April 17, 20206 yr So I have v4 and v5 together on my PC. I upgraded to the latest Nvidia driver. And now there is a performance push also in v4 that is substantial. Anyone else seeing this? Can the driver alone do this? Is there anything v4 and v5 share somewhere? Seems to be completely bogus, but I wanted to ask just to make sure that I am not hallucinating. Hans
April 17, 20206 yr I'd say it's doubtful...usually when folks claim a new driver has massively increased performance, we find that the new driver had turned down AA or somehow otherwise stopped using a performance-heavy feature that, when turned back on, took performance back to where it was.

April 17, 20206 yr Author That's what I think as well. Will use another lockdown-weekend to try and check. Not saying that I have any magic mushroom here. Hans

One fellow saw a drop of 1GB usage in v5 when going to this latest driver. I'm running it and the sim flat out except for Atmos Beta has me around 3.4 out of 6.7
April 17, 20206 yr I would interesting to see if we now get an Nvidia Game Ready Driver for P3D V5 since Nvidia Tech is used by name in the sim. I think it would be bad form otherwise.

Not to forget: if NVIDIA Profile Inspector was used before, its settings have to be re-applied in the new driver (as you mentioned AA - in my case SGSSAA).
