have you guys tried the new beta 174.74 drivers?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x ... _whql.html
I use them for the 8800GTX in WinXP x64 (but the XP version)
also, use Nhancer Beta with these and set it up as such:
http://forum.nhancer.com/showthread.php?t=269
=================================
Install and run the latest version of Nhancer. It does NOT need to boot with Windows or have a tray icon since the service runs in the background and will properly influence the settings. When it is first run select NO to have it run with Windows or have it place an icon on the tray.
NOTE: FOR VISTA ALLOW THE SERVICE TO INSTALL WHICH IS NEEDED TO OVERRIDE UAC
With any driver above 163.xx Nhancer can no longer delete the profiles as it did in the past, instead the way you OVERRIDE the FSX and FS9 profiles is do the following:
NOTE: you can see IMAGES of the following settings at the BOTTOM of this thread: http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_p ... 25186&PN=1
a.
Scroll down the profile list until you find the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (or) Microsoft Flight Simulator X profile. Click on it once to highlight it. Once it is highlighted, click the DUPLICATE button. You will get a message, select YES to complete the duplication. What that will do is DEACTIVATE the Nvidia profile and ACTIVATE your new duplicate.
b.
With the new profile in the list, make sure there is a bullet in PROFILE on the right. Go down the list on the right and select the following:
AA:
For FSX select SUPERSAMPLING and 8xS (use 8xS Steve)
NOTE: Slower cards and systems in FSX, set to MUTISAMPLING and 4X or SUPERSAMPLING and 4xS
NOTE: FOR THE BETA VERSION THIS HAS CHANGED... SET AA TO COMBINED 8xS
Under the next box, check GAMMA CORRECTION
DO NOT ENABLE THE SECOND SUPERSAMPLE FEATURE IN THIS AREA
UNCHECK "ENHANCED AA" if it is checked by default
AF: CHECKED
Bullet in: 16X
VERTICAL SYNC: CHECKED, Bullet in: FORCE ON
OPTIMIZATIONS Tab:
Texture Filtering CHECKED Bullet in - High Quality
Trilinear Opt CHECKED, Bullet in - Off
Aniso. sample opt. CHECKED, Bullet in - Off
Negative LOD BIAS, CHECKED, Bullet in - Clamp
Check the next three items but do not change their values
COMPATABILITY TAB:
Place a CHECK in all header values but only change the following if needed:
Force Mip-Maps = NONE
Conformant Texture Clamp = ON
Hi Dynamic Range HDR (Enabled)
All others should be at their default values.
Under the CPU Multicore Support, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CPU YOU USE:
FOR WINDOWSXP SET CPU TO SINGLE
FOR WINDOWS VISTA SET CPU TO MULTICORE
Repeat the above for any other game profile as you may need it.
c.
In the main Nhancer Window, set the bullet to GLOBAL
Set the SAME settings on GLOBAL as you did above.
Close Nhancer and reboot.
