    Increasing Framerate on the new Nvidia drivers and World of Warcraft.

    If you've updated to Nvidia drivers recently, you may have noticed a decrease in framerate by quite a lot, this is caused by two things:

    The 3D Vision Stereo Drivers
    The new "Ambient Occlusion Effect"

    First of all, we're going to go over disabling the new "Ambient Occlusion Effect" as this is the largest increase in framerate.

    Disabling Ambient Occlusion

    1 ) Go to your desktop, right click on your mouse and select Nvidia Control Panel


    2 ) Select the Advanced View option if you haven't already.


    3 ) Go to Manage 3D Settings and disable Ambient Occlusion, Now click Apply. and close down the Nvidia Control Panel.


    Disabling the Nvidia 3D Vision Stereo Drivers

    1 )

    XP: Go to Control Panel and select Add or Remove Programs
    Vista/Windows 7: Go to Control Panel and select the Uninstall a Program option(image below):


    2 )
    Select the Nvidia 3D Vision Stereo Drivers and click Remove or Uninstall and Change on Windows 7/Vista(can also be done by Right Clicking and selecting Uninstall and Change)

    3. After uninstalling the 3D Drivers, restart your computer!

    Hopefully this will sort out all of the problems to do with the new Nvidia drivers. Join me in my topic next week as I discuss configuring your World of Warcraft Graphics for the best performance without hindering quality!

    Yes, but this is for people who have had problems with the framerate with the new drivers. Not everybody is as lucky as you.

    Are you sure you're on the 190.62 drivers then? Because Ambient Occlusion has been supported since the 185 beta and it's there for me on 190.62 Windows 7 64bit with my overclocked 9600GT.

    im going to try out a program called nhancer u can get it at http://www.nhancer.com/downloads/nHa...3_B2_Setup.exe

    it allows you to create profiles for the global 3d settings and it shows the enable/disable Ambient Occlusion... too bad the servers are down and i cant test it out

    I was really exited about this because i´ve been getting really crap framrates even though a good computer and Nvidia 8800 GTX card. Unfortunately these options you say to disable were already standard...

    I don't have any "Ambient Occlusion Effect" settings and there is no such a thing like "Nvidia 3D Vision Stereo Drivers" installed on my computer.

    Perhaps it's only an option for Windows Vista and Windows 7?
