New NVIDIA drivers
-
Thanks hornet for update this post!!!
-
New GeForce 340.52 driver is now released:
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77224/en-us
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!

GTX 660, and it is now worse! Thanks for the heads up, but didn’t work for me at all! I am experiencing serious sluttering in Korean theater now! Even with new tiles, all ran smoothly before, but I don’t know what I did, but I am experiencing sluttering in every theater now! Gotta roll back.

Sorry, was hoping I found something useful.

Or you could get a Radeon R9 280x cheap as chips and forget this Nvidia stuff, fitted it today, goodbye Nvidia.;)
Stutter free, and 3GB VRAM? What and how many monitors are you pushing? Thanks!

There are a ton of different micro stutter fixes - depends on system type/ state, and Mods you may have (e.g. hi res terrain)
I find switching off vertical sync was the best which gives lower frame times - and using the NVIDIA driver options - but probably only works on higher end hardware because I run over 100fps a lot of the time (you get some tearing).

Yup. Switching OFF vertical sync and focus shadow seem to boost frame rates. I had 60-70 when not on bases, but now I can hardly get higher than 40 and it drops to 20 while taxiing on the ground.
My specs:
i7-3770 @ 3.40 GHz
16 GB RAM
GeForce GTX 660 (340.52)
Running on Windows 7 64-bits -
vsync on, focus shadows on, everything maxed out and never under 60 fps and no stutters. 60-100+ with vsync off. SLI AFR2 does this for me. I think it is different for different systems. You just have to try stuff to see what works on your system.

New driver: v344.11

Roger that.
Guess this is a no-go for me as well.

Notice to those with older Nvidia cards: Nvidia has dropped support for quite a few cards with this driver revision. Any hardware below the 400 series (ie GT 420) is no longer supported with this driver. If you are on older hardware, stay on the earlier drivers.

GTX 660 here.

344.11 gets my seal of approval. I just tested after install for wing rock and for low alt stutters. All seems good.

Work fine for me

Strange you say that. I ran 344.11 and had to go back to 340.52
Every time I attempted to launch falcon I kept getting some sort of error message. It was only with 344.11. But we do have different gpus so maybe thats the problem???

My buddy had this issue when he first moved to 344.11 (he is running SLI 770s) and he had to go into the user/config folder and delete the dx9display.dsp file. Don’t worry the sim will create a new one.
My BMS paused for a second or two on first moving to 344.11 and running BMS for the first time after the driver update (only on the pre-launch screen) but has been rock solid with no delays at all since then.

Gtx 670, win 7 64,
344.11 is good with focus shadow and focus reflections UNCHECKED.
I jumped the gun ones more…sry
BIG stutter in Battle for Balkans when using tgp and target is hit. Fps drop to 10-20 fps with these. 306.97 again
