  1. This keeps getting posted about, and from what I have seen- it's wrong. The original beta 344 driver that was initially released ONLY supported 2 900M series cards. Nothing else. Then a bunch of modded inf's were uploaded, and none included provisions for 6,7,800M Series cards. The important letter being that M. Yes they allowed for those desktop version numbered cards, but not the mobile versions. Now the new drivers have been released, and while they do "support" mobile cards, they do not allow for DSR use on laptop cards. I am yet to see a modded inf for anything else that allows this. Do you personally have a mobile card, and have DSR running? Or know anyone who does? That quote I posted from Manuel, a nvidia employee, clearly states that the mobile version of DSR is coming. Here is the current list, according to the nvidia rep: While this driver version substantially expanded the availability of DSR, support for DSR on certain types of system configurations is still being worked on for future releases. The table below should clarify which configurations can currently use it. Sorry for the confusion. Code: Single GPU SLI Standard Monitor (25x16 resolution or lower) Yes Yes G-SYNC Monitor (any resolution) Yes In Development** Surround Monitor Configuration Yes In Development** 4K Monitor Yes In Development** 3DTV Play Yes* Yes* 3D Vision Yes* Yes* 3DTV Play Yes* Yes* Discrete-GPU Notebooks In Development** In Development** Optimus Notebooks In Development** In Development** MS Hybrid Notebooks In Development** In Development** *3DTV DSR resolution needs to be selected from Change Resolution Page. The only known limitation is that it is not supported on a passive stereo monitor and Microsoft DX11.1 native stereo apps. But currently there are no known DX native stereo game titles, so all the titles that are supported by 3DV with any rating should work with DSR on any 3D vision monitor or on any 3DTV. **Feature is currently in development and will be released in an upcoming Game Ready driver release. >Desktop GPUs supporting DSR: All Maxwell, Kepler, and Fermi-based desktop GPUs using 344.48. >Notebook GPUs supporting DSR: In development – will be released in an upcoming Game Ready driver release. So again, have you seen DSR running on a mobile GPU, or can you provide any inf file that has ANY mobile graphics card (other than 970/980M) with DSR enabled. Because the answer is that there isn't. And this is reflected by the constant questioning of this exact issue on the guru3d forums. If you provide a working version of 344 with DSR for 5/6/7/800M mobile cards, I'll freely eat my hat
  2. Got this on the guru3d forums from an nvidia guy: Quote: Originally Posted by ManuelG DSR is not available on notebook GPUs at this time. This will come in a future update. Very annoying
  3. Still no support for mobile/laptop cards enabling DSR? Very annoying that it first supported 970/80M cards, and now only desktop cards, including fermi and Kepler.. Would be great if nvidia (or a very kind modded...?) could enable DSR on the mobile versions of these cards..

    Cheers Rob, they look amazing! Yep, I have no addons installed with regards to weather generation or visuals.. I just find that when I'm cursing along VFR over a Forrest environment (or anywhere with trees). That the areas in direct sunlight are far too dark, unlike real life. The cloud shadows look great, but the sunlit areas just don't stand out enough. For example, setting cumulus to 3/8, and flying at midday- trees look very dark. Buildings, cockpit, everything else looks great otherwise. I'll try your HDR settings! On a side note, is it just a limitation of the sim that mountains in the background don't displays 3d trees? I'll try and get a photo, but it's defiantly a ring-range at where they just don't show.. Seems rather close, but maybe that's just a limitation and I need to reduce vis.. I have tried all setting at max, including LOD @ 12.5 (and maxing out the tree LOD).. Cheers again!

    Hey Rob, I am at this stage- I have read about all the alternatives, but am unsure what is the cheapest and best way to suit my needs (and if this does actually make a difference to the ground colour/dullness?) I would much rather realistic looking clouds and good themes, over real time weather (I fly enough in the RW in real world weather- selecting a scene is much more desirable when I just wanna get airborne in P3D) Cheers

    Anyone who has tweaked their HDR to "lighten the mood" (ie no more jet black trees or water) able to kindly share their modded HDR file?
  7. In its current form, it is only by default enabled on 970m & 980m laptop cards. But users report fermi card are seeing huge benefits from them. I have a 670MX but unfortunately all the modded inf's that are allowing all desktop users to use this driver have not been modded further to allow any other mobile gfx cards (than those aforementioned) So question is, is there someone with knowledge on how to mod the infs, able to add mobile gfx cards as well?
  8. No joy on mobile cards still? Tried modding the inf file to no avail.. According to another thread (now p3d/fsx), a nvidia rep couldn't out a timeframe on if or when they would be available for laptop cards.. Any gurus able to help me and many others out?
  9. I have tried that modified file, but again, it does not cater for Mobile/Laptop cards. This is reflected in its inf file, which does not contain any cards with the "M" after the card number (for example, mine should be "GTX670MX") Anyone else with a laptop (other than the 900's) had any luck in getting these drivers to run on their machine? :(
  10. Unfortunately the modded inf file for this new driver doesn't include all the other mobile GFX cards (other than the 980m etc).. When I go to install the driver, it tells me my cad isn't compatible. I have a GTX 670MX but for the life of me can't seem to add it to the inf file.. I managed to find a modded version, but it's two 670MX entries didn't seem to work for my card? I believe there are different versions of the same card, and I'd need to somehow find out mine, and then add it? Obviously I have no idea! If anyone is able to assist, it would be much appreciated!
  11. Can anyone with sweet fx post a screenshot or two to show the difference between the standard 2.3 and a SweetFx one? Really interested to see if it can make sunlight on terrain look more "sunny" (although I reckon 2.3 has gone and done this much better than 2.2) cheers!
  12. Thanks for the tips. I have tried everything I can think of.I have slid all scenery back to mins, zero autogen, even tried running in half speed just to check that fsx wasn't being pushed too hard! Yet the game freezes at or just before the flare (ie always below a few hundred feet). It's like my pc hasn't got enough processing power to deal with the flare mode? (and all the transitional modes involved in the last phase of descent).. I'm running a Q6600 with a 460gtx and 8gb DDR2 ram 750w pwr.. I've attached a quick video of what I am talking about (it happens every time, so loaded up FRAPS and recorded one of them). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivNfFpyLEo0 Hopefully I am flying the approach correctly, but I am yet to actually even see what the flare mode and rollout mode look like! So again, if anyone can record something similar to what I just posted, but showing the touchdown through the HUD, it would be most appreciated (Ie the last 1-2mins of a manual AIII approach). And if anyone has any suggestions as to why this is happening (there was a thread about the exact same topic, but it hasn't been updated for over a month). I have tried with an original install, as well as all the hotfixes.. Cheers again, - I just did another approach, and this time tried to Go Around using TOGA, but as soon as I pushed the button, it locked up. (again, Complete Freeze = MS FSX not respondng..)I'm really thinking my PC just cannot handle this bird.. Tom
  13. G'day- I'm looking to record a quick 1-2min video (in 720) showing a manual AIII landing on a CatIII ILS in minima wx..My reasoning is that I would like to study it and nail manual landings in minima..I have had some pretty successful attempts, but like a few others, I seem to experience freezes as I follow the + (flare command) up to the horizon..So if someone with some skill could generously record a nice smooth video of just the HUD in AIII mode, and upload it to YouTube in 720, it would be greatly appreciated (preferably showing from auto-transition to AIII mode right until a complete stop).Thanks, and hope to hear from someone who can help!Cheers,Tom
