Hi, just curious to know if there are other with the now somewhat older 6800 series cards using the newer 163 series drivers. Has anyone with the 6800 series cards noticed any benifites using these newer drivers? Iam getting these anoying micro stutters in my sim after a reformat on the drive...before the reformat, my sim was runing smooooooth. Trying to figure things out here.I sim started to get these micro stutters once I installed GE Pro textures on it. Funny thing is, my comp was running great with the Asus mobo, then I fried my mobo installing memory, and had a friend install another mobo (Biostar) wich happned to have the same chipset as my asus mobo (Nvidia Nforce3 250Gb) so windows booted right back up where I left of. My sim ran perfect then too, smooth as butter. Now after I got a virus, I reformated my machine and installed the Chipset from the Biostar mobo CD and Im getting micro stutters in my sim. Very anoying when I was running perfect before the reformat. Can anyone help me with what could be causing these "hicups". I installed the sim by istelf and it ran smooth with everything default...installed GE Pro and get micro stutters.I have:Ge ProUltimate Terrain USA/CanadaActive Sky 6.5Radar Contact 4.3Thanks,Bill
