Best of the more recent drivers for a GTX 980

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have not been paying attention to things lately, but I have a few days off and I'd like to get some FSX flying/tuning time in.

 

I have a MSI GTX 980 4G and I am thinking about upgrading drivers (or downgrading if that is the better option). I was never really thrilled with my current ones (347.09) -  no major issues but I felt like I could do better.

 

Anyway, I am using FSX Acceleration with DX9, typical settings from Nick and no SLI.

 

Are there better drivers for my system?

 

Thanks!

I have zero problems with the latest 355.82 drivers for Win10/P3D2, but your mileage may vary.  You can always rollback if they don't work out for you.  I always recommend doing a clean wipe/install with the latest version of DUU on the Guru3D site, never steered me wrong.

I've updated the driver on my 750 ti to the latest 355.82 for Windows 10 and now FSX with the acceleration pack installed refuses to start and just crashes.

I am so glad someone posed this question.  I too have the 980 (MXM form factor) and I have the latest drivers installed.  I have noticed the "locked out" settings in the control panel, or rather, trying to set multiple entries is a ping pong match ending in frustration.  i want to rollback to an older driver so does anyone know of what driver we can download that is stable for the 980 that allows for either changing all settings in the control panel and/or nVidia Inspector?  My P3D really needs the graphics fixes.
