Nvidia Owners: 285.36 Beta Driver has my game running spectacular

[RCAF_FB_Orville]

I'm running the beta drivers (clean install) with the beta patch (from a clean install) and it makes no difference whatsoever (GTX580). Still get stutters at low level (even with lowered settings) and awful slowdown with flame/smoke effects etc. Good framerates generally......just the micro stutters which are the main problem really. Plays Rise of Flight smooth as silk though, with excellent frame rates.

I wouldn't buy another thing 'for' this sim......its the crap unoptimised code that is to blame (which Ilya has essentially admitted) and you can't really buy your way out the problem; if you try to atm, you have more money than sense.

They are trying to fix it though to be fair, so we'll see.

EDIT: HANG FIRE! I'm actually using the 285.27 BETA drivers, NOT the 287.36, so my mistake (didn't realise a new BETA had come out). I'll give this a try and report back, hope it does better. Cheers.

EDIT II: Should I go for the .36 or .38? Since there is a good report for .36 I reckon I'll try that first.

They have done quite well so far in all honesty. Let's just hope they haven't hit a wall in terms of optimisation.

Ok,

Black Death with 280.26 driver,
Frames 6366, Time (ms) 216867, Min 9, Max 62, Avg 29.354

Black Death with 285.38 driver,
Frames 6304, Time (ms) 217143, Min 8 , Max 63, Avg 29.032

All settings Very High, epi off, ssao and V-sync on. 1920 x 1080.
Single card no sli, so maybe there's only an improvement with sli.

Plus v-sync enabled limits to 60 fps of course.

Here's one without v-sync but I've no benchmark to compare with old driver unfortunately;
Frames 6538, Time (ms) 216828 , Min 7, Max 80, Avg 30.153
