In advance of the Battlefield 3 closed beta which begins tomorrow, and the open beta which begins two days later, NVIDIA has released a new beta GeForce driver specifically aimed at improving performance with the game. According to the company’s tests, this driver can improve performance up to 38% compared to the recently-released 285.27 driver.
For those with SLI setups, a new profile has also been bundled here. For those still not certain their PC will be able to handle the game, NVIDIA recommends using its GPU Analyzer tool (also considered a beta) that will check your hardware and let you know whether you can run the game or not. It’s safe to say that the better and newer your PC and graphics card is, the better.
The 285.38 beta drivers also includes updated SLI profiles for Batman: Arkham City, Dead Island, Dragon Age II, and new profiles for Diablo III, Need for Speed: The Run and Saints Row: The Third.
