nVidia Owners. I found a way to bump up performance.

[Guest]

I have had notable problems before with certain revisions of their cards drivers. Some have brought FS2002 to its knees while others shine. I have found my optimal version. Running before at a whopping 5-7 PFS in 2D only, I rolled back to 29.42.After reverting back, my FPS problem is GONE. 14-18 on the VC and close to 20 on the 2D (no cabin on all).Gotta love nVidia, I swear.http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=winxp-2k_29.42Here is my celebration shot. :-)http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/20642.jpgSystem as an FYI: P42.4 533 / 1GB 333 PC2700 / GF FX5200 128MB...Good Day.http://www.clearedasfiled.com/images/simpics/cirrus.jpgwww.flightfactory-simulations.comHomepage at www.clearedasfiled.com!

I am fond of my 44.03s :D

Hey, whatever works!This happened to be a good driver for me to run home to. I have not tried your version but it very well could be just as good performance wise.All I know is that the latest version obviously was killing me. This is not a first on my system for this to occur. I had the same crap results before I upgraded the GPU so bad drivers definitely do not discriminate.Happy Flying. I

Jay,that is an AMAZING screenshot! It really deserves to be posted in the screenshot forum... ;-)Thanks for sharing!

[Guest]

Sorry Marc,I can delete it and move it if you wish.I couldn

[Guest Marc Harrington]

Oh no, you can keep it here. I wasn't implying that you should move it, simply that the screenshot could be posted in the screenshot forum as well because it's so good!Cheers!

Hello Jay, I tried to install the 29.42s but when I did my screen would have a small flicker and fs2002 runs slower. I deleated my 737 by accident so I have to wait for a new reg, but i lost 3 FPS on my C172 with the 29.42. So I rolled back to the stock 21.93. I dont know but of all the sets I have tried, the stock 21.93s are the only ones that do not FLICKER.....My card below....Video Adapter Properties Device Description NVIDIA 64MB DDR GeForce3 Ti 200 (Dell)Adapter String GeForce3 Ti 200BIOS String Version 3.20.0016Chip Type GeForce3 Ti 200DAC Type Integrated RAMDACInstalled Drivers nv4_disp (5.13.01.2193 - nVIDIA Detonator 21.93)Memory Size 64 MB Marc

You could maybe try 44.03 as mentioned above by ba747heavy. I merely suggest that playing with the drivers may produce the results you are looking for. Like I said, I have had a bittersweet history with nVidia drivers and adjusting them on my system has paid off in full. If you are getting poor performance, this seems to be the way to go.Good luck! I hope it works for you. This jet is really enjoyable at my new frames. I have had a blast with it and its systems....Good Day.http://www.clearedasfiled.com/images/simpics/cirrus.jpgwww.flightfactory-simulations.comHomepage at www.clearedasfiled.com!

[Guest]

Yeah I need to try all of them, I am just learning about computers so I thank you for any help you or anybody else gives me. I might go to a class at Georgetown U. for computers. Hold on, thats a med school, never mind, I will try U of DC or GWU.Marc

Well, have a look here and find your best nvidia driver yoi may like...http://www.guru3d.comIt's the only place where I get my driver and I had never any problems with the GF4 and these drivers...

[Guest Rob]

Just a warning: these driver don't work with 8x AGP Graphics Cards. I've had this problem before. Any of the older model GeForce cards: these are perfect.

[Guest Boaz]

Nope sorry I have that installed already!!!Too low frame rates!!!Boaz...

[Guest]

Actually, the older version I mentioned earlier works just fine on my FX5200 8x 128MB card. Now, its possible that throughput on 8x may be an issue or they may only address 4x throughput but if your frame rates improve, I could care less if it is 2x.Thanks....Good Day.http://www.clearedasfiled.com/images/simpics/cirrus.jpgwww.flightfactory-simulations.comHomepage at www.clearedasfiled.com!
