Heads Up for Nvidia users...

Post by petermcleland »

There is a just released new WHQL approved driver to replace the recent 91.31 which had some bugs...The new drivers are 91.47 and they are very stable with a substantial improvement in frame rates over the previous.

You might like to pop over to here and download them:-

I have been testing them this morning and thoroughly recommend that you install them :dance:

Just saw that Peter. Definite improvement in framrates. Finally got a 100% clean install of the drivers too and fixed a couple of nagging issues with FS from the last couple of driver sets as well.

Just like to say WOW, what an improvement, Previous FPS on the ground at seattle with all sliders on full was 15, now I get 26. I'd say thats not a bad comparison from exactly the same test I did before the upgrade.

Thanks once again Peter!

Hopefully it gets rid of the annoying pop up telling me SLI is switched off - pity I don't have SLI to turn on :sad:

Thanks for the heads up - off to get it now.

Cheers Peter! :thumbsup:

Much improved... although, could anyone tell me if they now have a problem when flying DG's Hunter GA.11 FRADU. All the other ones seem fine, but the textures take an age to draw... even at the default EGAE or EGPA. I'd appreciate it if some of you could try it. The PA.11 FRADU is fine. :think:
