CrashEd Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Just got one of these for DX11 support in readiness for the release of the A-10C. Question is, what are the best drivers for this card that are compatible with nHancer? Are the latest drivers ok or are there better, previous drivers?
Havok Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 unfortunately updates dont always equal better. I purchased the 470 and now fsx runs slower but FC faster. Thats going to be a tuff problem to find the answer to unless you only care about one game engine to use it with. I would love to know if you get a definitive, working answser on that one...
CrashEd Posted August 28, 2010 Author Posted August 28, 2010 unfortunately updates dont always equal better. Yes, hence the original question. GFX card technology will always progress and even PMDG are suggesting the GTX4XX series for there current and up and coming products, so it is inevitable that cards of this kind will be used in the future. Would be interested if anyone is successfully using this card (or 4XX series) with nHancer.
CrashEd Posted August 28, 2010 Author Posted August 28, 2010 Ok, I found an excellent solution to the problem of there not being a new version of nHancer for the latest 258.xx drivers for the GTX4xx series of cards. It is a binary workaround that NickN has written which applies the nHancer settings without having to use nHancer. Bare in mind that these settings only work for FSX (also seem to work well for FC2 and BS as well). Follow Nick's instructions here: http://www.simforums.com/forums/nhancer-for-25715-and-25721-updated_topic34873_page1.html I've just tried it out and it almost eliminates all of the horrible shimmering that you get without nHancer. Frame rates barely drop below 50 in FC2 for me and it looks great :D Very happy indeed :D:D Thought that my new GFX aquisition was a bad one without the support from nHancer. Thank god there are people like NickN around :beer:
