Its so funny, a driver targeted at MSFS and some will still not upgrade there drivers becasue your troubles will start...............! right....

I know. I've been checking every driver ever released to see if they did anything specifically to make FSX or P3D look better.

There's an awful lot of presumption here that a new driver will bring us exactly what we had with Beta 1, or better. I sincerely hope it will but please be prepared for something less than total satisfaction. 

To me, it's not the new driver specifically, it's that Asobo and Nvidia are communicating. I suspect that Asobo may have used the opportunity the discussion presented to get a few pointers, tips, tricks, and 'oh, by the way..' nuggets of info that they might use to make things better in the sim.

Well, yes. They had DX12 working, sort of, nearly two months ago at the start of the beta. Except for the visual glitches. So they needed to collaborate with nVidia. Let’s hope the “partnership” will provide us with solid results next week. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried though 🙂 But then again MSFS has the tendency to amplify my neurotic traits. No idea why 🙄

Come to think of it, this sort of feels a bit like “the deep breath before the plunge”. Hopefully the avsim servers have the capacity to handle the potential scenario of thousands of frustrated users if it flops. 

Just read this from one of the mods at the official forum:

Reading that Dev Blog Update, DX12 will still be Beta when SU10 becomes production next week, so don’t everyone hang their hats on it. I think it’s an incremental step to improve the user experience.

I just want stutters and blurries to go away lol.

You need DX12 then. Isn’t about extra frames, it’s about the smoothness it provides.

Better than good. It was silky butter smooth. 

But for some reason it might not be like that anymore ( with the release candidate of SU10 ).

Hopefully not but we will see..

cheers 😉

DX12 has been pretty bad for me up to this point.

My sim running on DX 11 is smooth as silk already. Hoping they don't introduce something in SU10 to screw that up.

I don't think it's been working properly since Aug 4 (1.27.13.0).

From my point of view they've nailed it with DX11 performance in the latest beta. Now all that is left is broom the floor clear of the remaining instability issues then add some final polish for it to shine. 

I hope.

Until the release of the first SU10 beta, I suffered the same bad results with DX12. DX12 killed my FPS and introduced endless stutters. Exactly for that reason, I hesitated to enable DX12 when the first SU10 beta was released. But, wow, they did something, somehow, some way, to make the sim run screaming fast with DX12. From yesterday's Asobo development update, it appears that this DX12 optimization is about to be reintroduced. So you definitely want to give DX12 another try after that. 

There is another outstanding improvement of SU10 that was mentioned briefly a few weeks ago, but was soon forgotten amid all the DX12 talk -- namely, SU10 pretty much eliminates the shimmering and flickering that's often seen around autogen objects like houses and buildings. At first, this object clarity is a startling improvement. But after a few days, you take this improvement for granted and don't think about it anymore. The reason I happened to think about this is that I downloaded a demo version of an off-brand program a couple of days ago. After fiddling around with this demo a couple of hours, my appreciation of MSFS and Asobo only deepened.

knowing your preference for military sims, it has to be DCS version 12, now with snow and rain puddles?

That, too, is incorrect.
