May 27, 201313 yr Very nice! I hope I see some performance increase with FSX as well using these new drivers.

May 29, 201313 yr I will probably upgrade soon to the new driver, no rush for me really, but I think we would appreciate if an expert could conduct some extensive tests to see if there is a noticeable improvement in FPS. I sure hope so, but given the age of FSX, and Nvidia's stance that it is not worth optimizing their drivers for such a small niche software base, I kind of doubt it. A.J. Domingo
May 29, 201313 yr I have never updated my drivers on my GTX 680. Only had it about 6 months. Can somebody tell me what the process is for upgrading? Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2 Eric, during installation, ensure you do so via the custom option and not automatic. It's mportant to select JUST THE DRIVER and not all the other bollocks, which can have a big negative effect.

May 29, 201313 yr Author Has anyone tried this driver in FSX and found any improvement in FPS? I got a 4-7 FPS boost.
May 29, 201313 yr Commercial Member Tried it, and reverted it to 314 version. No FPS improvement in FSX DX10 at all. Lots of bugs generally, mouse cursor freezing, catastrophic FPS in NBA2K13 and rthdribl. I saw many threads on various forums with users reporting same issues. Big fail by nVidia. By the way I have GTX 560OC. Current system: ASUS PRIME Z690-P D4, Intel 12900k, 32GB RAM @ 3600mhz, Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity, M2 SSD, Oculus Quest 2.
May 29, 201313 yr I didn't notice any performance change after installing this driver, however similar to the OP, a new driver about 3 months back did give me a slight uptick Chris Sunseri

May 31, 201313 yr No FSX problems with the new driver and my 660 ti card. If anything I see an improvement in performance, though specifically for FSX I can't tell any difference since I run locked at 30 fps. I too recommend the custom, clean install though it's worthwhile to install physX if you run games, and HD audio if you plan to use HDMI sound (this does not conflict with standard audio). But that new "nvidia experience" is true bloatware if you ask me, as was its predecessor "nvidia update".

May 31, 201313 yr this new driver also made my Train Simulator 2013 FPS go through the roof...love it! :Party: :dance: :yahoo:
June 3, 201313 yr For FSX a performance boost with a new Nvidia driver is wishfull thinking. I NEVER saw a change with any new driver for the last 3 years ! It's always just the same old stuff for FSX: Just follow Word Not Allowed's advices to the letter and that's really the best you can get ! http://#####.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ ^_^ With kind regards, Bart S.
June 3, 201313 yr I fear this driver may well be version 'Holy Grail 2.6'. Never mind though I am sure it has improved my ability to eat rhubarb pie, and may very well do the same for you! Recomended hot or cold ,with either rice pudding or custard. No driver update has ever made any discernable difference to my flight sim performance .Not the mearest smidgeon of an atom ,and that's jolly small. Cheers HW
