Game stutter with the latest nvidia drivers
Hi all, i have a small problem with the game scrolling...recently i have bought a new video card (nvidia 660 gtx 2 giga on board).
The scroll is smooth and run well with 314.22 whql nvidia driver, if i try to upgrade the video driver up the "314" i have ingame huge stuttering.
Is a driver problem or simply i must change something in my configuration?

I have tested "wing commander saga" and "Freespace 2 GOG  with the latest engine version 3.7.1 and mediavp 2014".

My system: Win 7 64bit with 8 giga ram. cpu: athlon fx 6100, nvidia 660, motherboard asus m5a88v-evo.

Why using so old driver? Latest one is 335.23, everything works fine on 334.89 using GTX 660 (I'm too lazy to update).
Get latest driver from here: http://www.geforce.com/drivers

Re: Game stutter with the latest nvidia drivers
Becouse the 314.22 is the only working "stable" driver with open freespace engine (no problem with the scroll and it is smooth). I have already tried the 335.23, 334.89, i have some troubles with them (heavy scroll stuttering) so i have reverted on the 314.22 at least for now. I am waiting for a little help to understand more about this problem and to know if is possible a solution so i will can upgrade again to the last nvidia driver.

Anyway thank for your reply :P

Re: Game stutter with the latest nvidia drivers
See if 320.18 still works for you. If it does, and 320.49 see's stuttering occurring, then the issue is with PhysX as 314.22/320.18 both use the same PhysX version.

Not that FSO needs PhysX mind you, but that would be the most likely place to start.

Re: Game stutter with the latest nvidia drivers
I have already tried the 320.18, i have heavy stuttering with them, last stable driver release for me is the 314.22.
In the last days, i have found a official nvidia news ...(they had a huge improvement to vsync code for the 600 nvidia series, near  to may of the last year and the 320.18 is the first driver to incorporate this upgrade). So for me, they have broken something.
Now i have found a partial fix and i can use the last nvidia driver .... if i use under opengl full vsync, i still have stuttering, but if i adopt adaptive vsync i have a smooth scroll. (i dont know the why, but at least it seems to work for now).
