ruudmeij Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Don't use this for P3D v2.5 because you lose your runway lights again. Cheers, Ruud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Hickerson Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Gee, I thought Nvidia would tell you if there was a new driver set needed, if you wanted this service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkH Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Honestly, I installed this driver for GTA V and it gives me only troubles. First, all DSR modes were suddenly deactivated. Then, I realized that also other settings reverted back (I did not do a "new install"). Finally, GTA V crashes every 5 Minutes with a nVidia-related .dll error. Same for some other games. FS I did not even dare to test. I am going back to one of the older releases now, to much issues here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double J Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. Nvidia updates do NOTHING for FSX or P3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpkatlarge Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So what is the most recent recommended Nvidia release? I've not updated the driver for over six months because of continuing reports of problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friedi Gulder Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 347.88 was the last driver without problem in FSX and P3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermank Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I have a 760 GT card...every time I upgrade beyond the 344 series, things just do not look right. the temptation to tweak is hard to overcome. But, with fps locked at 30, I constantly push up into the 29+ fps...as someone else says, I have to learn that if it ain't broke, don't fix it..... ) Sherm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabble Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I foolishly updated before reading the warnings here - found my altimeter wouldn't work, and then other graphics glitches appeared. Serves me right - I've no intention of getting GTA V this side of budget anyway. Rollback time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkH Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Maybe it was me, but the installation of 350.12 ruined all my FSX-related settings. Meaning: all settings both in the nVidia control panel as well as in the nVidia inspector were back to default after the installation of this driver. Nice. Of course, I did not write my settings in the inspector down, bad mistake on my side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's recommended to export all the relevant profiles with nVidia Inspector before the installation of the drivers. Spirit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurizio Giorgi Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I've updated to the 350.12 driver in my laptop and FSX with DX10 doesn't present any problem by my side. Also the settings in the NVIDIA control panel for FSX were preserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurizio Giorgi Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 No, i don't, the process is simply automatic in Windows 8.1, you're asked to upgrade and the installer makes everything for you. I have upgraded every NVIDIA driver update, once time i had the release message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggy_D Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 OK, but I never let Windows update do anything with the nVidia drivers and I handle it with a clean install using a tool to remove the old drivers. Spirit Agreed. Hands down this is the best tool to clean/eradicate old Nvidia and AMD drivers before installing a new driver set: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit In my pc story i've never had problems with video drivers, maybe i was lucky Windows 8 is very affordable, at least by my point of view.... never a problem, super fast, i really like it, even if at the beginning i have had a long learning curve. But i have to say, all the programs work, the os opens in seconds, very nice to work with the 64 bit applications. For sure a clean install is safer, anyway til this moment i have upgraded 3 or 4 times the video drivers and everything went fine. The updater is managed by NVIDIA experience, not by the OS, i have upgraded from there, so it's an automation directly by NVIDIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordancollins Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 so has anyone got runways light in p3D with this driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mooney Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I think most or all are suffering with lost runway light with the last two updates, the last working one was 247.88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FS I did not even dare to test. I am going back to one of the older releases now, to much issues here... Not only did I have no issues with FSX, neither did I have issues with the hunting simulator "TheHunter" (played for 6 hours), plus I didn't have any single crash or glitch in GTA V in almost 15 hours. The driver doesn't have any problem. You need to properly uninstall, then use Guru3D's Display Driver Uninstaller. As for DSR modes deactivated, that was the case with me too, but is that really such an issue? All you have to do is check the appropriate check boxes, takes a few seconds at the most. As for anyone losing Nvidia inspector settings; that's what Nvidia Inspector's export function is for, to make backups. I make a backup of every edited profile. Backup people....do the same FSX or P3D....I just can't say it enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkH Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well, after a cleaning and proper re-installation of this driver I have to correct my negative statement. I was able to play GTA V over an hour yesterday without any issue and also FSX worked flawlessly. Seems to be a fact that I somehow installed the driver wrong in the first place. I remembered that I onced installed a modded driver to enable DSR, might be that some remainings of this modded driver did not go well with this newest release. Everything's fine now.

MichaelMoe Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I always use "window safemode without network" and then DDU un-installer . Works like a charm. Latest driver also installed because of GTA V . Did not try it on consoles though but its amazing . Only played about 1-2 hours so far. 60fps 1920x1200 is a blast (Very high settings, FXAA on ,no AA) Michael Moe I7-4770K stock speed for now (4,6ghz in P3Dv2) GTX780SC EVGA 8GB -1600 DDR3 Raptor 300GB SSD128 Windows 7 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
