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:

Seems ok here to ^_^

Fine to me. Maybe a moderator can move this?

(Start of Transcription - ATC voicerecording - 11:51 - 3/09/2012 ) B: Annecy Tower, Mayday,Mayday,Mayday! Baron N2822D AT: Annecy Tower, Baron N2822D go ahead. B: Annecy Tower, i have a problem, it's suddenly very windy and freezing cold in the aircraft! Baron N2822D AT: Baron N2822D, Did you turn the heating on? B: What? Yes I did. Baron N2822D AT: Baron N2822D, Did you have a curry for breakfast? B: Annecy Tower, Say again??? Baron N2822D AT: Are all your windows and doors closed correctly? B: I shall have a look behind me, ..... DAMN !!! ..... how .... where the f *** ..... (some heavy swearing and unintelligible shouting) AT: Baron N2822D ? B: .................................................................... AT: Baron N2822D, do you read me ? B: .................................................................... AT: Come in Baron N2822D. B: Annecy Tower i declare an emergency now!! i euh, i seem to have lost some equipment here! Baron N2822D AT: Baron N2822D, Say again? B: Annecy Tower, Request returning to airfield immediately! AT: Euh, copy that, Baron N2822D, do you need the full equipment? B: Yes, and i think that's still a big understatement. Baron N2822D AT: Baron N2822D, say again please? B: Leave it and go f *** ............... (some loud and heavy swearing) ! (End of transcription - 11:53 3/09/2012 ) In the end, all ended well, i still made a 'greaser' on that nice cute little airfield close to the beautifull Lake Annecy. (France/Europe). It's was the the beginning of a great end of the summer 2012 vacation ! And i must say the Beech Baron 58 is a remarkeble strong aircraft, and that's still a big understatement ! Thanks Beechcraft, you made my (holi-) day !

Just downloaded the latest 314.07 drivers. Not installed yet, but i don't expect problems, i never had any with driverupdates. Just inspect carefully your FSX-NvidiaInspector settings afterwards: there are usually one or two things changed!

Look here: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/283701-bojotes-shader-30-mod-for-fsx/page__st__750 Lot's of reading stuff B)

Great news for me and my Sony Xperia P ! Can't wait to find it in the PlayStore Steve. :Hug:

+1 I tried every tuning advice including Bojote, NickN, ........ i always returned to Word Not Allowed. For me there isn't any better. http://#####.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ The only liberty i take: is not using AffinityMask=14 With my system it looks after several tests, that i have even less microstutters in some scenarios when i let FSX make full use of the four cores of my i5 2500K at 4.3 Mhz. But probably most people are better off with Affinity Mask use.

I remember in FS2004 with my older Pc this always was a problem. Since i have FSX on modern hardware and especially with a Word Not Allowed tuned fsx.cfg file this problem disappeared for 95%. Also always use 'locked spot' in stead of 'spot view' for best performance in instant replay mode.

Strange, i have NEVER had a OOM with my hardware and Word Not Allowed tuned FSX. Hardly a CTD once in a while. http://#####.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ Xplane better within a year? I hope so, but i doubt it, it's only getting better in very tiny steps. Look here what i wrote about Xplane: http://forum.avsim.n...75#entry2571366 For the pure joy of great flight dynamics (but NO mixture control, ATC, radio's, other countries, real weather, winter textures ... yet) with some GA aircraft or glider and very nice Swiss photoreal scenery, and a 50-60 fps framerate with NO stutters: try AeroflyFS, besides FSX/P3D.

Really great stunt with the default B 777 in Xplane 10 ! Amazing flight dynamics ! B) PS: Yes i know 1 " i " to many in the topic title, but i didn't want to offend the real Boeing 777 ......
