January 29, 201511 yr There had been considerable discussion on the P3D forum concerning the best drivers. There had been some newer drivers which had some new controversial features, and of course the on going discussions about the SLI issues. Since I am spending a little more time with XPX these days, and had not really seen any major discussions concerning drivers for XPX, I got curious as to who was using what drivers and why. Any input? Regards Bob Officially retired
January 29, 201511 yr Author 337.88 seems to be the smoothest for me. Tom Hey Tom, that's the driver I am using too. Officially retired
January 29, 201511 yr Exact! Me too! I had to roll back to 337.88 after i had installed the last drivers...dont know why :-( i9 12900k, RTX 3090, 32GB RAM
January 29, 201511 yr I stuck with 337.88 for a long time too but the latest (official - sorry not at home and can't remember the number) driver from Nvidia works well for me with threading optimisation turned OFF. This gets rid of stutters. i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea

January 30, 201511 yr I'm stuck with 344.75 since 337.88 won't install on my GTX970. VASI lights still working in 344.75, but some say the shimmer is still there. Couldn't tell ya, since I never experienced the earlier 337.88 drivers.. edit: oops xpx forum...lol Intel i7 10700K | Asus Maximus XII Hero | Asus TUF RTX 3090 | 32GB HyperX Fury 3200 DDR4 | 1TB Samsung M.2 (W11) | 2TB Samsung M.2 (MSFS2020) | Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280mm AIO | 43" Samsung Q90B | 27" Asus Monitor

January 30, 201511 yr Moderator It's worth noting as well that although a driver might work well and be optimised for DirectX (i.e. FSX/P3D), it's OpenGL support (for X-Plane) might be worse/better. So, just because something works well with FSX, doesn't mean it's going to be the best on X-Plane.
January 31, 201511 yr Nvidia GTX550Ti 1GB driver version 347.25 (FS9.1, FSX Accel, P3D V2.4 and X-Plane 10-32). All previous versions mentioned in this topic have also worked for me. Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
January 31, 201511 yr I've seen no difference in driver updates. I have a GTX 970 4GB Superclocked card so some of the earlier drivers (344.x) won't work as they were developed before this card was released. I'm currently using 347.25 with no complaints, but I have a very fast system. i7-4790K o/c @ 4.8 GHz, Corsair H-110 liquid cooler, 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, MSI Maximus VII Hero mobo Samsung Pro 512 GB SSD Corsair GFX Hydro GTX-1080 8 GB, (2) 4TB hybrid HDs Win 10 (1607), X-Plane 10.51r2 and X-Plane 11.01b1
