Long story short, restore of pc back to 7 months ago. With several nvidia drivers I have had video playback issues and finally found one that worked well with fsx and my video software. Did I make a note of the number, did I back it up ? Nope, what a twit ! Anyway my restore meant that I was on one of the older drivers I had issues with. So took the plunge and just installed nvidia's latest 340.52 for Windows7 64bit.

After 10 hours of getting the PC back up to shape by restoring an image I just ran FSX and with a 2 minute check it appears to run, no dodgy graphics etc (Run over 3 screens on nvidia surround 680gtx). Didn’t do much of a test I know but wanted some sleep, and was just happy fsx loaded up ok !

I just wondered if anyone else on this driver? if so any issues I need to be aware of (I gather its awful for P3D)

Thanks

Steve

I updated to 340.52 lately, and FSX went crazy about it!

Started to see all kind of artifacts and problems for some reason.

If you see my posts history you will probably see some of those issues.

After hours of installing & uninstalling almost everything, I gave up and tried one last thing which was the drivers!

I rolled back to 337.88 and couldn't be happier. 

I had problems with the latest drivers too. Went back to 337.88. But now I get a freeze for a second and buzzing sound then a black screen for a second or two then it comes back on fine. Does it random.

337.88

340.52 and all is well.

340.52 and it is fine. Never had an issue with any WHQL drivers.

Sometime in the next few days I will probably give the newly released 344.11 driver a try. I have always been successful running every new release but, at this point I have gone all the way back to 335.23 to maintain system stability. Anything above that version showed great performance promise but was causing regular system crashes.

 

Its a  roll of the dice!!

I am also using the 340.52 driver on a newly installed GTX-780, and pleased with the operation.

 

I find that the CPU temperatures during FSX have dropped significantly from what they were with the dual GTX-580s.  This might be due to the 780 handling more of the load previously put on the i7-4770K.

344.11. I can never understand all the angst about drivers and FSX. Get the latest and forget about it. I don't think FSX is on driver writer's radar anyway is it?

And now on 344.11. No problems after now 6 hours in a longhaul with CS777-200. Appears very smooth.

i was able to max all my fsx sliders out accept for air traffic of course, it's really smooth i am actually surprised

hi everybody !

I have a nvidia geforce gtx 660 ti and i systematically used to download the last Nvidia drivers ...

I had several problems along my last FSX adventure.

The 340,52 driver is well compatible with FSX?

Thank's by advance for your replies...

My advice would be to stick with what you have until you either experience a problem, or want a new feature that only the latest drivers can exploit. It really isn't a sensible idea to mess about with something that works just fine unless you really have to.

 

For the record, I am currently using 337.88.

Hi Christopher,

Thank's for your answer.

Actually i have the last NVIDIA driver that NVIDIA proposed !

For the moment i don't have reinstalled FSX yet and i 'm looking for all the good tips in order to make the most effective FSX reinstallation.

SO, i didn't remember well when my FSX bugs appeared and which Nvidia driver i had at that time...  :unsure:

I'll test and keep you informed !!!
