For the ones who have low FPS and all around crappy FS program

it might just be me, but i've never noticed a graphic/texture/sharpness improvement with any of the drivers, so i'm always a bit perplexed when people say they can see improvements :isadizzy:
 
These drivers are so the the fastest in FPS out of the other ones that have been released. Read up in that forum and you will see what I mean. Those guys do nothing but play with these video drivers. I was thinking like you are but decided to give'em a try anyway and I am glad I did...Mike
 
Sorry about this dumb question, but I'm not good with computers.... (I was reading up about it, but I couldn't tell)

This is only for those who have an NVIDIA GeForce driver, right?

Sorry for my stupidity....

I'm kinda with you on this one Stiz. . . .but to be fair, I'm running an NVidia 9600GT straight out of the box, no tweaks and no overclocking. I probably have it taxed to it's limits right now based on the settings in FSX so I never expect anything fantastic from driver updates and am usually right. I continue to update the drivers just so I'm running the latest version, but if I load one that causes a noticeable problem, I'll drop back to the previous driver until another release comes out. I can't think of one driver that when I loaded FSX just made me go WOW, Look at that, lol.:salute:
 
Now I am tickled by this...

The 93.71_forceware_winxp2k_english_whql.exe driver offered by this link looks OK for my system, and is 42MB
I go to the Nvidia site (which does not offer to "check if my system is OK" and cause me to flee before it offloads something ugly on me) and get the driver specific to my oldish GTS250 card.
It is called 270.61-desktop-winxp-32bit-english-whql.exe and is 87 MB.
I assume it contains the Nvidia Control Panel as well...
Would it be the same driver though??
If not, you'd surely assume the card-specific one is better?

they also all seem to have the latest graphics card and several grand systems, how good are they for us normal blokes with systems that are a few years old! :icon_lol:
 
I'm usually skeptical with Beta drivers, but I'll give them a try. Can always back up to 270.61.
 
Quadro 270.73 are cool so far; not sure if the betas can top that.

I haven't seen much improvement over time in Unigine Heaven, but that's cool with me. Better than a decrease in performance.
