Noell, 81.95 are out, I have heard good things

[psolk]

Might be worth a look. I heard they even have an FS9 profile in the drivers now. Hopefully they have finally resolved our issues...

Hiya Paul...How are you doing?? Happy Holidays!! Thanks for the heads-up on the 81.95's...Look Forward to checking them out...

I've seen the FS9 profile in several drivers...Hasn't everyone...Just trying to think back to when I first noticed it...I'm not sure but I thought even in some of the 7 series??

Speaking of profiles...You have sure been keeping a "Low" one...he he

Hope All Is Well...

whats so whoop de doo about an FS9 profile?
The Nvidia profiles suck anyway, they are mostly "tweaked" for best performance which means no AA or AF, i always create my own, you get 100% better results anyway.

Hello,
I use the XG V2 version with success.

[noell]

The 81.95 drivers are the best I've ever tried.
I was very pleased the 81.95 in its un-tweaked stock nVidia version but
the XG'd version (XG81.95v2)from http://www.tweaksrus.com/ performs even better - high FPS, great IQ and smooth as silk (IMO).

I first installed XG81.95v2 on Nov. 24th. That's a record for me. Almost a month with the same driver!

Noell. thanks for the news. I guess I will be updating and keeping my fingers crossed that they support the whole dual card three monitor setup...

Chuck,
I have been keeping a low profile for a few reasones. First off the back aint so hot. Recovery hasn't been what we expected. Second is I NEVER got to the bottom of the out of memory errors. So I did what any good simmer does and blew everything away. I am now in the process of installing my add-ons one at a time testing a few flights with each add-on installed until i can replicate the out of memory message. i did it the right way this time though. I created two partitions on my array. This way I can dualboot and leave FS in its own OS entirely... It is a very nice setup as I can format my FS build as often as I want without worrying about my other games, dvd encoders etc...

So as of now I have a vanilla FS with ActiveCamera, FSBuild, FSUIPC and as far as aircraft just
PMDG NG
PMDG 744
LVL-D 767

I had LVL-D flying into all of my problem airports without issue for almost 40 hours straight. Now I am trying it with a F/P from FSB to see if having the Sid/Star in the F/P can cause the error...

So in other words, I am on a mission.

Hope all is well with everyone, happy holidays,

Stinking NVIDIA ####'s. No luck on the 81.95 for me. Anything after the 78.05 has the exact same affect on my setup. I fire up FS, alt-enter to undock my windows, drag them to the second and third monitor (second 7800 card) and the alt-enter to go full screen again. As soon as I try to go full screen the whole system locks up. Theonyl drivers that work are the 78.05. Pity...

Just back in the saddle so to speak after a Christmas vacation......
Yeah. I'm still using XG81.95v2. It definitely has been the best driver I've tried so far and its also the driver that I've kept on my system for the greatest length of time.

I see that 81.98 has been released. I plan to give it a try real soon.
