Nvidia drivers

[bracer]

Hey mates!
I just wonder if anyone have experienced any problems with some of the new drivers? Is any driver better than the other for playing SH3?
The problem is that I am having a really odd lagg in my game now, and I think it came just after I switched to some newer drivers...not sure....
Thx for any help!

No problem at all....
I have the NVidia GeForce 8400 GS (with latest driver) and never experienced any problem.
Perhaps you should check your configurations

which version?

I play 1.4b, with Racerboys SH4 effects, some new ships in the roster, Sergbutos cam mod, ai subs and a rez fix.
The lagg apears when the u-boat makes the water splash, it came pretty recently. I don't remember that I had any trouble with the explosions from the SH4 effects when I first installed it, and I haven't checked if I have a fps drop near explosions now. I just noticed this lagg, with no ships around and clear weather. I tried to remove the seafoam files that came with Racerboys mod, no difference.

The latest mod was sh4 effects and rez fix.

I have a quad core 2,4ghz, 2gig ram and a Nvidia 8500GT, drivers: 163.69, I tried 163.75 but switched back today... No problem with newer games, and I don't remember having this problem earlier. Windows Vista.....

I REALLY appreciate your quick replyis!!!
Thank you.

I don't have any problems with NVidia GeForce 8800. Why don't you try your old driver and see if you still have the problem? Kul att träffa en svensk ubåtkapten .

I've just tried to play the single mission Bismarck, going to surface, explosions everywere, and then playing the Scapa flow mission, calm weather just a few seagulls. I have no big fps difference between the two missions. I can't really find the words two explain the problem since my english is poor, but it's kind of really short pauses, and when I move the cam around it laggs a bit irregularly.

It sounds like a performance problem when I read what I have written, but I know what real lack of processor lagg looks like, and I don't think that's the issue....

My guess is that it's something with the water, but does Racerboys mod change anything like water particles?

Se där ja! Tjena! Finns ett gäng svenskar på forumet nu faktiskt!
edit: Har provat både 163.69 och 163.75.... Jag tar och provar några ännu äldre....

I'm going to try the newer nvidia. I have 163.69 and it works flawless. I also us Vista. I'll let you know what I find when trying the newer one on SH3.
