GriffonBR Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Well, I did some quick tests and there is no difference between the 310.90 and the 314.07 in performance on DCS World. Clusters bombs and rockets effects still killing the FPS. Apart from that, my FPS still the same in normal conditons. 45-60. My rig. i5 2500k@4.2ghz + GTX 670 Windforce 3X and 8GB of ram.

Python Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I did no scientific tests but I noticed no difference at all in real time performance. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
elchacal Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks I'll try it! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
joey45 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Because DCS is more CPU not GPU.. Do tests that rely on the GPU more.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

GriffonBR Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Because DCS is more CPU not GPU.. Do tests that rely on the GPU more.. Thats not the point, man. I was using a other driver that I don´t remember the version right now and that was giving to me a terrible performance. Just When I installed the 310.90 for my GTX 670 I was able to play FC3 with a good FPS, except when I use cluster weapons and rockets.

joey45 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 The clusters and rockets FPS hit is engine code.. i.e. the devs need to optimise the code.

Lange_666 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 It's always tempting to try a new one just to see if you don't gain half an FPS... in 99% of the cases it's not even that. If you don't have a newer type of card (600 range), upgrading drivers in general don't bring anything performance wise and if they do, it's mostly for games that are "pushed" by either nVidia or ATI to perform better (read popular FPS games, currently Far Cry 3 etc... i have never seen DCS or whatever flightsim on those lists).

Aries Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I saw some cloud flickering with these new 314.07 drivers... do you have any? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] ...the few, the proud, the remaining...
sslechta Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I installed 314.07 drivers on my PC today. No noticeable issues on FC3 at this point.

Ramstein Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Best one yet... slight edge/ shadow crawling on some buildings and minor cloud flicker - gone so far, your is the first feedback for the latest NVidia drivers I have seen.. for flight sims.. 314.07. Plus since I have Win8, and read the official reviews,, I really need reviews from actual flight sims.. they never put flight sims in the official reviews, at least none I have seen from either AMD/Radeon or Nvidia... I am so tempted to try them... I just hate going back though my settings to make sure everything is set right.. I know my GTX460 Nvidia is a couple years old,, but I just put it in a brand new computer I built,, and am so tempted to give them a try.. :joystick: ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI (trying to hang on for a bit longer) 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR
Lange_666 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I am so tempted to try them... I just hate going back though my settings to make sure everything is set right.. I know my GTX460 Nvidia is a couple years old,, but I just put it in a brand new computer I built,, and am so tempted to give them a try.. I wouldn't bother and keep your current if it's performing without issues (graphical glitches etc...). You won't get extra performance out of them if you don't own a recent card which are not 100% uptimised just yet (and even then). Learned that through the years... PS: If you look at the update log you'll see thing like 60% performance gain in xxx-game, 40% in yyy-game etc... I have never seen such performance increases when updating a videodriver in any game, if you gain a % or 2, you are in a lucky seat. And... if you then look at the next driver, the same performance gain numbers are there again. Games like Crysis and Far Cry have had + 300% increase in performance if you count like that. Honestly... who's fooling who? PPS: That counts for other drivers to like chipset drivers or so. If you don't have a problem, leave it like it is. Through the years I upgraded my chipset drivers always to the last available once (some people won't even bother responding on some hardware forums on a topic if you say you don't have the latest stuff). Now, with my current fresh install of Windows 8, i use the default ones that come with Windows 8. These are from 2006 but honestly, i don't see any difference at all if i compare with those i had installed on my previous Windows 7. Nothing... So if it works... leave it like that. Also, the main reason why we want to upgrade is that none of us have really the hardware to use new games to their full potentional and even if you have the latest hardware, in most cases it takes a few years before you can actually crank everything up to full max and by then the game is old and passé and the circle starts again (with latest hardware i mean normal hardware, not 3-way SLI superwatercooled stuff where single graphics cards cost 1000$ because for 99% of the people out there, that is completely out of reach). It's a vicious circle... Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.

Python Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I just posted the following in the 1.2.3 thread, figured it might be worth re posting here to see if any Nvivia users have had and issues with the latest drivers? 'Okay, Ive had time to play a bit more, first thing that struck me is that ctrl, alt, tab no longer spawns a new aircraft for me, it is still set as such in the control menu? Also, I'm getting quite a few visual glitches, especially when on the ground, flickering lights, straight lines of colour on the ground and no ocean reflection in rear view mirrors etc, this however could be attributed to the latest Nvidia drivers which I installed about the same time as the 1.2.3 update. I'd be interested to see if anyone else has these problems?? Also the frame rate over all is certainly lower although it is very much playable still. Not a good update for me so far.'

Mustang Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Proabably needs a new thread but i noticed a new driver for you nvidia lot: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-314-14-beta-drivers-released "NVIDIA today rolled out a new set of beta drivers optimized for these SimCity, StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, Resident Evil 6, Hawken PhysX, and more, just two weeks after the release of the GeForce R313 Game Ready drivers for Crysis 3.

Python Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the heads up Mustang, it seems the GeForce Experience software doesn't notify you of Beta drivers, I'll install it manually tomorrow and see if I have more luck with it. Edit: scrap that, I just found the option box to include beta drives in the update check and its found and installed it. thanks again. Edited March 5, 2013 by Python [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
msalama Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Tried the new driver and junked it straightaway. No FPS gains whatsoever and my cockpit gauges looked like crap, all grainy and jaggy. So back to 306.97 I went ;) The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Ghanja Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Installed them yesterday and everything is fine in DCS-World (A10-C) but I do play FC2 sometimes and I did notice some annoying shimmering - seems to be an Aniso problem. It's not the famous coastline bug (remove cloud shadow is installed). Did anyone notice that too? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] .:: My System ::. .:: My Paintings ::.
Ramstein Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 well they released new drivers again: 314.22, but I still have 314.07. I am sticking with mine for now.
