You edited your first post from 125FPS to 75FPS. If you go down a little bit MAYBE we can see that new drivers works nice in some perfromance bost in the 285. ;)

Absolutely!

I have them, the game runs nice and smooth, I even dropped SLI and run it on a single GTX570 as I have the fps (60fps at 3072x1024) and it is very smooth.


~S~

Jesus guys, what a bunch of self-congratulatory cynics.

Why would the OP even bother to come here and tell us if it wasn't true for him?

Perhaps the fact that he cleared entirely anything to do with his existing Nvidia drivers may have been the answer, maybe that was holding him back, but that at least is worthwhile info for anyone suffering similar problems and much more worth consideration than e-peening "its BS".

When I installed the second beta patch my fps went from 50-60 to 25-30.
Also when I installed the official patch it was still 25-30 fps and looked bad.
I changed the drivers and changed the resolution and wham 50-60 fps smoother than ever :)
maybe you were having the same glitch as me causing low fps.

I just tested the quick missions and they all run 60fps solid in most conditions. Game now runs better and smoother than IL2 46 ever did.

Also SLI seems to have improved too but still much smoother on a single card.

what mean you changed resolution? what was it before?

It's BS because of logic not e-peening because:

A) Editing his post from 125fps down is much more evidence of e-peening as you like to call it. Sounds to me like he compared his worst frame rate over London to an open sky view post driver install with a bunch of video settings changes thrown in to get his 800% improvement. Nobody is getting an average fps of 125fps. Starting to sound more like BS (or a bad case of apples and oranges) to you now?

B) nobody else is getting even close to that kind of improvement in this thread with the driver change.

Try using your noodle instead of assuming anyone gives a crap if someone else is getting great frame rates out of jealousy or whatever.

Seriously think first then post. I'm sure the OP can manage the responses just fine on his own.

First of all I didn't see his 125fps - which he had obviously already edited to 75 'due to misprint'. People make mistakes. You can surely believe 75 can't you? Mine's 60 clamped to my monitor refresh and would be much higher if it wasn't.

He also didn't come on here bragging, he offered the info with a kindly "I may have good news for you".

I have no reason to disbelieve what he says, it sounds reasonable to me and who are you to decide how he compared his results? In any case his current situation is clear, believable and offers some possibility to others who will give a crap if it helps them, more than your arrogant 'slam the door in his face' attitude.

We are supposed to be helping eachother on this forum not kicking someone just because you want to feel big about yourself.

As for him looking after himself, I'm sure he can but this is about me having had a gutful of negative knockers like you. If you can't find something constructive or helpful to say keep quiet.

I'm still looking for video or pics.

Yeah OP is obviously confused unless there is some magical way the sim runs perfectly on his unique old world setup....which means everybody will need to downgrade to his rig which is running perfectly...which logically seems mathematically improbable

Sounds like maybe he is getting 60fps outside the plane over the channel sure...

But 60fps over London with bombers and clouds while in the cockpit and trackir? There is no way with that setup....obviously. Perhaps he just excitedly posted the improvement without really testing over London with planes, etc.

Ok, deep breath...

I think you're getting too worked up about this and reading far more into it than is there. I call BS on the numbers for the simple reason that it is way too big a jump for a driver upgrade and the other responses corroborate.

You're assuming I'm just trying to be a dick about it and I'm not. I think we're all smart enough to figure out the disparity is from other things than a magical 800% jump in frame rate from a driver update so I felt no need to expand on that just to cushion yours or the OP's sensibilities. I'm sure he's a big boy and can take it without getting butthurt and I know you have the best intentions to shield him.

It's all good! :)
