Best Settings For ATI Radeon X850XT For FS9?

Featured Replies

Greetings,I was wondering if anyone out there still using this graphics card, would be so kind to share their most reliable settings for FS9.It would be much appreciated if you could also include the driver version that you are also currently using.The reason I am asking is because my current display quality in FS9 seems to be way off to what I have been used to in the past.Thankyou.Regards,Ralf..

>Hi Ralf, what was the past? Can't you roll back? >>Cheers and kind regards >>Jaap Hi Jaap (thanks for your reply).What I mean by "the past" is that my graphics never used to "shimmer" and the aircraft I now fly seem to have "jagged edges" that are visible from certain angles.I usually update my driver when a new one is released (I know this is probably not the wise thing to do).Regards,Ralf..

Hi Ralph,Can't you go back and download the last Catalyst that worked fine for you? And are you currently running any GPU graphics-tweak program?

Hi Davis,The only "tweak" program I am running is called "ATI Tool"Regards,Ralf..

Hi Ralph,Oh ok, well have a look at RivaTuner.. have a search and see if its compatible with your catalyst version. Maybe that one can help a bit more with display issues. But, as before, can't you go back to your last working fine catalyst?

Greetings Davis,All sorted out now.I removed my old driver and installed "Driver Cleaner" and deleted my FS9.cfg file.I then installed an old driver (version 5.9 from October 2006) and my display has returned to being awesome.Must of have been to many old driver files lying around ?Thanks for your help.Regards,Ralf..
