New NVIDIA drivers
-
After a couple of days testing, i find the 275.33 drivers are the best for my setup. The 285.62 were good also, it just seemed the 275.33 were more stable. The new 295 drivers are crap.
One thing I was wondering….if I do not use any 3-D Hardware (glasses, etc.), is the 3-D software that is installed with the Nvidia Control Panel neccessary? I installed it, because I didn’t want to take a chance that it would effect the 3-D experience within Falcon. But, if I am not mistaken, it’s two different things, eh?

The 3D drivers from Nvidia are to support 3D glasses. Here is some info on it from Nvidia.

I have no slowdowns at win7x64,all working normal .9600gt 6gb ram.

The 3d drivers are present in the 285 version, but you need a card that supports it. And then, I would say if you don’t use it, it wouldn’t require resources. But some people swear by having the leanest driver possible for their card. Newer drivers often add functionality for newer cards, but the driver files become in a sense bloated if you don’t need it. The exception on this is when an error exists in an older version. Check the changelogs. I had no performance decrease in BMS with either 275 or 285 drivers. And I don’t upgrade any further, because my card is from jan. 2011

Installed new driver last night. FPS jumped to 100 on a minimal TE. Activated VSYNC in game and saw FPS drop to 35-45.
That’s how VSync works. If it isn’t triple buffered, then the FPS will jump down to the next threshold in halves and doubles of 60 if that’s your refresh rate. IE, available fps are 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120 and so on. So if you’re at anywhere between 60 and 120 it will drop to 60, and between 30 and 60 it will drop to 30 and so forth. I’m massively over simplifying because I don’t fully understand it all but that’s the gist of it. My multiples may be off but that’s the general idea.

New ones today
296.10
Just tested them in my test fubared setup seem to have a good impact on fps. -
Ok, guys, sorry. when I post the 295.lalalala drivers, that link was for Nvidia 9500gt graphic card, that drivers are not for the GTX version of thcards.
Sorry and sorry for my ugly inglish -

I’m not! Since installing the 296.10 driver for my GTX560Ti, I can’t start bms at all.
Config window launches, but no bms, not direct either. Reverting in a mo - will look for 285.62, though my previous driver was okay, but I forgot which it was and only have 270.61 as back up downloaded.

I’m currently playing with the latest 296.10 driver and everything works just fine. So I assume that it’s not just a driver problem. I’m not an expert in graphics cards though.

Try to download the last directx 11

It’s working again now.
I did a clean install of the previous driver (295.73) then tried to uninstall bms but for some reason it wouldn’t - so I manually deleted it and cleaned up afterwards (registry etc).
Clean install and update 1 showed all was working. Re-updated driver to 296.10 and all is working well. No idea why I had the CTDs - issue was simply shown as being caused by Falcon BMS.exe -
Just returned from a campaign mission not one glitch all smooth maybe a slight improvement in FPS.
-
Latest nv drivers working well here in a patched bms install.
Cheers, uwe

Bang on the money
Also the only way to cap FPS in BMS

What is the best? Vsync OFF or Vsync ON. My FPS with 296.10 are good at the moment. But what is your recomended setting for any drivers.
-
Vsync on, allow you use triple buffering, and use triple buffering is good, isn´t it?
-
Realy I don´t know if it´s good, that is why I ask.
