First thing I would try would be get rid of the Omega Drivers for the ATI Catlyst and see what happens.

Thanks>>BradEven with the Omega's the 9800 Should bedestroying the 4600. Not so much with AA and AF off but turn them on and the comparison becomes silly.Did you use a Det. Destroyer to rid your system of all traces of the NVidia Drivers?. Are you running the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard. Have you defragged lately?.This is a start. Let us know what happens.Bobby

Ok, first things first, make sure you have a clean install.I would re-install windows and load everything from scratch, but if you don't wnat to go all that trouble, then download a driver remover, and make sure everything is removed, and that the registry is cleaned out of all Nvidia entrys.Then dl he latest omega drivers.Make sure you have dx9.a installed.lemme ask a couple of quesions1) what settings are you running Fs2002 at?2) What are the rest of your system specs?3) what windows are you runing, and what updates do you have?regards,Bob.

Brad; have you maxed out the AA & AF in the card menu yet and upped the resolution to 2048x ?. With 256mb of memory, you're no longer limited to 1600x1200 res.

Hi, Brad. "Blurry Textures" should not be a problem with this card, it's something to do with your settings.Let's try a couple of things.You should have ATI Control Panel installed, try this:Right click on blank spot on Desk top> Proerties> Settings> Advanced> Direct 3D and you can do the same for OpnGL> Main settings> Custom> AA 4X> AF 16X, you can go to 8X later if your FPS is too low. We are just trying to get over the
