one who gets all giddy with excitement and feel my insides turn to puddy when reading about GTX 590 specs? Well, the new drivers increases compatibility with all things Nvidia GTX 500 series and there are more details and info on the cards and the driver settings over at the Official Website.

Battlefield 3 launches tomorrow on the 25th for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. If you want that extra boost to experience the definitive version of BF3 on those Ultra settings, be sure to download the new Nvidia update.
