Hardware & Technical Nvidia 347.09 thread

is it worth updating? Is there any benefit to the new drivers?

No, it just "optimizes" the in game graphic settings. I didn't notice any improvements.

It actually came out Dec 17th...I immediately downloaded it since it stated ED Support.

Well if you then roll back to the previous driver you are seeing your fps double ;-)
Good logic :) However if it ain't broke, my experience with nVidia, don't fix it. Seeking the extra 3-5% speed increase "for free" always comes with drawbacks, like major bugs in other games for example. And in the end its way overrated, like "wow I got 10 FPS extra in my game, i'm running at 65 FPS now" *

I use the drivers that work with all games without bugs and then stay with them. If a performance increase is desired, I change the card/computer instead of looking for "free miracles". ;)

* If you game seriously, get a decent, err no sorry, an AWESOME desktop gaming rig and replace it at least every 4 years. Otherwise you really don't know what you are missing ;)
 
New GeForce Game Ready Driver - 347.09 Beta - for ED

"The latest GeForce Game Ready driver, release 347.09 Beta, ensures you'll have the best possible gaming experience for... Elite: Dangerous"

Downloading as I type...
 
I noticed a "new" feature in the optimization of the graphics that I didn't realize.
Normally, I run the game @ 1920x1080, but the optimization recommended me to run @ 2715x1527 DSR, which then will be downscaled to my native 1920x1080.
And man, what a difference! Sure, the fps gets a bit lower (but stilll 42 inside stations) but that's so worth it.

But then again, maybe this feature's been around since alpha and I'm a complete idiot...;)
 
Seriously this thread appears about 50 times a day because nobody uses search.

And it's in the wrong forum, every single time.

Pushing down worthwhile threads, it wears a bit thin after a while. :p
 
Yeah, a really pointless nasty response.

Pointing out that a thread which appears multiple times daily in the wrong forum is pointless and nasty?

The driver does absolutely nothing except break OR support, causing people to roll-back. Really just let it die already, it's helping nobody.
