Nvidia Drivers 260.99 Poor performance with B3D??

| I found a big problem with the latest driver version from Nvidia, the newer version have a really poor performance with Blitz 3D. Anyone have the same problem? For example my new game Flying Sheeps : Nvidia Drivers 258.96 = FPS 624~ Nvidia Drivers 260.99 = FPS 150~ And my other game Red Flag! : Nvidia Drivers 258.96 = FPS 240~ Nvidia Drivers 260.99 = FPS 100~ Blitz3D version 1.103.

| I'm not a nVidia user, so I can't comment on any differnces, but I am curious, are the games you've tested 2D or 3D? |

| Also, make sure to have the latest b3d - which is 1.106. |

| Welcome to reality where is no native DX7 support anymore. edit: Nevermind I don't want to sound too negative here. Actually I LOVE B3D and it's just a pity there was never a B3D 2.0. Please stop all comments about BMax (which I own and use for 2D stuff btw). immediately. *gg* I don't start any new projects in BB3D anymore I guess, maybe I just use it for rapid prototyping but anything more looks like a waste of time for me. It's only a matter of time when DX7 projects can only be started in some kind of compatibility mode on new Windows versions if they can be started at all... Last edited 2010 |

| Are you using readpixelfast* a lot? I found this horribly slow on Windows 7 (100x slower than Win XP) and seems to have halved in performance with the latest nVidia drivers again. Other than that tho everything seems to run fast enough. *writepixelfast and other pixel operations may also suffer. Last edited 2010 |

| Ok, I found the problem. Is Fastext and Fastimage... i going to try to contact MikhailV and see what happen... Pure B3D works fine with the latest Driver. Last edited 2010 |

| Tab, if you get an answer would you be so kind to post it here? Thanks! |

| @Xaron Sure, but i am still trying to contact him without lucky. Here the result of my tests. A test scene with 1000 cubes without FastImage. ( Pure B3D run faster on 260.99 )  A test scene with 1000 cubes with a simply image using FastImage.  Fastext DOF + Glow  Last edited 2010 |

| Tab, have you tried the latest BB3D 1.106 as you mentioned 1.103 before? |
| ||
| Tab, it might be a driver issue: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=183887&st=80 |
| ||
| @Tab: It is difficult to me to be responsible for drivers... |

| Don't worry MikhailV, I only want to know if you can do something with the problem, but if you can't... is simply a driver issue and nothing to do. |
