    Hey guys,

    when i try and load the BF3 Beta on my rig (in sig) it says my 560TI drivers are at version 280.26 and the minimum version to play it on is 285.27 or similar.

    Checking the nvidia website shows that 285.27 are beta drivers? Is that correct that i have to have beta drivers to play BF3?

    Help :)

    Matt

    Not sure if you definelty need them or not but you might aswell go ahead and just downloaded them so that you have them.

    Yes you need those beta drivers. I have a similar rig and the game prompted me to get the drivers before I could even start playing.

    you dont need the beta drivers what so ever.when it promps you for them just close it. ive been trying some old drivers and the highest frame rate i got was from drivers released in april this year, cant remember the version, but even though i got high frames it seemed a bit stuttery so just using the beta ones now.

    My bad, I just presumed it needed them. I didn't want to mess with it before I even got to play a game, however it didn't turn out that way!
