DylanM > thanks, i will try it tomorrow or this week-end

 

If Nvidia abandons fsx it will be the end of FSX because gtx7XX, gtx 8XX will not work ...

 

But i don't think that they going to do that, because Nvidia supports even 2000's old games, so don't worry. First this not a WHQL driver, i think this depends on peoples rigs, motherboards, softwares, OS ... It seems that some people get 310.7 driver work finely, others not, like me.

Loaded the new driver and had instant huge stutters, texture flashing and then a total screen freeze, followed by a crash. It's a bad brew whatever it is.

 

Kind regards,

I saw now that new WHQL, i still have 310.70 BETA which works good. When i instaled this driver for the first time there was a 1 fsx crash, but probably not related to this driver, i fixed some fsuipc problems and everything is fine now. But after reading this thread, i don't know, should i go for new WHQL? Anyone else had any problems with it?

Works fine for me and surprisingly, my system is a little smoother, not by a huge margin but enough to be noticeable.

I installed and tested new whql 310.70, no problems so far

So how/where can I get older drivers from, for my GTX670 guys?

RCITGuy, the older drivers are under the beta / Legacy drivers section of the driver search page. And to anyone using 16X AF and still getting spiking, turning the filtering level to "quality" and enabling Anisotropic Sample Optimization and Trilinear Optimization really helped on my system (with no perceptible change in image quality). Hope this is handy.

Man am I glad I found this. I just installed a GTX560 TI over the weekend and my current driver is 306.97. The check for updates advised me about availability of 310.70 but I did not update to it yet, I just deselected "check for updates" in the NVIDIA Control Panel. My Program and Game Profiles shows a date of 12/16/2012 which is my installation date.

I'm sure NVIDIA wouldn't just purposely stop supporting FSX, but what if they developed a new driver for the newest games, which unintentionally just doesn't work well for FSX? And FSX is relatively so small compared to other games, that NVIDIA couldn't care less. But I hope to be wrong of course.

If it's not broke don't fix it. It gets me in trouble nearly every time. I have spent more time fixing something that wasn't broke before I tried to get the phantom, hoped for, maybe improvement.

OK I'll bite, downloading now and I will report later....I think I have the best cutting edge technology computer to run this driver though...

OK after testing FSX, Crysis 2, Call of Duty and some old *** games it's a keeper for me, no lock up, no weird artifacts....nothing.

 

Window 7 work the same, I have not tested it on a long flight with FSX but as usual I pushed the graphics to the max when testing, all good, by the way I did a clean install using Nvidia, no driver sweeper or stuff like that.

Alain old friend,

 

Just saw your PC specs. You're nuts! :Doh:

 

Kind regards,

Yes Alain I have never heard of such a thing!........but the driver works on my low end system.

For me it's business as usual with this 310.70 drivers, which means: no issues, not worse, not better, just the same as always.

 

By the way i update when Nvidia Configuration tells me there is a new update available (no driver sweeping, no Beta's) and i never had any driver issue since i bought this computer in september 2011.

 

Looks like some computers really do move in mysterious ways .........

Happy Nvidia owner :dance:

Tried them with my Nvidia Surround. Had immediate issues. Went back to my 306.97's and issues were immediately gone. Problem solved.
