[QUOTE="peque, post: 925616, member: 54451"] Hi all, It's quite easy to find forums to talk about nVidia drivers performance with the last 3D games, but it's not so easy to find info about 2D performance in such drivers. I would like this thread to be somewhere to talk about our experiences regarding nVidia drivers in a 2D perspective, so we are "aware" before upgrading, and how can we be affeted in our daily use of MediaPortal with them. I've found myself losing deinterlace capabilites, or render my system unstable when using refresh rate changer, after a driver update. Me, as many others here, has been noticing that 2D performance has been going down from 25x.xx to last available 306.97... That's why some of you mess with Tesla drivers to get them installed in "non" compatible nVidia cards, which seem to be better 2D/3D performance balance. You can find some more info [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/gt430-vs-gt520.104787/page-5#post-837499']here[/URL]. Thanks [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/owlsroost.83973/'][B][FONT=arial]Owlsroost[/FONT][/B][/URL]. My personal experience, regarding framedrops in 1080i HDTV, which IMHO it's the most difficult test for a video card, says that any driver above 27x.xx performs worse in every new release. I was using Tesla 276.42 modified to be compatible with my nVidia GT240. I had some BSOD, nothing really bad. Now I've upgraded to a nVidia GT630, hoping for less framedrops... but my results are more or less the same, at least using last 306.97 drivers... I still must test Tesla drivers with it (if that's possible, I'll see). Please, feel free to comment any other point of view. :) bye! [/QUOTE]
