...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.

Got a 310.xx driver and my game lock up at random. Looks like that got some work to do.

I'm using these drivers on both my ASUS laptop and Desktop (with everything in STO pretty much maxed with the exception of anisotropic filtering and AA (at 8X); and I have not experienced the issues you describe on either computer. (Nvidia 460M on the laptop and a GTX265 on the desktop <--- upgrading this particular PC later this year, but IMO it still runs STO fine at max settings.)

Don't know what to tell you.

I just downloaded the very latest nvidia drivers.. I have seen this head issue a couple times... also, am I imagining things or with these drivers, are there more hitches and stutters? This seems rampant on ESD, but that could just be the game....

We generally have a tendancy to think that the latest drivers will work better, often there is no difference and quite often there will be an issue with some software you run. I never update any drivers for anything unless I have a problem running that software or device.

If it works, leave it!

its not only a Win XP Prob and it don't affects all Nvidia Cards.
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.
