      I just tried the new driver release from Nvidia ver. 285.79, sadly it doesnt fix the issues with openGL; specifically, the mouse and tools trails that have been happening in versions 285.38 and 285.62. This reallly is making me consider ATI, Nvidia, get your act together or lose a long time user.

      OS/Hardware:
      Win7 64
      Sager NP7280
      i7 980x
      SLI 460M
      12gb

        Interesting. Traditionally nVidia has been much better than ati for sketchup. Have you found an older driver that works for you? I haven't updated my driver in a long time. It always seemed good in theory but at best I noticed no improvements. At worst, it caused new issues.

          No issues with the Quadro drivers they work fine -- it's seems this is just gamer card driver problems.

          Best,

            the recent updates are mostly aimed at BF3 problems.

              I just updated yesterday to 285.62 WHQL, I bought a GeForce GTX 590 (to use for Lumion) so far it's all great, running 3 monitors, SU issues all sorted out (was having an issue with previous driver)

                Sorry to hear about your problems.

                I have a GTX 570 and just updated to 285.79 with no problems in SU
                Could it be something else.

                WOW Pete a GTX 590. Id love to give that a spin on a few games.

                Exaggeration makes a dull story better.

                  It's Santa's gift to Pete πŸ˜„ oh, and it's also most needed as animation has become a pretty lucrative part of my recent commissions.

                        Battlefield 3.

                        I didn't see anything in the release notes that would compel me to upgrade. It all appears to be pointed at improvements for specific games, none of which I care about.

                          Could be a garbled driver installation by installing over new driver releases again and again.

                          A clean install may fix these issues:

                          β€’ uninstall recent driver installation by "Control Panle > Software..." preferrably with admin. rights
                          β€’ restart Windows
                          β€’ install recent driver version preferrably with admin. rights
                          β€’ restart Windows

                          Disabling the 'fast feedback' option of the SU OpenGL settings should have an impact on these type of issues too.
