New NVIDIA drivers
-
I’ve got GTX770 with 331.58 driver and I’ve got stuttering without MDF extractor. I’ve tried all driver and I have stuttering as well.

@Bad:
No problem at all here to run a GTX 780 with 331.58 driver on Win7-64bit (no stutter) I’m not using MFD extraction.

BBThat’s why. Mine runs fine with the MFD switch off.

Try turning off focus shadows.

in window mode single monitor I see them perform guite well. No stutters or problems. simple tests as done in my modding win setup.

set g_bExportRTTTextures 1 no stutters with 306.97same here Icarus, now I’m always switching drivers forth and back… cant be a solution. sth changed with the newer drivers dramatically, as also the older USB monitor drivers wouldnt work with the newer Nvidia drivers.

Personally i settled with 306.97, ( i have a 550ti ). It’s an old card anyway so i doubt newer drivers would bring any benefit. Next card will likely be an ATI though, can’t afford to pay 300$ and get stutters The new R9 280x look like a good deal, anyone running one of those ?

Guys, I’ve only just remembered this topic and fell across it just now.
I posted a little while ago elsewhere about this and I hope it is of use…
"…_Slightly off topic as this concerns the Battle for Balkans AND the Israeli 0.97 theatres, but some of you will have read of my graphics woes.
Well I hope I’ve cracked it.
Firstly I reverted to the 306.97 drivers…no change in all the new theatres. Stutter, stutter, stutter, with fps around 15. Pants I hear you say. So I thought, how about getting rid of the MFD extraction and see what happens. Instant improvement. FPS to 60. But I did miss my MFD extraction. In fact it was quite a surprise just HOW MUCH I missed them.
Anyway, through the gap in my Thrustmaster MFD I can see my Windows Desktop. No biggy there. Then the background changed and the frame rate dropped through the floor!
I backed out, turned off the Windows Aero system and set it to Windows Basic.
I fired up BMS again, but this time with the MFD extractor ON and Hey Presto, 60fps…"_
I hope this is of use to someone.

can you recommend driver for the 760GTX without MFDE? I get shutters at simple TE at Israeli theater while putting my head down at ramp start and it drives me crazy. I tried many drivers but it doesn’t change. I also tried to turn off all the options in the nVidia CP without success. I also turned focus shadows off.
I hope I can solve this thing

Hi guys, I have running in my GTX 660 TI direct CU top 2 the driver version 310.90
Someone has experienced with a card like mine any problem with the version 331.65 WHQL ?
Do you recomend me the latest version?
thanks in advance.
-
I tested quickly whql 331.82. They seem ok (still few stutters with IT as usual but playable). Same settings recommendation than before.

RFAFAIK the only driver that works properly is 306.97. 700 series can’t use them. That is why I am still running 580’s. I will upgrade when they fix it.

Correct, i just tested the latest 331.82 and i see major stutters , reverted right back. I believe 306.97 also supports the 600 series. I’ts kind of annoying because i dont want to move away from NVIDIA ( hackintosh work better with NVIDIa chipsets ), and investing 300+$ on a new card to get stutters is basically a no go. Im still wondering what the heck they changed…

Correct. 306.97 support ends at 600 series. I have a bad felling this will not get resolved unless by accident from nVidia.

me too. cant use later than 306.97! microstutters are killing the fun! and nvidia will not do anything for (or rather against) this on purpose…

I dont think they are micro-stutters, they are quite macroscopic drop in frame rates. I thought initially it was a matter of newer drivers being tweaked for newer cards but it seems the drops happens to people running 780s…

I am worried this will ruin BMS as the older cards become obsolete.

Not sure what’s the devs position on the subject. Not all games stutter with newer drivers so a workaround may be possible

If someone has issues with important stutters but wants anyway to use the latest drivers (wanting to play BF4 or last COD etc), he/she can try the following (in my case I have no stutters with the original theater, very few with the latest Balkans ones and a little bit more but still playable with IT and between 50 fps and 35 fps in solo campaign with 3D surround and under all circumstances with very nice quality of the graphics).
1 and most important :In BMS setup graphics: multisampling unchecked (off), quality level 0
2 in bms configuration, Settings hardware, Shaders, post processing effects, motion blur off; shadow mapping: focus shadows off and focus shadow reflexion off under water environment mapping. For lighting effect: per pixel on, per vertex off. FalconBMS Display extraction off (I don’t use it with triple screen and 3D surround anyway).
3 Create if it is not existing a BMS profile with Nvidia inspector, then by order of decreasing importance
“Maximum pre-rendered frames: 2”. AA mode: Override any application setting; Antialiasing setting: 4xS. Anisotropic filtering: user defined; Anisotropic setting: 16X. Vertical sync Tear control: adaptative; Vertical Sync: “use the 3D application settings”; AA transparency multisampling: disabled; Toggle FXAA: on; Texture filtering LOD bias: “Clamp”; Texture filtering Quality: high quality.
“force AFR2” seems to help as well: Nvidia predifined SLI mode and SLI rendering mode to: “force AFR2” ( 3 changes to make).Vertical sync smooth AFR behavior: on (specific to SLI);
for 3D or 3D surround in BMS setup graphics: 120Hz, VSync: onIncreasing the voltage of one of my GC to match the one o’c from factory.

Yes, it seems that is going to come down to turning off a bunch of graphics options, including MFD extraction, or stay with 306.97. Not a great choice, but it appears we are stuck with it at least for now.
