I've just upgraded my graphics card to an Nvidia 9800GT, which came with driver version 6.14.11.9045, driver date 8/6/2009. Is the best driver for FSX and this card still 182.50? Would appreciate any help with this.   :)

How do we tell which driver we are using? I have two 8800GTS (see sig line) cards. I read in these pages that some new driver that came out a few months ago was creating problems and that it was best to keep the old one. I have no idea which one I'm using. May have to check Speccy to find out...

You would right click on your screen, select properties/settings tab/advanced button/adapter tab/properties button/driver tab. (Windows XP)

I seem to be constantly un-installing and re-installing various drivers for my nVidia Winfast AGP 7800GS 256 Card.

Every now and again, annoying little anomalies pop up on my screen so I try a different driver.
Then I get a different problem, and I generally revert back to the original drivers that came on the CD supplied with my card!

"Newer" drivers give me more problems than "older" drivers... :(...!

It sometimes seems that the suitable drivers for "identical"

I know what you mean, Paul. Maybe I'll just stick with the driver that came with the card.  :)

I've used 182.50 since Nick recommended it about a year ago or so... it really does takes away stutters on my GTX 260.

He now says that 197.13 and 197.45 work well, but I can't vouch for that because they bring back stutters in areas with many trees. Give it a try though, every system is different, as he always said :)

Thanks, I may try these drivers.  :)
