I recently purchased a NVidia BFG 7800GS OC 256Mb AGP card, however I have been lurking for video card settings suited for FS2004 and have not found anything on the forum (unless I am not using the proper phraseology).I switched from an ATI X850XT PE was was good, I was experiencing quite a few blurries due to (what seemed to me to be) the card not rendering fast enough.I still get blurries but not as badly, so I am thinking that my video card is not set for optimum quality/performance within FS2004.My Rig comprises of:Operating System System Model Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600) Enclosure Type: Desktop Processor 3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 416 kilobyte primary memory cache1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache Board: IC7/IC7-G(Intel i875P-ICH5) 1.0/1.1Bus Clock: 200 megahertzBIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 12/28/2004 DVDRW IDE1008 [CD-ROM drive]3.5" format removeable media [Floppy drive] Hard Drives:HDS722516VLSA80 [Hard drive] (164.70 GB) -- drive 1, s/n VNRDMHC4C8MM5M, rev V34OA60A, SMART Status: HealthyST3250823AS [Hard drive] (250.06 GB) -- drive 0, s/n 5ND0F8K7, rev 3.03, SMART Status: Healthy 1024 Megabytes Installed MemorySlot 'A0' has 512 MB Slot 'A1' is EmptySlot 'A2' has 512 MBSlot 'A3' is Empty Local Drive Volumes c: (NTFS on drive 0) 250.05 GB 158.14 GB free f: (NTFS on drive 1) 26.21 GB 10.99 GB free g: (NTFS on drive 1) 41.94 GB 7.60 GB free h: (NTFS on drive 1) 41.94 GB 22.22 GB free i: (NTFS on drive 1) 20.97 GB 7.19 GB free j: (NTFS on drive 1) 6.36 GB 4.71 GB free Display: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GSMatrox TH2GoMonitors: 1 24" Dell2405FPW2 FPQ17+ BenQ Lcd monitors1 Dell 16" CRTOther Devices:PFC Jetliner Column YokePFC Rudder Pedals CH Throttle Quadrant USB GoFlight HardwareNaturalPoint trackIR 4Virus Protection avast! antivirus 4.7.942 [VPS 000721-1] Version 4.7.942 Realtime File Scanning On Any help on this matter would be greatly Appreciated

Forgot to mention.......Could someone....anyone please share their NVidia video card settings with please.RegardsKroswynd

Well I don't use FS9 anymore...but I do remember most of my settings, at least the NVIDIA control panel part. AA & AF set to 4x, Texture Filtering set to High Quality and Vertical sync OFF. All others were left at default. Hope this helps you a bit, resolution was 1280x960.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your assistanceKroswynd

Did all work out? The card is good you just gotta find the spot where it looks good while still have good FPS.

I have not been able to test the settings for a very long time. I just had a death in my family so I have been gone for about a week. I will do some testing later this week.Kroswynd

Hi Kroswynd, mes condoliances. Once you get back to testing (assuming your secondary VGA-output is used by the 4th monitor), perhaps try the following? Download MemStatus 2.50 (best via yahoo, google is useless) and only leave the MTH2G connected. Switch your GPU-driver to single display mode and measure how much RAM you're using, particularly VGA. Let MemStatus run in the background for a while (an hour or so). I could imagine it would help to connect the 4th monitor to a seperate PCI card due to lack of mem if your video card is using both ports. Just an idea... :-) Hope this adds to thoughts, kind regards Jaap Edit, it would be interesting to learn how much RAM consumption alters - if at all & vs a single display config? - whilst connected to the Matrox. FWIW, a beefed-up FS9 usually hovers around 160MB max over here
