...unless you want every NPC, or PC, that you see to have their head flicker and disappear.
I noticed this in 310.70, both beta and WHQL, plus the new 310.90 WHQL that was released tonight. Walk around ESD (Particularly the tailor/consumable area), and watch everyone's head flicker.
That if the NPC you talk to when you dock doesn't have his head disappear first.
I'm using a GTX570, btw.

Don't know what to tell you.
PWE ARC Drone says: "Your STO forum community as you have known it is ended...Display names are irrelevant...Any further sense of community is irrelevant...Resistance is futile...You will be assimilated..."
Must be an Windows XP issue then?
Character Models and Gen ingame Texture issues..after playin another game?

Its also not an STO only prob.
I couldn't use anything with the 310.xx drivers (Win 7), 304 works great for me.
this!
I have same graphics chipset as OP and are running Windows 7 64-bit with latest drivers always, no problem here.
Worth mentioning perhaps is that I use to make a clean install of the Nvidia drivers, you can select that option on install.
Maybe the MB Chipsets/Ram and/or other devices interfere with the drivers too.
there is nothing Cryptic can do.
Is there any official place we can get slightly older drivers from? I don't want to go back as far as 306.97 as I think they are what caused my previous bluescreen problem.
Cheers all!
PS. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with a 1Gb GTX 460.

I can easily reproduce the flickering head problem you mention IF I use Direct X11.
Changing the video card options (in-game) to use Direct X9 and restarting the game, fixes the problem. I've been trying every release from Nvidia to see if it fixes the flickering problem while in DX11 and have had no joy. I am forced to switch back to DX9 every time.
I wish they would address the Direct X11 issue though.
at the moment ive turned all sto settings to low or off (makes it alittle bit better) because the game is unplayable espcialy when u use mouse to look around the game stutters and laggs like crazy.
have tryed dx9 and 11x
im only having probelms with STO all other games work fine. crysis 2 metro skyrim etc.. all work fine with setting set to bloody hell.
At least we can roll back to older drivers since we have regular driver support unlike those idiots that use the onboard Intel cards who screamed and complained at Cryptic when their game stopped working and all they had was a two year old driver to mess with.

Thats your CPU i hate to be the guy with bad news but STO isn't graphics heavy its CPU heavy and your CPU in no way can drive an SLI GTX580 setup combined with the CPU bound problem already and your actully hurting your preformance in SLI. Either upgrade your CPU to intel Core I5 or diable SLI for STO. The other games are GPU bound and you wont notice your CPU bottleneck becuase they do a lot less CPU work. I'm sorry but Phenom II competes with Core2 in IPC and you will get the same problems with a Core2
Unfortunately the 9400GT is a completely obsolete card at this point - it was an entry level card in it's time, and although the 8xxx/9xxx nVidia cards have aged well, after 7ish years they no longer hold up to modern titles. If your the rest of your system is about that vintage, your best upgrade path for the lowest cost to see distinct improvement would be one of the AMD A series APU - in the sub $200 range you can get a motherboard/CPU combo that integrates a graphics solution well above the 9400. If you are not running DDR3 in your current rig, you may need to shell out a bit for some new RAM as well.
If the GPU is the oldest part of your system, i.e. it's an old card you stuck in a new system, shop around for refurbished GPUs - eBay, Microcenter, and Amazon are good places to try - for instance, I just purchased 2 refurb nVidia GTX 460s for an SLI setup for $35 each at my local Microcenter. Shop around and see what you can find!
Cheers!
