If you�ve got a GeForce card or an SLI set up you�ll want to look into the new GeForce beta drivers (285.38), which can increase performance in the game by up to 38%.  They�ve added a new version of the Battlefield 3 SLI profile to provide the absolute best performance if you have a multi-GPU machine.

Battlefield 3 requires a lot of GPU power for the best performance.  NVIDIA is suggesting you run their Analyzer (www.geforce.com/GamesandApps/games/battlefield-3/GPUAnalyzer) to make sure your rig meets the recommended specifications.

The 285.38 beta drivers are also the ones to get if you’re planning to play id Software’s Rage next month. The long-awaited game is the first new intellectual property from id Software in many years and marks an evolution of the studio’s design style, previously having made linear ‘corridor shooters.’ With fantastic graphics, a lengthy storyline, co-op, and multiplayer, Rage is a feature-packed release that offers fantastic value in a time of ever-shorter games.

The 285.38 beta drivers also include 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.
