The new Nvidia driver

Same here, huge performance gain for me.

I can now keep all of my California photoscenery in the custom scenery directory.  I have 17LOD scenery of the whole state in 1x1 degree squares I made with G2XPL, before I have to break up the state and load only a few blocks at a time, now I can put it all in there and fly from one end of the state to the other.  The scenery takes up 250 GB.

 

Amazing!

Good results for me too. Enough of a gain to crank my world-detail distance setting to high.

I installed these tonight, and put my old inspector settings back in, but when flying around in sim there is a wave like effect to the scenery which I didn't have before. any thoughts on how to correct this without rolling back drivers?

Do you all use something like Driver Sweeper to clean off the old drivers, or do the later NV installers do that better than they used to?

Thank, Bruce..

Got them soon as they came out, seems to work great, no need to remove the older drivers like was once suggested that I can tell, except tradition.........

I don't really understand...do we have to update the drivers within the NVIDIA-Software (Auto-update)? Or do we have to download it separately?

 

Because i updated it within the driver-software and have no gain at all on framerates...

Hmmm,

 

there are many theories about the correct way to apply Nvidia updates.

 

I have adhered to one:

 

0) If using Nvidia Inspector, make sure you backup your simulator settings for all of your simulators... Uninstalling the drivers in step 2) and installing the new ones in step 3) will reset the profiles to defaults!!!!

 

1) Download from their site the driver for your graphics board / OS version and uncompress the installer into some local folder;

 

2) Uninstall your current driver and other Nvidia satellite products - I only use the drivers in my system;

 

3) Delete the NVIDIA folders from the main Windows partition

 

4) Reboot

 

5) Install the new driver using "advanced poptions" and by ticking the "clean install" option. Choose the components you want to install - I only install the drivers, and no Experience or whatever satellite products...

 

6) Re Import the Nvidia Inspector settings for each of the sim profiles you have saved on setp 0)

I received a notification box from the corner task bar and just clicked it....it was all auto after that.

You might have to do it manually. I did. For some reason the auto-update wouldn't give me 331.58 which is the game ready one.
