TES Skyrim 0.193

I had to set UseDefferedRendering to false. When it was true, texture dispappeared when inside an interior.

Nvidia users;

I would be careful when going up in driver versions with Nvidia, my brother just had his card (GTX 670 2 GB not OC) fried with what he told me was the latest drivers. He ended up having a for instance black background with red stripes divided in vertical sections all over his screen. I don't know exactly which version he used but it was fine for over a month and today he got a new SSD drive and with that comes a new Windows install and he thought he would test the latest driver to see if somethings had been improved since the version he used.

With the results in hand I would defintely say no!

Sorry Boris for this Off-topic post, but thought I would mention it to warn folks about driver versions.
If the current display driver functions well there is no need to upgrade just because they are new.

I don't think drivers can fry a card. What was the brand of the card? Maybe it's PSU fault

[--JawZ--]

Fried might not have been the most appropriate word as that more relates to being useless, but it was still able to render images albeit in a broken way.

Why wouldn't the drivers be able to do such a thing? Drivers control the card and how it should run. And it was functioning as it should up until he installed the display drivers.
It was a MSI GeForce GTX 670 2GB reference built card.

Just because it happened to my brother's card with his PC setup does not mean it will happen to everyone, I just posted the previous comment to make people aware that it's a possibility for it to happen to some other unlucky fellow out there.

This new version works like magic so far. Gained few more fps and runs smoother but thats an AMD card with just:
ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=false
DisableDriverMemoryManager=false //would this work as true?
windows are =false

Since the dawn of time actually Nvidia and others calculate safe zones these safe zones people know as "overclockability" if the driver pressures this safe zone it's problematic (different timing behavior)
There is no overclock anymore it's fully commercialized by now

It's very rare that drivers cause the direct failure of the card this happens most of the time when the fan control is damaged, happened Nvidia already.

And with Windows NT 6 it's even not so easy as the Card would TDR if it gets unstable and the Driver reset.

I couldnt make 32 act any different

Don't know what this means.

I tried make it act like 3-4-9, its alittle out o context without my previous comment
Apology got guests earlier, not been able to log on until now. But I see tests where done shortly after I left, going to try new version now ^^


Drivers can fry cards, in some cases it can be prevented by setting own fan speed curve with MSI afterburner or similar. Unless card/s are on water :>
Default fan speed curve is on all air cooled cards today to relaxed (constant low noise but high temps). Fan speed max on 85%(atleast nvidia), so no chance to make it "throttle" by the time its to warm on air to be safe. Not sure how it is with AMD, but I prbly set fan speed curve there to myself if I owned one ^^

with the last 0.193 game run smoother for me, but it is strange, I cannot change my graphics settings in the Bethesda options (ex: I cannot change the luminosity...)

Also WHen I try to change the bloom parameters in the ENB settings during game, it seems that he Day and InteriorDay are inversed in some area.
I cannot change the skylighting settings too (I'm not even sure that they're applied).


My config : AMD SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB/16Gb Ram/Win8 x64

WOW, the latest version runs like a dream for me

Works best for me with just: ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true enabled

Runs smooth as silk with no crashes with nearly all 2k+ textures, 1080p resolution , Nvidia 4xSSAA and over 200 mods

Thanks Boris!! ... I can start to enjoy playing the game again!!


i7 3770k @4.1hz, 8gb Corsair RAM, 3GB EVGA GTX 780 SC+ACX Cooler, OCZ Agility 240gb SSD, Windows 7 64-bit

Nice to hear good progress on this memory problem is being made
That 3GB gtx 780 would be great as well.

Noticed a SOLID improvement in interior cells as well, + 5 FPS !
Well, well done.

All

Anyone out there using latest Nvidia beta 326.19 drivers ?
