If you are happy, we are happy

The only thing that annoys me I that I already have these drivers loaded. Tell me the specs of your PC and I will run to buy the same

On a more serious note, good for you, you are lucky you can enjoy the game now!!!!

Obviously the new driver installation did some changes somewhere and unleashed a whole lot of power!
If it can happen? I can say yes, we had that same experience back in 2004 when we were running IL2 with the ATI Catalyst 4.9 drivers but with the ATI 4.7 atioglxx.dll and had 50% higher fps with the same quality (we had 9800pro and X800 cards those days....).

I wish we could find what it is and I wish it could do the same to my Win7-64bit...

I think it's quite safe to call BS on this one.

Is it worth updating to them though?

I'm on the 280.26 set.

No discernable improvement in game with latest drivers, but strangely I get driver crashes after I close the game. Peculiar.

I'm sorry to those who don't believe me.....all I did was upgrade from the 280.26 32 bit drivers I had, to the new (non-beta) 285.62 32 bit drivers that came out several days ago, and went from 12 to 15 fps. to 0ver 55 fps......I had cleared out and removed all traces of any Nvidia drivers and applications from my computer and started over with the whole WHQL 285.62 32 bit driver system and thats all....I have no Idea what it did to my system, but it took off............

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.

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.
