msalama Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Hiya, just a wee headsup if you don't mind - 1) V1.2.6 somehow broke my old FPS mod (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=101083) and some of the tweaks seem to cause stuttering now. So DO NOT use it anymore, but only tweak Config/graphics.lua and Config/terrain/[High|Medium|Low].lua for better results. 2) I upgraded my NVidia driver to 326.80, and that made a big difference to how v1.2.6 runs as well. It's a bloody night and day compared to the previous driver (the second-latest WHQL as I remember) I used to use, which OTOH strangely enough ran v1.2.5 very well. And that all for now - just so you know - S! 3 The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

El Hadji Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 326.80 did wonders. Still get some issues switching back to cockpit view from external at times though (cockpit takes several seconds to render) and on occasion the fps drops horribly (it gets WORSE with LESS objects rendered, i.e. flying at an altitude above the sea gives a lower fps than flying low over an airport).

Ghanja Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Using them with a 560 Ti and I am very pleased. DCS runs a lot smoother and they also solved my GTR2 problem - so far I like them ... :pilotfly: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] .:: My System ::. .:: My Paintings ::.
starsky396 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I think 326.80 is the first update Nvidia has released that actually fixed has something.

Lange_666 Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Installed them, don't see directly any problems but still fingers crossed because everything higher then 306.97 always resulted in an irregular "driver did not respond and has recovered" error. Took me a while to figure out that there was nothing wrong with any hardware and that it actually came from the driver and that once i installed any driver with a version number higher then 306.97 the error popped up. But up until now, they seem to run fine. Don't see much increase in performance on my GTX480 tough...

Hunden Ynk Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 I had the same problem on my 560ti with like any version past 270, but this one seems to work so far. And the word around the net is that AMD has crappy drivers. :noexpression:

monkie Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Installed 326.80 Beta as well Dual GT 650M's and I will say that the stutters that I had in 1.2.6 seem to have gone. Thanks for the tip. Sager Laptop, i7-6700k 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX 980M, 1920x1080, TIR 5, Windows 10
Ghanja Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 One thing that is strange though is the fact that I am suffering from random freezes (especially Outlook and IE) with these drivers - all I can do is a reset. I don't know if it's the drivers fault but I just noticed that these things were happening since I installed them. The game runs fine though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] .:: My System ::. .:: My Paintings ::.
GriffonBR Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Great advice, mate. These drivers really improved my DCS World, only the .50 cal still dropping the FPS.

Ghanja Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 OK, decided to ditch these drivers - I was just getting too much freezes in normal conditions (IE, Outlook, Desktop) so I uninstalled them and went back to the official drivers. Now things are running normal again but of course I lost the smoother gameplay in DCS ... :huh: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] .:: My System ::. .:: My Paintings ::.
Lange_666 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I think 326.80 is the first update Nvidia has released that actually fixed has something. After going from XP 32-bit to Win 7 64-bit FSX wouldn't run without annoying stutters. Whatever i tried, couldn't make it run smooth under Win 7. Same under Win 8. But now with these drivers installed, most of the stutter is gone and i have a playable FSX again. There still is some occational microstutter now and then but the difference between this driver and all the previous ones is hugh.

Lange_666 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Unlike the improvements in DCS and FSX, IL-2 COD went the other way. Just ran it this morning for the first time after installing these latest beta's and there's quite a bit of stutter which wasn't there with the 306.97 driver i had installed previously. Now IL-2 COD has never been stutter free for me, the first versions where horrible, after a few official and unofficial patches much of the stutter was seeded out but it still never felt smooth going low over the terrain even with high FPS numbers. But these betadrivers brought it back to square one. Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.

JayPee Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Don't know where you got that one but it says no compatible hardware found when installing. Also, when I use Nvidia.com's selection tool, these drivers don't show not.

Ghanja Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Just got home and checked the NVidia site - the drivers show up without problem ... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] .:: My System ::. .:: My Paintings ::.
