August 22, 201114 yr Hi all,Okay so nVidia has released it's latest 280.xx drivers. Over at the PMDG forums, users have reported that the new drivers have caused performance to almost half by installing these new drivers clean. After a little bit of research, it seems that nVidia drivers version 270.61 work best in FSX at the moment. So my advice is to head over to nVidia and download the 270.61 drivers for your card, run the installer, choose custom install. Tick the box for clean/fresh install and revert back to these drivers. Remember, you will have to redo inspector/control panel settings for FSX once you've done this.

August 22, 201114 yr Author According to some guys at PMDG the 270.61 drivers run better.

August 22, 201114 yr One person has said that, and it's almost certainly a problem on his end somewhere. There's nothing wrong with the latest drivers at all. If there was, it would effect all of us. Usually any perceived performance/stability changes between drivers are purely placebo, as nvidia don't make any changes to things that will affect FSX. i7 2600k @ 5.1Ghz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz, EVGA GTX 580 @ 950MHz, OCZ Vertex II 240GB, ASUS Xonar DG, Thermaltake Toughpower XT 875W PSU, Antec KÜHLER 620 W/C, Corsair 600T SE White My FS9 Screens - http://fs9screens.blogspot.com/ Callum Richardson

August 23, 201114 yr Oh, now I gotta re-install. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
September 8, 201114 yr Is it still necessary to scrub all remnants of the old drivers before installing the new. Haven't upgraded in a while. I used to upgrade everything as soon as new ones came out., but I'm starting to move to the "if in ain't broke don't fix it" school of thought... Steve Giblin
September 9, 201114 yr Author yes. With NVidia drivers there is a fresh install option under custom install Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?
