it really depends on the card some seem to run better on 304 series some better on 305.. only way to tell what works best for anyone is try both and test it out:)

the difference between default and supersampling to me is very subtle.. for me I judge how well a game runs if I can spin the camera in 360 degrees over and over in differn't spots without any stutter or framerate spikes.. doing this gives me smooth play pretty much anywhere.. I find with supersampling I get hitches when doing this and more frequent FPS spikes.. this is why I say supersampling is not worth it IMHO

 It is pretty subtle, but on the other hand, I hvaen't spent a lot of time spinning the camera 360 degrees repeatedly, so I hadn't noticed any hitching. :D

... and I literally can't tell the difference between 58 fps and 52 fps, but I did seem to notice some texturing improvements with the supersampling.

I'll try the spinny thing, now I'm curious. :)

Do not use 301.42.

Go into the beta section and get latest.

304.something.

301.42 was locking up on me also in GW2, and once it did it was like that in every game until I do a restart. Wracked my brains with video adjustments with no luck. First time I've had a graphics issue since I built the box about a year ago.  I've installed the nvidia beta driver 304.79 hopfully at head start it helps.

I always feel that these type of posts are trolls, if you got a flagship card you should atlest be aware that you run into different problems than affordable cards.

Anyways, dual gpu cards will usually run into driver problems with new games. You can change your settings with the SLI configuration since new games aren't usually optimized for it.

I'd monitor performance with either MSI afterburner or NVIDIA precision, check GPU useage and Temps when you are playing the game. I doubt it's bottlenecking on the CPU.

What mobo and psu are you using? from the Crysis and the BF3 fps that you're getting, it really just seems that you need to wait for a driver update, if not try out older drivers and see if anything changes.

I disagree about the troll comment, usually I find technical issues with pcs on forums from fellow gamers to be more helpful then the manufacturer site. Of course like any forum weeding through the bs is expected.

nVidia is releasing new drivers next week to specifically address GW2 issues. The game is also still not fully optimized and is very cpu dependent, pretty much no-one is getting 60+ fps in big fights.

Your current drivers, 301.42, have an issue with GW2 that causes a roughly 30% performance loss. Upgrade to 304.79 beta for a sizeable fps boost.

GW2 is a very CPU intenst game, I would bet money you are getting those FPS in crowded areas (CPU intensive). Overclock the CPU and you should see improvements.

Are you a real necromancer?

Necro threads much?

The OP never got back tothis after he downloaded the new drivers.  I'm asuming they fixed the issue.
