New NVIDIA drivers
-
My troubleshoot tip: only install the GPU drivers and DON’T install all extra like nVidia Experience (always a bad one) and nVidia 3D Vision, unless it’s a necessity for your applications/games then you have to workaround some tweaks. I stay away from all that, saves me time and headaches!

In the past this was the default for nvidia as the 3d and audio drivers where causing fps loss. Nowadays I don’t know if this applies. I use them both and had good fps. I will try it with the new ones… In my everyday moding windows setup I did it and then it went to windows update for the audio drivers which is worst IMO.

The VERY FIRST THING I do when installing a fresh copy of Windows 8 is KILL the AUTO UPDATE in Windows. Specially for installed lower version GPU drivers (in my case those were the 310.90 WHQL) it’s essential that not the standard Windows 8 drivers for nVidia are reinstalled. At first I had terrible audio conflicts with the nVidia audio drivers. I ended up uninstalling them in hardware setup. As posted earlier there’s is a guy that made the DDU display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-v12-9-0-released-06-01-14. A very handy tool to completely uninstall nVidia/AMD drivers. After that you can do a clean install of only (if needed) the display drivers.

well that is the thing I do have a 3D Vision certified system and need 3D Vision drivers but F4 will not run when they are enabled??
I am using the 327.33 with no problems but not with the new 337.88’s…??

What drivers have you been using after 327.23 (not .33) and prior to 337.88 that were stable for all your app and enabled you to use BMS? There have been several WHQL releases since 327.23.

New nvidia drivers work fine on my end with bms, I also chose not to install nv exp. nor the 3d vision drivers. I’m on a single-screen gtx 660.
Cheers, Uwe

I’ve had 3D system for a long time, and it has been no problem with Falcon4 BMS.
It can also work well with F4, but due to HUD placing not usually used (See other threads about this). But it has NOT been a problem when I have the 3D available but not used with Falcon4.Admitted: last night test gave some sort of scintillation on the MFDs when not using 3D (but enabled). I have not had any problems before, will test.

Yes I use 3D in all my sims it is very immersive… I have tried all the whgl releases since 327.23 and none have worked mostly with the triplescreen setup… These newest drivers worked fine but when I have 3D Enabled in NCP BMS will Lock the PC up and I have to do a hardreboot…
BMS worked fine when I turned off Stereoscopic in NCP but then I don’t have 3D

Sampled the 337.88 driver this morning, and BMS looks good, (zero-stuttering) as long as “Focus Shadows” are turned OFF; guess I’ll have to live without my Falcon’s shadow on the ground until there’s a fix.
Used the Nvidia Display Driver Uninstaller to rid my drive of the 306.97, and installed only the 337.88 driver and PhysX, selecting the “clean-install” option in the Nvidia installer.i5 4670K OC’ed to 4.2GHz
8GB pc-1333
GTX 650ti 1GB
Windows 8.1.1 (super-clean and streamlined OS-install)Cheers, and good hunting!

Thanks for your feedback and how-did-I-install notes, always a good read and a great direction for others!

SLI that 650 and you can have your shadows back stutter free. AFR2 cures the focus shadow stutters.

Or you could get a Radeon R9 280x cheap as chips and forget this Nvidia stuff, fitted it today, goodbye Nvidia.;)

So you switched to AMD? Dare Devil!
-
Well switching doesn’t mean that cause it works sweet for u will do and for the rest. Wish it was that easy and simple… and maybe less costly…

Cheap? It’s still 300$+ :rolleyes:
-
You can get cheaper than that surely?, hey anyway GTX 570 was 82c on Heaven Benchmark, I always thought that card ran too high even with fans cranked up, this 280 runs at 62c on most games and 65c with Heaven, has double fans but with stock card settings and v-sync on in BMS it runs just fine, I’ll see how it goes over next few weeks but hassle free so far.

New GeForce 340.52 driver is now released:

I do not expect any big difference compared to 337.88. -
Thanks hornet for update this post!!!

I do not expect any big difference compared to 337.88.Anything better than a 6xx series cards needs updating. IMO GK105, GK104, GK103 etc.
Another update to consider among the Nvidia cards, is the BIOS ver. on the card.
Lots of cards were shipped with inadequate BIOS versions. Check yours.

****EDIT I’ll leave my original up here but I joined a Mirage 2000D flight in progress after my “fix” and it was smooth as silk all 300 miles to the target, I drop 2 Mk-82s and 4 Belugas on an enemy column and had slight stutters from the explosions and smoke and then all was stutter free again. I was fine all the 350 miles back to home plate, landing with a motor running and 000 on the fuel meter. However, once I was inside 5 miles to homeplate and could see it in my HUD the stutters came back, and remained. Funny thing is if I start a flight it retains the stutters the whole flight, but if I start in the air I’m good until I get back to the airport. I wonder what code is triggered returning to an airbase. this is all in Balkans with the new textures/terrain and I haven’t tested Korea yet.
THINK I GOT A STUTTER FIX ALL!!!
I just upgraded to an NVidia 660ti from and AMD HD 6950 2gb and the stutters in falcon on my jet only were immediate and painful. I could switch views to any other jet or object and the frames would be fine. But my cockpit and external views of my jet had horrible stutters. I researched and found one person able to eliminate stutters by reinstalling the drivers without the Nvidia experience driver. Instead of wiping and reinstalling the drivers- I just uninstalled the drivers from Windows control panel and POOF no more stutters!!
Try the following:
Uninstall the NVidia experience driver
Unistall the 3d vision and 3d vision controller drivers(unless you play wearing 3d glasses-I don’t so this driver is complete excess)
uninstall the HDMI audio driver( I have a dedicated sound card and don’t use the HDMI audio on my graphics card)after you uninstall the 3d drivers it will ask for a restart- do so and try it! Stutters gone! In Balkans, over any city, with an external LCD(Lilliput).
I hope this works for everyone!
