Can anyone tell me how to get the best performance out of my Graphics Card and Intel Duo 8400 Processor. I have 2 gigs of DDR2. I need to know which individual settings need to be set to what levels. I would really appreciate any input you can provide.Thanks,Alex

Alex,when I got my 8800 GT I followed the advices you find in this thread: http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=265795&page=So get Nhancer and use the information in the thread to set it up. The 8800 GT really is an amazing card considering it's price. I had an ATI X850XT before which really is no slouch, but the visual appearance improved tremendously with the Nvidia card!

use 8XS AA under combined, gamma correction checked, AF 16X. You don't need to check super-transparency AA because that already happens as part of the 8XS mode.

Thanks guys,How many frames are you getting with these kind of settings?How much memory do you have?Processor?Thanks a lot, just trying to get the most out of my game. :-)Alex

Alex,I have an Core2Duo E6600 with 2 GB of RAM and using Windows XP. However, I don't think it's useful to tell you my fps since we probably have very different settings that affects the performance of the sim. For instance, I run with 100% ai and have LOADS of it and I also use very high settings for the clouds and have weather created by Activesky. Suffice to say, I gained probably some 5-10 fps compared to my previous ATI X850XT card, but the visual quality is definitely way higher.

Alex,With the 744 in FS9 I see 50-100FPS most of the time at 1920X1200, FSX is more like 20-40.

Thanks for the replies:I have almost finished tweaking but I still have lines in my sky of different shades of blue. What do I need to adjust to get rid of this last issue?Alex P.
