• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

2nd Bad nVidia Driver!

Well, on my rig, with the newest nVidia driver, I couldnt run P3D V4 in full screen mode, 4k rez. Just a gray screen.

Second update back broke full screen in X-Plane 11.

Windows 7 Ultimate / GTX 660 2 Gig GC / 8 core chip on the main board (not the GC).

Whats up with nVidia? (grumble.... grumble grumble grumble... )
 
Yep.. I rolled it back.

I run it in 4K mode when I take screenshots. Usually testing is in 2K mode. Runs fast, loads fast. Updated this morning. Update is 411.xx

argh....
 
So is mine.
I read on some guru's forum or blog, that if you have a driver that works good, stick with it. Don't chase constant driver updates. Wait until others have verified their functionality, THEN update, if you really must.
I've been using the same drivers for my 660 for I don't know how long. Years, for sure. They work fine for me, so I figure, why mess around updating. I, personally, use the time saved to go flying :D

Have fun all!

to be fair to nvidia, the 660 is getting on a bit now (6yrs old!) .. it'd be like having to make a p3d v4.4 plane work (with all the same features!) in fsx!
 
Yeah, the 660 IS old, no question. By the same token, so is FSX, and FS9 is even older.
AND, given how CPU dependent FSX/FS9 are, they work fine, even with a 660 or two. I don't have P3D, so I can't speak to it's capabilities, and CPU/GFX needs. I know you need a more powerful CPU for it than for FSX, does it need a better GFX card(s)? No idea. Most likely. Newer drivers? Almost certainly.
I was just saying that if you find a GFX card and driver set that works well in your system, why mess with it? If it aint broke, don't fix it.

That's all, and just an opinion. I've found it successful for me, on my system.
Have fun, all!
