ATI and NVIDIA updates

So you use vSync with RF2, DD?

For some reason with rF2 I went back to no VSync.

In W7 this is super smooth for me.

All those times I installed W8.1, remember I complained about rF2 stutter but liked the rest of W8.1

Well I must never have tried GPU sync

Same now with new W8.1 the other day went perfect fast nice but my rF2 room was like a slideshow driving from pits.

You could notice 10 fps drops and rises just sitting in a car lol.


W7 - any sync is okay

W8.1 - no vsync horrendous stutter


What that is attributed to.......... I dunno lol p

Maybe old Inspector profiles or change in NVCP ( I have not really bothered to check it out yet )

So now W8.1 is great to drive but it's lower fps 5-10 or so.

Does not feel as super smooth as W7 but good enough to do close fast laps np.

Maybe that is the new driver I only tried it on the fresh W8.1 finally worked yesterday.

Timeout Detection and Recovery


My chrome is a old small standalone and un-updatable version :)

I never seen it crash.


I expect this would only help newer hardware.

Why not ?

I installed on a W8.1 OS.

Finally worked out why rF2 was stuttering........ needed to set GPU sync was all .........doh.

W7 I had no vsync and was smooth as silk ....... in W8.1 it is was horrible. lol

Is that RF2? Something about those graphics look very realistic. I can't explain it. Nothing fancy like most modern games, but it just looks...real. I think it's the environment graphics (houses, bushes, trees, etc.), they look like the texture is a real-life picture rather than something graphically modelled.
 
That`s dear old GPL (Grand Prix Legends) looking fantastic! Pretty good for a sim first released in 1998...

I agree, the screens do look very realistic.

I`m going to have to re-install this I think, been meaning to for a while now but if CCM is working with all mods (it didn`t used to) then it`s a must.

:)

You misread me tj


Actually CCM still only works with 1967 and 1969 1st edition and is even harder to get going these days.

I think it is the V1.3 patch and new drivers and video cards, BUT you can still sort it out.


Best way for CCM for 1967 and a test for Isle of Man ( IF it EVER comes )

1. Do a dead fresh GPLPS install

2. install CCM , path it to GPL.exe to start ( not GPL'69.exe )

3. Boot GPL, Boot Alison Hines Silverstone replay , fast foward it 1/2 way around track, click rollbar view should be above car not on nose, if so you know its working.

Click Insert and Delete to start camera movement.
If Del insert dont work retry replay and/or close GPL and CCM and reopen

OH ! Dont forget to " distribute" the GPL cameras to the cars

DD

Rest is like riding a pushbike.


once you get CCM working in fresh 1967 install mods , make all driver names ie: tj,67 , tj'69 , tjF2, etc etc
and install Gem.

hehe

It is what i say about GPL and others Spin for a decade

GPL looks like a plastic model kit you built and done a good job, the shapes and depth stand out like. You get that ?

Then you have one of those solid metal models you know the ones, they look nice in other ways, smooth, flowing, perfect ..... etc etc ...........That is pCars and AC kinda.


The plastic models to me although not as good in material present this more technical look. I know it sounds dumb.

Sort of like that if you get me.
 
Which is good advice for most situations.

Yeah I won't touch my W7 either ........like doesn't scare me lol p ( I use trueimage takes 3/4 minutes a restore my OSes)


But....... I downloaded anyways to maybe Test W10Home , also noticed July W10 drivers for chipset/management/sata/lan on my Motherboard page.
and Classic Shell beta with better W10 support.


I still debating it.......... lool
 
Thanks...but help guys, using 353.30 now and I've been having 'driver stopped responding (freezes PC), and recovers after several seconds or so. Don't you guys encounter this? When I searched, it brought about a thread from geforce (https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/833693/geforce-drivers/nvidia-driver-352-86-353-06-353-30-stops-responding-and-kernel-reloads/29/) w/ reports on the same problem, even with 355.60, so I'm not sure what would be a stable version. No wonder Chrome and some games started freezing randomly (though rarely, still annoying).

EDIT: Found this workaround: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/3do60l/if_you_get_the_error_nvidia_windows_kernel_mode/, anyone tried this fine?

Can't say I do but then again I do not run many titles.

Never have Chrome crash.

I been on W10 353.62 since release, too lazy to try to 355.60..... and don't want to hex it. p ;)

I have this issue using 355.60, Windows 10, but I have only had it happen at Monte Carlo track, so far, of the several tracks I have tried with this machine, OS, and Build 998. And at Monte Carlo it happens repeatedly

I had off experience with W10, not as bad as freezing though.

Was just the overall performance and feel was like something was turned up.

I found my problem ( vsync method) but even then it still was not as snappy as W7 so I went back for now.
 
One thing gets lost, from time to time and that is, that every driver published does not get work with all computer setups. Sometimes you have to revert back to one that did work for you.

Safe to say that the last year, I have had more driver versions not work right on my setup. Such as momentary black screens with no error, etc.

Right now running 353.54 nVidia on win10.

The 356.04 developer's driver fixes an sli memory leak and provides very good performance in rF2, particularly in sli mode. W7, 8, 8.1, 10 x64 bit only.
Results so far indicate less stuttering and slight frame rate increase at high resolutions (7680x1440).

My card is running at a higher temperature with this driver. 78deg compared to about 58deg and performance seems better. Cannot check the fps as I have them capped at 60. With the last driver I had some issues mid way through the race with the physics bar going crazy and lag from hell.
 
I don't know what ATI driver update it was recently, but earlier in the year I couldn't overclock beyond 1050 (core) without the driver crashing. Gave it another go yesterday and viola...1100 straight off the bat with no problems, this is all in Crossfire BTW. I may push the envelope a bit more to see where the tipping point is!
