From a gamer I know. (BringthePain)

I saw this on some forums and thought I would post it since most of us in here are running Nvidia. I tried this on my 9800 last night an it actually helped. The GPU also ran noticeably cooler.

Vista and Win7 OS only

Anyone that installed Nvidia drivers (257.21) or later, heres a tip. Chances are it auto installed the 3D Vision drivers. Well funny thing is, they are auto "ON" by default. So games that are 3D capable, even if you lack a 3D monitor to display it in 3D, the graphics card is over processing in an attempt to do so.

You can either :

A. Go to your run command, and go to "services.msc" and disable the Nvidia 3D vision process.

B. Go into the control panel, uninstall "JUST" the NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D driver .

After doing so, I was amazed to get 15 - 20FPS MORE in BC2. Prior I would dip down occasionally to 45FPS. Now I never drop below 55FPS and on avg. I'm well above 70FPS.


Hopes this helps some of you!

I'm not sure if I noticed any FPS gain, but at least it didn't mess anything up! I actually never plan on taking advantage of the 3D hardware. 3D glasses, and IMAX mess up my vision and such.

i found out that my video drivers were still at version 197(even though i have updated them in the last while) :P, so just installing the new ones helped me.
