New NVidia drivers with GPU Hardware Scheduler.

[UnknownGuest12]

What are peoples findings?

If you use VR, is it smoother?
Are you experiencing improved framerates on a monitor?

No VR here but improved framerate in p3d 4.5....much better now

Acceleration working with GTX970?

Hi,
has anyone gotten the Hardware accelerated GPU Scheduler to appear with a GTX 970 card?
I have 2 systems both with the latest Nvidia driver and the latest Windows 10 release (2004). The system with the 1080 card worked fine so I updated the older system with the 970 card. Did the same procedure on both: update to Win10 2004 (multiple reboots); do a clean install of just the Nvidia driver, and then reboot.

The option for Hardware Accelerated GPU scheduling appears on the system with the 1080 card but not on the other system.

Is this an issue with my system or a more general issue with GTX 970 cards?

thanks
Gavin

Does anybody else notice a black flickering when the graphics card is on stress? I never had this before installing this new driver.

I believe that the Hardware accelerated GPU Scheduler option is only available with cards using Pascal and Tesla GPU microarchitecture, not Maxwell which the 900 series used.

I have to laugh. I updated my invidia drivers, THEN I read this post. Naturally I dropped everything I was doing and updated my windows. No luck. I was still on 2909. Went to update assistant. Downloaded the update and kicked it off.. A couple hours later it crashed and advised me to restart the system. I did that twice,, The third time, I ran the updater from the microsoft site, and everything went fine, right up until it stopped working with a "We're sorry but your system cant be updated" error message. I surrender.. Will someone please just shoot me??

Oh my, that really, really stinks. I have talked to a Microsoft support rep, but if I recall correctly, it wasn't easy. It took several phone calls, before I reached someone who I could understand..... NC

I hope you can get things resolved.

Much thanks Chief. I hope I can too.. At this point, the ball is in OrBx's court to see if they'll get the airports fixed. Till then, I can use FSX or X-Plane anytime I want to fly from home. I've got a beautiful little C90GTX thats not getting any attention while I build P3DV5 up, and I'm thinking it could use some..

Interestingly, mine didn't crash but I also got the message that it couldn't be updated yet.

Will have to give MS a while before my old computer can get the update

Hi Pam

Off topic

How do you get that FPS count on screen?

I still have the FSX/P3D original lettering

Thanks

I thought it might be something about the card but my searchfoo wasn't up to finding out what.

P3D still happily uses the GPU and I get 50+ FPS flying around the ORBX Pacific Northwest so I'm not complaining. I was just making sure there wasn't an issue with my system.
