For those who have been experiencing this for almost 3 years, get the 257.15 drivers and you'll have your DX 5 and 6 games working again.
wow, surprisingly good news 😀
Is this official? Where did you see it? Readme file? Changelog?
Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
also output=ddraw works now in DOSBox in fullscreen in WinVista/7. And it is not blur anymore 😀

I could notice that from my testings, it didn't happen with a single game... However there are still minor problems, like the AA bug on Falcon 4.0, Jet Moto got broken again and Flight Unlimited still can't run due of failing to set display mode to 640x480 (all other games can).

Eh, according to nvidia's driver page the latest drivers are 197.45

What "same result"?
this dummy head is always quoting whole last post when he wants to post anything
So he just confirms the topic

imho it isn't polite to call anyone "dummy head" it shows lack of respect

You all need to click on "Beta and Archieved Drivers" as it's a beta.

The first 1xx.xx driver from nvidia already had this bug.
It was exclusive in Windows XP drivers only. You won't see this happen in Vista/7.
One game that worked for me under vista but not xp was project igi
I wonder if that is now fixed

If it was affected by this slowdown problem it's fixed by now.
Project IGI was working in Vista on my ATI DX10 cards but not my NV 8800. Maybe it works now though with these new drivers.
Even on the Radeons though it has speed issues which is of course crazy at this point in time. It looked like there was something goofy going on with geometry culling.
I didnt have any speed issues, just green lines extending from the triangles under xp

Not every DX 5 and 6 game was affected by this. It took more time in some than in others to slowdown, so depending the time you played, you wouldn't notice, but most did in seconds. If your game was in the list, than it was certainly affected by this, as also stated from other people at the nvidia forum. If you never had slowdown issues with this game, it was never affected.
