August 10, 201312 yr Hello My Geforce 560ti 1GB card arrived today but with no driver CD so can anyone recommend the best driver for me to download for the card?. I have also been reading about the Nvidia Inspector and have a couple of questions. Do I need this to run FSX and it is easy to set up? I have been used to ATI/ AMD cards for years and would like to do it right first time. Many thanks Darran My youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/c/Dkentflyer
August 10, 201312 yr Hi Darran. Go to the PMDG General Forum and pick the third pinned thread down (Nvidia configuration guide, started by TABS). This will give you a lot of info on Nvidia cards, Inspector and its settings. Also Do a search for Word Not Allowed's guide in this and other AVSIM forums, then fine tune from there to suite your own rig and add ons. As for the best drivers, I am on the latest (320.49) and it works well for me. Regards, Rick Hobbs
August 10, 201312 yr WHY 301.42, and not latest ???+1 for me too, unless this is 560 specific. Regards, Rick Hobbs
August 10, 201312 yr WHY 301.42, and not latest ??? It's recomended by NVIDIA for some graphic cards which were made before 2010 or something like that, i can't remeber the year. Someone who purchased 560ti recently told me that he saw this recomendation on package or in GPU manuals. Anyway, i choosed this driver some time before that, becouse the latest drivers didn't worked so well for me and this one is the last made for windows 7, just before windows 8 launch. The latest drivers works well with new GPU's correction: Actually it was something about using 560ti with games which were made between 2003-2007, but i can't find all details, i'll try later on nvidia website I don't know how true is that, but i have less shimering with 301.42 comparing with latest drivers Zeljko Budovic
August 10, 201312 yr I am running the latest driver on my 570 and all is well. Your experience may vary. Bob Officially retired
August 10, 201312 yr It's recomended by NVIDIA for some graphic cards which were made before 2010 or something like that, i can't remeber the year. Someone who purchased 560ti recently told me that he saw this recomendation on package or in GPU manuals So, they print that on the 560ti retail package. I cannot see how they know, that at some future date, a newer version will not be better for that particular card, for a particular game. They are improving & optimizing the drivers all the time. Maybe not so much for DX9, but certainly for DX10 & DX11. But, yes, at the end of the day, one runs the best on that one can fond, and when a new one comes along, try it to see if it is any better than one's current one. But if you don't try the new ones, you will never know.
August 10, 201312 yr I'm using latest drivers and no issues whatsoever.. it is true though, that mostly like it is new gpus that somewhat benefit from the latest drivers.
August 10, 201312 yr This should be under Hardware software section of the forum, but I will chip in here. Everything depends on your System and your video card. There is plenty of advice offered (as per Wannabeflyer's post to this thread), as to how to fine tune your card. I am using the latest WHQL GTX driver, but then I have the GTX770 - but I am considering downgrading one revision due to some issues of smoothing that are not going away regardless of NVInspector settings ... or maybe just holding out for the next WHQL driver due later this month... Its an ongoing exercise for me as sometimes new drivers do offer improvements over tried and true legacy drivers... and sometimes they don't
August 11, 201312 yr Just use the latest... geez. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
August 11, 201312 yr Latest does not always equal best....... geez. I'm not going to sacrifice my experience with NVIDIA and my other games to "enhance" (as some people call it) a 7 year old simulator. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
