Looks like Nvidia released new Forceware drivers yesterday 56.72. Has anyone tried them yet? Did they resolve the AA issue from the lat version 56.64?Thanks in advance,JD

Haven't tried them yet. The problem with the AA issue (and I'm assuming the issue to which you refer was the dramatic slowing or locking up after pressing print screen to take a screen shot) was described in the release notes:"To accommodate applications that request use of the front buffer, the NVIDIA software can provide the antialiased data in a buffer to the application. Since this negates the advantages of the NVIDIA hardware capability, this support is enabled only when antialiasing is enabled within the application, and not from the NVIDIA control panel. In all cases when antialiasing is enabled, screen images as well as screen captures obtained using the Print Screen key are always antialiased."I think that if you set the nVidia control panel to "application controlled" and then turn on AA from within FS9, no slow down. Of course, turning AA on in FS9 introduces its own problems... I have learned to live the one second pause I get when taking screenshots. Rather have a smoother ride with AA enabled in the NVCP instead of FS. I am lucky that I don't get lockups in that case, I guess.Please someone jump in if I'm off the mark here...If you have an FX5950 and you were referring to 8xAA not working in FS9, I think that's fixed. I don't have an FS5950 or a computer powerful enough to use 8xAA, so I can't test it for you.Best,sg

JD,>Looks like Nvidia released new Forceware drivers yesterday>56.72. Has anyone tried them yet? Did they resolve the AA>issue from the lat version 56.64?>I just went to the Nvidia.com website and the latest driver for Win98 is still the 56.64!Stupid me didn't bother to check ( maybe it's an update for Win XP )EDIT: Yes I checked; it is for WIN XP / 2000 :-)So for all you dinasaurs,like me, don't get too excited. It ain't for us. Roger.

I took the plung, after being so happy with 30.82, gave 56.72 a shot, also mostly cause you need the 50 series to play Battlefield Vietnam, and I must say very good so far, most games are just as smooth, but look better, FS, I lost 2 or 3 FPS at the most but still smooth, getting around 16 or so.

Hi Kurt,>> also mostly cause you need the 50 series to play Battlefield Vietnam <

Definately a retrograde step as far as my system is concerned . 56.72 produced a drop in fps of about 10%- no other visible effects. Back to 56.64.Dave

Ya know, I might just set that up, I will need a least a couple days of free time though, but might give it a try.

Downloaded them today and they work fine. I tested them with SimCity 4 and a few game demos but I haven't tried them with FS yet. Rumor has it on Guru3d that nVidia is due to release the 6x.xx drivers soon. Only the driver version was accidently leaked so no more info on these yet.

I find them to be equal in performance, superior in image quality, to the 53.03s and a little more steady than the 56.64s.Your mileage may vary.best,sg

Starstorm-modified 56.72 drivers are now available in several flavours.www.guru3d.comAllcott
