• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Apparently, around 5% of GPU performance can be gained (as well as stuttering / download traffic avoided) by disabling the

Nvidia Streamer Service

I'll be checking that.

To disable it (console, elevated rights):

sc stop "NvStreamSvc"
sc config "NvStreamSvc" start= disabled

(the following is permanent, not needed to test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)


sc delete "NvStreamSvc"

Mark...
I checked that link....it's possibly important to note the most current message was a year old...so the issues may not now be relevant...;)
 
I opened msconfig and the services tab and just unchecked it. I gained a few frames and it got smoother, I think, I wasn't having a problem with this so I wasn't looking for much.
I hate to delete anything in FSX.
