May 21, 201511 yr Installed update and now xplane works - not well up with the technical things in xplane, just as long as it works. Thanks DMB
May 21, 201511 yr Did you guys see any difference in display quality or performance with the new drivers?
May 21, 201511 yr I'm not sure about quality but I am fairly certain my FPS have leaped up quite a bit. I like to run three monitors with XP but my FPS always tanked to 15 or so. With this driver they have stayed up in the 40's. I might be hallucinating but seems like the FPS has improved for me.
May 21, 201511 yr I also saw some reports about fps increase , some report a HUGE increase. I didn't notice anything though , but very interesting.
May 22, 201511 yr Just before update fps 53/54 2 minutes after update 57/59 Maybe a cloud had moved a wee bit Trevor Golding
May 25, 201511 yr I too have seen higher FRs. They have been moderate - approximately 10%. I do, however, still find that the later nVidia drivers cause "stutters". While flying at a 59-60 FR, it will suddenly "lock up" for several seconds and when it starts again, the FR count will be very low and then go back to where it was. Yes, I use TrackIR and some might blame the movement factor, but I can turn it off and get the same results. Reinstall 337.88 (I think - on another computer in a different area now) and I have the FRs back with no studder. In short, the new driver issue seems to be be fixed, but the OpenGL thing has not - at least for me. No problem, I'm to old to play all the games the new drivers seem to support, so I have my favorite simulator giving me the experience I require. I have been "playing" with different settings for several days now to decide if I was just seeing things or if it is real and not seeing "stutters" tells me I am on to something. There may be some drivers newer than those mentioned that provide a "stutter free" experience, but these work for me. John John Wingold
