So will there be a new nvidia driver to download with su10 tomorrow or not.

From what I can tell it looks like not.

If there is a new driver it would have to be downloaded separately from NVidia. GPU hardware drivers would never be included as part of a sim update. The most current GeForce driver at Nvidia.com is still 516.94 from August 9th as of 16:25 EDT today…

#17  →      456 votes    Massive FPS Drop Because of SU 9    Started (Improved in SU10)

Does this include the bug caused by the vegetation slider? I get low fps at certain airport (like gaya loww) when vegetation is on maximum. Have they fixed that?

Thank you for letting me know. Have you noticed any performance improvements using TAA rather than DLSS with the beta version? 

My video card doesn't support DLSS. But I've noticed a significant increase in performance using TAA. It's not so much an increase in FPS. It's more an increase in smoothness. Before SU10, I couldn't fly through a thick cloud layer without glitches and stutters. Now I can fly through scattered or broken clouds and everything still works smoothly.

Oh, I am positive that 4 microseconds after the update is released, there will be people posting about how they hate it, and how could Asobo to this to them. 😉

And 6 microseconds after you will respond that you don't have any problem at all and never had!

I agree, David.  No matter how the graphics options are set, it does seem to be much smoother overall.

I'm hoping there are updates from the major third party devs when this Service update drops. (Looking specifically at the Fenix/PMDG and to a lesser extent FBW birds) with something new. Yes they presently work great in the beta but it would be nice to see if there is some feature update that is to be dropped in tandem with the Service update or shortly afterward.

Unfortunately no, although it was still very smooth, and no issues.  DLSS does cause some slight blurring of the flat screens presently, until Asobo fix this at a later date (it has been acknowledged by them), but I find the performance increase has been so profound, that I don't want to turn it off.  I use the new sharpening slider to elevate the blurriness a bit, and I now find it easily tolerable. 
DX12 with TAA might show some benefits though if your card can support it and your PC config is good for it (multithreading etc.).

I can run at 60 fps at 4k ultra setting almost everywhere now with DLSS, but I currently prefer 30 fps during the summer, with my graphics card running cool, and I can barely hear the fans!  
Even 30 fps with DLSS seems much smoother now for some reason, probably to do with frame timing etc. as it just doesn't skip any frames, ever.

Edit:  See lwt1971's thread above - a few performance improvements in his list that will apply to any settings, or at least, avoidance of performance degradation.

Is there an easy way to get beta drivers these days?

You could hack nvidias webpage, but this is probably not what you mean with easy 😄

If I recall correctly, the taxi ribbon toggle is a part of su10.  How's that working for you beta testers?

or ask @bobcat999 as he states above that he uses the beta driver.

Thats why I asked 🙂 Wasnt sure if it was restricted or if anybody can get them.

There is a beta driver section on the nvidia site

A great example of MSFS's realistic lighting, atmosphere, weather, etc on display in this SU10 video on reddit
 

 

For me and i must be the only one.

I don't find that convincing at all. the clouds, their representations. The general color. The overall luminosity, the shadows create for me an imbalance that takes us away from the natural aspect. Too dark, too black, washed out. undeniable effect "GTA" .

I am unable to find it, I googled beta drivers and the webpage for that is all sorts of messed up

 

@Mroberts95

I have 517.22 that I was directed to.  They are just slightly newer - a small incremental update rather than a beta actually, and they are working fine in MSFS, but they are mainly for Vulkan testing, and don't include the latest DX12 fixes specifically for MSFS.

The point I was making was that people shouldn't fear upgrading to newer drivers, especially for MSFS.  These are the newest ones I can get, and they work just fine. 

Better to wait for the proper MSFS related driver release - it won't be long at all now!
