What about 'FSPS FSX FIBER ACCELERATOR'? According to this test 'it works':

I know this should be posted in the "Monitors, Videocards and Drivers" forum so read it here : http://www.avsim.com...er-crashes-fsx/

Same problem here. Until now i NEVER had a driver issue for the last 7 years, and now the Nvidia 361.43 drivers freeze my Windows 7 computer with Nvidia Geforce 570 videocard completly! Only a hard reset did help, and now after rolling back tot the previous 359.06 drivers everything seems to be ok again. I found also several warnings about this in the Geforce forum : https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/906001/driver-version-361-43-and-flight-simulator-x/?offset=5

Read the FSX 'bible' here : #####

For FSX you need a processor that you can overclock to at least 4.3 Ghz

BA757, Antialiasing - Transparancy supersampling: 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling Antialiasing Setting: 8x SQ Especially the 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling is very hard on the system even for a GTX-670. You are better off with 2x SGSS and 8x S instead. And despite of NickN's advice: after lots of trying: FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.15 is still the best setting on my system! I tried really EVERY advice and method for tuning my FSX during 2 years and i NEVER found any better than 'Word Not Allowed's Tuning Guide' It's all in here : http://#####.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ Now i enjoy the best possible flying in FSX instead of endless tuning! ^_^

BA757, Your settings: 'Antialiasing - Transparancy supersampling: 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling' 'Antialiasing Setting: 8x SQ' Especially the 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling is very hard on the system even for a GTX-670. You are better off with 2x SGSS (with a little water shimmering) and 8x S instead. And despite of NickN's advice i am still better off with FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.15 on my system. I tried really EVERY method for tuning my FSX (NickN, Bojote, Word Not Allowed, ....) during 2 years and i never found any better than Word Not Allowed's Tuning Guide : http://#####.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ Now i enjoy the best possible flying in FSX instead of endless tuning! ^_^

The one and only link for software and hardware tuning: http://#####.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ B)

Just like Word Not Allowed says in his great tuning guide: http://#####.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ If your GTX 650 can cope with '4x SGSS' (very hard on the system, especially cloudy situations but absolutely no shimmering) then that's fine. With my GTX 570 i take: '2x SGSS' (not as hard on the system and shimmering reduced greatly) for the best framerate. ^_^

The whole amazing story: http://fshistory.simflight.com/ I am proud to say i was there since FS2 ! (on an IBM pc with 4 color monitor) So it makes me a grumpy old man .... B)

For FSX a performance boost with a new Nvidia driver is wishfull thinking. I NEVER saw a change with any new driver for the last 3 years ! It's always just the same old stuff for FSX: Just follow Word Not Allowed's advices to the letter and that's really the best you can get ! http://#####.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ ^_^

:lol: :lol: :lol: Nice try !

Srdan Kostic also named 'Word Not Allowed' is without any doubt the man that made me stop tuning my FSX, since following his advice to the letter made my FSX the best possible I've tried ALL the others, experimented with ALL other advices and always found out Word Not Allowed's method was the very best. So for the last 2 years i am FLYING FSX instead of TUNING it !! I am very gratefull to Word Not Allowed for all his great and hard work for the simflying community ! Just Google for 'Word Not Allowed's Flight Simulation World'

Strange, i've never had the slightest problem when updating my GTX-570 drivers, except for keeping a eye on the FSX NvidiaInspector settings of course, that are usually changed a bit after an update.

A new try:
