New NVIDIA driver update 344.11.

A new driver update was released last night (I got it last night), yet it was posted for today. I noticed that the game actually runs a ton better with my GeForce 760 Ti. Another surprise is that it says that the new driver update has updated my DirectX 11 API to 11.2! However there is a new feature for the 900 series cards...

Dynamic Super Resolution
Implemented Dynamic Super Resolution for improved image quality in games.
Dynamic Super Resolution produces smoother images by rendering a game at a higher resolution and then downscaling it to the native resolution of the display using advanced filtering. Controls are available on the NVIDIA Control Panel->Manage3D Settings page.

You'll have to be a little more specific on what "a ton better" means...

Scored 12,842 on the Benchmark than my regular 9k. At maximum. I noticed some more special effects when I used abilities in the game, too. In case you forgot, I was also the one that pointed out last year when we had a driver update, that the Aetherytes had a blue glow to them, on a forum thread I made about a driver update. I forget which update it was then.

Thanks for this I've just downloaded. Soon to test with my 660 to see if I notice anything different!

Special effects meaning particle effects. Some of my magic is more flashy as I tried out all the spell I had at my current levels for my jobs.

Solid 5 FPS increase. Haven't noticed any different in particle effects yet though

I think the particles effects is from 2.38 updates because I didn't have 344.1 NVidia Drivers when I try out 2.38 and notice some particles effect is different right away, more of it and more flashy.

I notice NVidia Experience can improve Arch Age and many other game, it a shame why FFXIV Realm Reborn isn't supported.

Gonna updates the drivers now and see any improvement on my NVidia GTX 770.

It was supported on Christmas day of last year ;) Got onto my laptop that morning to check emails and saw there was an optimal profile update. Clicked it and I saw that FFXIV was supported.

I'm not seeing "Dynamic Super Resolution" option in 3D Setting. It is only supported by certain graphic card, though mine is pretty new. It's the NVidia 770 GTX.

DCR is only for 980 and 970 for now. They will bring those things to older and powerful cards later on.

GeForce experience supports FFXIV ARR and I have it there in my list. If you don't see it check your GeForce experiecne settings. GeForce experience just applies the in game settings instead of you. It's for those who don't know what setting to disable or enable to get better fps. It's not a big deal it's just an in game graphic setting automation tool by nVidia.

I downloaded the 344.11 drivers yesterday for my mbp. Also downloaded geforce experience, clicked optimize, ran the game. The game ran worse in optimized mode. First it bumped up my resolution to 1920 x 1080, then it disabled several graphic effecs and reduced texturing frm trilinear to bilinear. Was getting sub 30/fps. Revert brought performance back to normal. Maybe geforce experience isn't for notebooks. I'll try it on my desktop tonight.

Never run a game in nVidia's "optimized" mode. Take the extra time to set everything up yourself for how you like it and what runs well on your machine.
On a side note, EVGA Precision X 16 was also released. Just a warning for those that may use it, It f'ed up some fonts and made stuff on Chrome overly bold. Soooo take a pass on it until they fix that.
