which drivers off the best fps?

Featured Replies

Right now I'm running 306.91 nivida drivers on my 660ti do any of the later drivers give fsx a fps boost?

I've never heard of any driver giving FSX an fps boost. A good driver may give you smooth(er) performance (or stutters if it's bad) but I have yet to see an noticable fps boost in FSX only due to a driver!

 

I am still using 301.42 which works best for me. It's really a matter of giving it a try because FSX is different on every computer and what works for one pc may not (or probably won't!) work for another. ^_^

FSX is more CPU dependent than the GPU.  In FS9 this was the reverse.  I doubt you'll see any gains in FPS with a change in display drivers.

 

Best regards,

Jim

Which ever one makes you feel the best!

I always use the latest.  314.22 now.  Why not?  I've never had to go back to older drivers.  I have an NVidia Card, and I just keep up with the latest they offer.  Has worked for me for many, many years.  No regrets.

Actually, different drivers have made significant FPS difference for me in the past.  I wound up testing a dozen or so once by using the same flight.  I suspect that this varies based on what card you have and perhaps even cfg settings.  So I doubt there is one driver that is best for all.  My general driver policy, though, is not to change unless I have to.  

Yea same here using the latest drivers with no issues  at all(using 314.22)
