VGA Drivers: GeForce 177.79

The Problem:
Playing Unreal Tournament 3, with Physx enebled on 1360x768 (nvidia control centrum set on 720p output) with full amount of bots on highest options.
When starting one of the two Physx levels under the capture the flag option in single player, it stutters.
I gues it should work fluendly... why doesn't it?

Or should i adjust some physx options? I used system defaults (ok after activating physx)

Does that driver support PhysX? I thought that was only the 177.79. I'd try 177.79 anyway because it is a good driver, then try it again. It might be how you're running it on the monitor, but I doubt it. All the PhyX levels run great for me.

thats a lot of stuff going on, considering you are using physx on 8800gt. in general physx does give you a frame rate hit. I think your pc is behaving exactly like its supposed to be. try over clocking your processor a bit that will fix the problem. :) 

go and download the new 177.79 drivers from nvidia.

my 3dmark vantage score jumper over 2000 points after installing the drivers purely because of the new physx support on my 8800GTX.

so i'm sure it'll do wonders for UT3. i haven't tried it yet to see how it goes.

but your system should run UT3 better then what your describing though even with the old drivers. our systems are pretty much the same and i run it over 70FPS+ no matter what i turn on and up as far as i can.

bot AI = eating your CPU

Also do not enable 1080i it is tougher than 720p, and you screen is native to 720P, stick with that resolution.

A 1080i field is still more pixels than a 720p frame. Although a 768P frame would be about less than 1% larger than a 1080i field. Rememebr though, twice the frequency to display a 1080i frame.

Add to that the fact that the entire 1080P frame need to be held in buffer even when outputting interlaced fields, and your GPU, CPU and 'PhysX pseudo-PPU' need to consider the 1920x1080 FOV for physics instead of the smaller 720P.

PhysX drops your performance anyways, however there's ZERO benifit to outputing in 1080i, and alot of drawbacks compared to outputing the native resolution of your panel.

Sry, i have the new driver, this was the older version i wrote down.

But the problem is solved with this changes (see bold specs), but i expected the machine to run in Full-HD anyway.
