Hallo.Yesterday i have installed the new display driver 182.08: results a loss fps (with driver 180.48 recorded mission 72fps, avg 60 max 82 with monitor frequency activated) 35-42fps with stutter...Cpu quad 6600 2gigaram nvidia 8800ultra xpsp2 no nhancer.Is there anybody with the same problem? Sorry for english
just go back to previous one, this new driver suck... I got the same framerate loss in Farcry 2, and it s driver related. i have a GForce 8800GTX.
I have found that 181.20 WHQL is the best driver for my 8800GT. Drivers beyond this one seem to slow my video card. I went through this when I had a 7950GT. I think the problem stems from Nvidia making new drivers for their newest cards, but giving them backwards compatibility with old cards. Unfortunately, they are not optimized for the old cards and often hurt their performance.
I've have downloaded for my GT8600 and most of my games has up to 20% better performance. Far Cry 2 even went up to 38% performance boost, so this is one of those drivers that works a charm on one pc and not on the other...

Pilots yes, the new Nvidia Driver cited in the topic, have a terrible drop in FPS I am owner of a Nvidia GeForce 8800 XFX 512mb, with the previous driver was spinning everything smooth as oil.
So it was not my imagination, these drivers do not give a good longevity to the game.
Excuse me for my English Googleliano :wink:
Hi! I've a GTX 280 and I'm returned to 178.24 (75fps normally with drops to 65). With the latest 182.08 I've had heavy fps losses (34-41 normally with 56 average)
After testing all the new nvidia drivers exept the new one i went back to the 178.24 driver. this driver seems to be the one that works the best on my computer pluss the computers with the 8800 cards that friends of mine are using.
One that changed it back to the 178.24 got ride of the stutter and low FPS after removing the 182.08.
The 180+ drivers might have a better FPS in far cry and games alike but this doesnt help alot when it accually slows down IL2.Exept if you allready play these other games to then its a trade off.
My system is intel core duo E8500. 2 gb of ram. XFX 8800 gt.1 gb of ram. Winxpsp3
You might also want to try one of the 5dlls pack as this has alot to say also and can be found here on AAA.
yesterday i did the same thing, installed new drivers for a reason--180.48 crashed hell a lot. i this new driver to implement the new water so much better meaning, i can play water 4 without any stutters at all

here are my options from invidia control panel(starting from the bottom)(Global Settings)
you can set to program setting, and have individual settings for each program
Vertical sync.....Force on
Triple buffering....on
Threaded optimization...on
Texture Filtering-Trillinear optimization....on
Texture Filtering-quality....quality(if you se it to high quality, you will lose significant amount of FPS with no difference in visuals)
Texture Filtering-negative LOD bias....allow
Texture Filtering-Antistropic sample optimazation....off
Multi Display....Multi display performance
maximum prerendered frams....3
force mipmaps...none
extension limit....off
error reporting....off
Conformant texture clam....Use hardware
Antialiasing-transparency...Supersampling
skip one
Antialising-Mode....application controlled
Antialising-Gamma correction....on
Antialising filtering application controlled
any questions? just ask!

I am using 182.06 with good FPS, i notice improvement in aquamark03 test, do you have shure 178,24 is the best? can you compare?
MOD is LIFE!!
No but in aempirical way: with the same settings (of course on the same computer)...about minus 20/30 fps. The same thing with Armed Assault
As soon as I loaded the new drivers,and started the game, the screen went blank and the computer wouldnt respond. Resulting in a system crash and a reset was preformed.and the old drivers reinstalled .Gent's be shure if you get one of these new cards the factory only sets the fans to run at 40% and thats not nearly enough to cool when gaming.

hi to everybody.I have made some experiments.Risol.1280x1024 il462409b1 odded no AAAui + and tracer+vas explosion+buffymodded+alot hit flash+smokefirejay land3landdet3 water3 effect 1 dll modded. 1) my nvidia control panel 2) general psycho control panel. Driver 178,24 1) avg 56 max 84 2) avg 51 max 84 smooth over town to low altitude; driver 180,48 1) avg 64 max 77 2) avg64 max82 to lot stutter low altitude; 181,20 1) avg 38 max 70 2) avg 34 max 66 not playable for lag and stutter. I also have a defect with horizontal black lines on the footstep of flight in asphalt with every driver.I think that every person has to find alone the solution unfortunately and this could explain because one has hit of fps on a mod and others no.

bug of the regulation nvidia of the monitor: activates the digital hulling at 100%when you touch the other cursors, solution digital cursor avant and back after the other regulations.
Other ideas? Experiments. I hope that they serve these news.Sorry for automatic english. :lol: Ciao a tutti
I've had the same experiences here with my 9600GT. Any drivers newer than 180.48 halves my fps in Il-2. I tried changing just about every setting I could find but nothing would help. Does'nt seem to effect any other games that I play like this.
