My "thoughts" on this :wink:
Like
Michael and a few others here, me too I'm using old
NVIDIA drivers.
My system is well capable of running (and runs) Race ON with max detail at a frame rate well above my display screen capacity.
Like others I had nasty “freezes” in recent league/club events and that prompted me in a "quest" for a way around the problem for time being...
So far I'm using driver version 186.18; with good results but not perfect.
Did a recent 150 minutes club event without problems and I've been practicing for next league event without them too, but... the problem is there still, it just takes much more time to happen.
My idea is that If I really abuse my GFX card, changing tracks/mods, alt-tabbing in-out of the game into multiple applications at same time, eventually after a few minutes/hours will get a "guaranteed" "freeze".
Since in a single track load/single event (club/league) this driver’s version (186.18) has yet to "fail", I will keep them for time being.
There are many drivers (official & hacked) going around, yes recent driver changes made by NVIDIA really "kicked the lower belly" of their more conscious (former?) costumers so we must dig for an "old" driver solution, but... a few thing to have in mind:
- As already typed in this topic, some old drivers don't exist for newer OS
- Some old drivers run new applications (games) bad or not at all.
- Some old drivers do a poor job in a dual view system (some of you run such system).
- Likewise, some of these drivers don't support well (or again not at alll) a double card system (again some of you run this option).
Having the above in mind... good luck.:smile:
