New (to me anyways) Nvidia drivers

[OldProf]

I've allowed several of these drivers to install, but each one is built to address the needs of one or more specific games and TS is not on any of those lists. I'm pretty sure that means that we don't get any help from these auxiliary drivers.

I just installed this latest one on mine after reading this and it seems to be making things faster. I haven't had a chance to do any serious checks yet but will over the weekend. I went to the 82 not the beta.

And you would be wrong, sir. I already stated that I saw an increase in frame rates in relation to TS2014, as have several others. Plus, if you are just willy nilly removing and installing drivers, your Windows Registry is by now a mess. It doesn't really matter, in my experience, that every game I run is covered in the list of improvements with a newly released driver. But I suppose you already know all there is to know about these things, eh?

Just my opinion. I am allowed to have my own opinion, right?

This is why I save installers for certain drivers in my documents. Some drivers cause instability, slow some games, or don't want to remember things like the NCP settings between cold boots. Those drivers get deleted, but the ones that work well I keep and don't update anymore unless I really have to.
I was forced to update the other day because the new GPU wasn't being identified by the old 310 series.

I didn't say anything about uninstalling drivers, much less doing so "willy-nilly" ... I just leave them there, figuring that they don't do any harm. I also clean my registry regularly. And I also did not claim to know "everything about these things". If you wish to attack me, please do so on the basis of what I actually write, not what you imagine I might have written so that you could attack me. Ora basta!

Peace on Earth children. It's the season.

Wasn't an attack, not like the one you said to JP. Again, just my opinion.

Sop in the Holiday spirit, I'll offer this edited post: "And you would be wrong, sir. I already stated that I saw an increase in frame rates in relation to TS2014, as have several others.

And, if I may recommend, it is always a good idea to uninstall your current drivers before installing a new set. I have found in the past, my own experience, the old drivers can mess things up with the performance of newer drivers.

Ummm, what???????

[arizonachris]

what could Harry Zone 51 possibly mean in adding "Edit, wrong driver" in his first post here? thi's a tiny little irritating, don't you think? Is the train now in the tentacles of aliens or what.

Finally read that untill I kinda understand it. sorry that I mis-quoted the correct driver number in my first post, then edited it to correct my mistake. No aliens on trains around here, unless you count those from south of the California border.

As for what to correct, what is wrong with this new driver, you should ask the Nvidiot Corp about that. We simple humans cannot fathom the inner workings of a video driver, let alone "install those suggested improvements".

Have some sunday morning tea and a biscuit or two, relax and enjoy driving a train to nowhere, or two.

While I'm playing with my trains, I swear these new drivers learn and adapt... That can't be right, but I've seen what looks like performance improvements during play...

You said something in another post about how not clearing the blueprint cache helped the game. Maybe it's the game learning, not the drivers?

That could be. I do clear the blueprint cache when something like a reskin doesn't show up the first time, but I've learned to not mess with it too much.
I'll even go into the particular route or asset that has been modded and delete the individual cache for that DLC.
