Railworks America

Chris,
Have you updated to 335.23 yet?

I used to update to the newest drivers every time they came out, but I find my games look so much better with the disk drivers that came with my card. I'm not sure why everyone says not to use them because I've been getting way better results with the old ones

I've run into that too. I always keep the installer for a good set of drivers around, just in case a new driver backfires.
Simply rolling back doesn't always work right.
I've noticed that people that leave automatic updates on in Windows, will get a Nvidia driver update crammed down their throats sometimes.
I really wish Microsoft wouldn't update a critical driver like that. They usually botch GPU driver updates.

BTW Haystack, is your card an older one by chance? I've noticed that newer drivers don't always work so well with older cards, like the GTX 400 and 500 series series for example.

Nope. I've been very happy with the 332.21's. This latest Nvidia release will make two in the last month. Not really into doing the "driver dance".

Win8 been trying get me to install those drivers. Its the Intel drivers on here that really screw up this Windows computor, I had to backdate them since I would get a Memory usage high around 60% of memory used and it would kill Railworks. I'm running 326 by the way.

That's the one I am using also. I thought I remembered you saying that. That's why I asked. I think I'll hold off until I hear the results of one of you other daring lads. If it ain't broke don't fix it. GTX650ti boost here by the way.

My card is a GTX660, but I also had the same results with my old 9800GT.

I'm using the new driver, no issues for me.
