New NVIDIA drivers
-
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

hmm for now they r giving me Hell… I’m on vga resolution right now… The third time installing them I believe they will work…

damn they tossed older VGA’s ^%$&%^I*&$#^$%$^&%^&%$^%

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

This last time I ‘upgraded’ to the new drivers, my rig $#!+ the bed, and I was down for the week missing good stick time. The NVIDIA setup is too problematic, and I wish I could just get a good stutter-free config that’s guaranteed to work PnP with minor, guaranteed tweaks. I’m at least operational, and I want to keep it that way for a while.

Your video card setup is close to mine and I don’t have any issues with running 344.11 drivers. You have to be particular in how you set up SLI (Nvidia Inspector for me) and how you un-install and re-install drivers (Nvidia un-install of the old ones is no bueno IMHO) so when I have to go through this process it takes me probably 10-15 minutes to set it up but the payoff is stutter free performance in triple screen Nvidia Surround mode. A well spent 10-15 minutes to be able to run the most recent video drivers for other gaming goodness to me.

I think me driving a total of 7 monitors, with 3 of them 27inchers in single NV Surround screen mode (5760x1080), limits some of my configuration options (Windows shows 5 monitors available). I am not running SLI since that further limited how I could attach and drive 4 other monitors for touch screen side cockpit panels and the front console with the extracted gauges/MFDs with the Cougar MFD option. I tried adding a 3rd video card to drive the 4 basic monitors (not the NV Surround set), but the mobo didn’t accept it. I’m in the config you see in the signature.
Never the less, if you would please, I’d be very interested in screen captures of your NVIDIA settings, as well as what you had to do with the HW set up, and Inspector software. I continue to have stuttering, even with the shadows turned off. Mostly it’s near the ground with a busy airbase, or when there are a lot of aircraft in the air around me. Very distracting.

Tried these n344.11 drivers and they messed up my Dlink monitors not recognized anymore. Previous drivers did not do this. I tried several times and ended up rolling back the earlier ones and presto DLink monitors recognized.

Good point as I also changed up to using my laptop to drive the 4th monitor for MFDE as my experience has been that MFDE runs better in server/client than in stand alone mode. The main system ran just fine running four monitors prior to this change. The only reason for the change was MFDE itself. So I am currently only driving the three monitors at 6010x1080 off of the main system.
I could link to you my current setup but most of the modifications made under NVidia Inspector are SLI based which won’t help your setup. I have seen some people talking about successful newer driver setups without SLI but you would have to research and test to see what works.
One of my things for NVidia is I don’t install anything but the driver and PhysX. I don’t need the 3D drivers, the HDMI audio, and definitely not the NVidia Experience. So what I do is to manually (through windows programs and features) un-install the PhysX and the video drivers then after a few reboots while windows sets up it’s own video driver then I run the updated NVidia setup and make sure to select the clean install and only having the driver and PhysX selected.
I then re-build my NVidia Inspector profile for BMS. I know it has a save and load feature but I haven’t had any success at that actually working. I.E. I have attempted the save and load feature of inspector but the stuttering remained. I then deleted the loaded profile and re-built it manually then it works fine.
Even so I can PM you screen shots of my adjustments that allow me BMS goodness and you can test to see what helps or doesn’t for you.

That would be great. Thanks. I have a couple laptops that might just work for C/S MFDE config. I might have a few more options available if I have one less monitor to push, and then be able to go to SLI. Appreciate the collaboration…
