GTX 460 drivers. - 8FS_austin - 29.11.2010
can anyone give me a little more info on the GTX 460 drivers?
iv heard there are some buggy ones with il2. im using the latest 260.99 drivers but im pretty sure all the strange cockpit lag iv had since i started upgraded to the 460 is a driver problem.
is there any drivers that are known to work best with il2 or anything like that?

I just saw this and now I am worried. I picked out a GTX 460 and am about to order off Newegg. It seemed like the best card for the money, but if it can't run IL-2 well, then it is worthless to me. If I am looking to spend in the $200 range, what is the best card?

I'm in the boat with you. 460 is the best card. However, it doesn't seem like there is a way to really unleash the full power of the card(s) with the current drivers. I've been trying to setup 460 SLi: In my experience, it seems that when I fully maximize the SLI potential, I get radical cockpit tearing. When I fix this cockpit tearing, then I get special effect smoke that flashes. To fix, I have to disable SLI and go with one card. After a week of tweaking, it seems one 460 runs the game great with vsync forced on and my frame-rate capped at 60fps (to match your screen refresh rate I guess). It runs the game exceptionally well this way with no tearing or flashing.
However, I'd like to push further because tc_hawaii still has slowdown and fraps causes slowdown...sometimes to unacceptable levels
I should add that I use some mods, trackir, fraps and I am exchanging one 460 because of a fan issue. There are a lot of factors...
I must say that I love the cards, even with the issues so far. I can see the potential. I'm running 80+ fps with Arma2 on highest settings and that is spectacular.

no. the 460 1GB is a great card. it can run il2 nicely. its just drivers are having problems. at least thats what it seems.

I have a GTX 460, runs sweet as a nut now.
Re: GTX 460 drivers. - DaveOD06 - 04.12.2010
what drivers are you using?
Re: GTX 460 drivers. - 8FS_austin - 04.12.2010
260.99.
and did you change those setting that fireskull recommended?
Re: GTX 460 drivers. - DaveOD06 - 04.12.2010
i dont have the card yet, but i ordered it literally the day the thread was posted, so when i get my new computer assembled i just want to know what settings i should use. I am currently rocking a Mid 2006 MacBook Pro 15" (Intel Core Duo 2.0 GHz with ATI Radeon X1600 and 2 GB of RAM) with Windows XP 32-Bit using Bootcamp. i am in terrible need of a gaming computer, so i saved enough cash to build one.
Re: GTX 460 drivers. - 8FS_austin - 04.12.2010
lots of games run good maxed out with it. il2 should run fine maxed out. i run everything maxed. on avg i get 60 fps solid with vsync on. some drops around lots of smoke fire etc....but its just cpu intensive for il2. be shure and get the 1GB version.
Re: GTX 460 drivers. - DaveOD06 - 05.12.2010
I also noticed the card i ordered does not list that it supports Open GL 4.0. It says that it supports DX 11. For some reason I was thinking that any card in the GTX 400 family would support Open GL 4.0 but apparently not? Is this going to be a big problem when Storm of War comes out?

Thank you, good to know.
