Some testing has been done to find fog giving frame hits in DCS with the latest nvidia drivers anyone else have this ?

[razo+r]

376.19 and i didn't feel anything about any frame loss...

[Datek]

Oh yes I felt it. Huge hit with fog using the latest drivers.

 

Edit-actually it seems like a huge hit fog or not on the ground. All is well up in the air.

good to know...so i will not bother with installing the drivers then.

Yes, I notices exactly the same a few weeks ago...fog in 1.5 causes a big fps drop. Sadly, now I upgraded to a 1070 so cant compare but as I said, YES, you are not crazy, there seems to be something weird going on with fog now.

[Coxy_99]

Maybe a bug? I have a 1080 and get huge fps hits

Nvidia drivers? Perhaps new is not always better? My older 368.39 driver with GTX980ti has no problem with fog in 1.5.5.59992 :thumbup:

Yeah NV drivers have been increasingly crappy recently. With all the data mining and stuff I am trying to find the last good batch.

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

Yes, there are some problems with nvidia drivers...take a look at my post here about drivers problems:

After upgrading to a 1070 a few days ago, I just realized that it struggles to maintain 60fps over nevada at max settings at 2560x1080. I can swear you, I flew exactly the same mission with my old 970 at exactly the same settings (also in nvcp) and I got 60fps!!!!...after updating to 372.54 I couldnt barely get 30fps and the card was crazy hot...now with the 1070 I can barely maintain 60 fps which makes my wonder if I would have get like 120fps with the 1070 if performance were the same as it was...

Try turning Threaded Optimization in the Nvidia Control Panel off. It works great in X plane 11.

[Coxy_99]

Will see testing now.

I'm using 376.33 with great performance under 1.5 and 2.0, but in 1.5 sometimes GPU and CPU are at low usage and fps drops below 50 fps or so. I'll try Threaded Optimization.

I've always run dcs in 3072x768 surround mode on 2 4gb 670's in sli, tonight I switched to 5760x1200 and the frames dropped by more than half. from 60fps to around 25-28. driver version 376.33

 

I dont know if that would ber expected in moving to that resolution or if the driver is to blame. Should dcs look better at 5760x1200 over 3072x768?

Does anyone have latest drivers 378.66 with GTX1070?

[PicksKing]

Does anyone have latest drivers 378.66 with GTX1070?

 

Yes, I do. Any issues? Works fine to me.

[f-18hornet]

Yes, I do. Any issues? Works fine to me.

 

Thanks for info. Just wanted to know if there are any FPS drops.

What about debug mode on the 10xx cards now ? finally disabled or still enabled ?

 

Guru3d.com says this 378.77 release is a hotfix for the debug mode left on on 10xx cards with 378.66 but some say it is still turned on with this release.

 

Running 378.66 myself with excellent fps..blown away by the fps ....and debug is OFF for my Maxwell GPU :D

 

I dont want this .77 update...it just runs smooth as is.

 

 

QUOTE Guru3d.com:

 

Download the Nvidia GeForce GameReady 378.77 Hotfix driver as released by NVIDIA.

 

This is GeForce Hot Fix driver version 378.72. This GeForce driver fixes installation errors for laptops with GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 ti GPUs, fixes a crash in Minecraft and some other Java-based titles and (once again) they left the debug mode on and Resolved 'Debug Mode' as default option on Pascal based GPUs. Debug modes can slow down performance and write log files continiously.
