I heard that the new nvidia beta forceware driver, 171.16, has had some success in FSX. Any opinions on this?

Haven't even heard about these drivers yet. Where can you get them?

They're floating around on Guru3d website. Some who have tried it on FSX say it works well.

Maybe you could provide a link. I checked guru3d and nVidia but I can't find that driver.

Thanks. Looks like those drivers are for 32 bit operating systems, I have a 64 bit OS. I was looking forward to trying new drivers too :'(

How do you like your 64bit? Did it improve your sim?

This may sound pretty dopey, but how do I tell if my pc is 32 or 64 bit?

I though you had XP 64bit. I'm living in the past.

OK, I tried it. Don't like it. It kills my performance in anything but photoscenery. I went back to 169.21 and all is good now.
