New videocard

[ORN 1]

Hi all,I just got my new rig running, and need some advice on the nVidia 7800GT card. I have the latest drivers, and with all settings maxed out in the driver and fs itself, it's running at 60 fps with Cessna in easy environment, and 30-20 with Herc/PMDG 744/PS 777 at busy larger airports in complicated weather (ASV). For me this is fantastic, very fluid. But:1. In the Create flight and pick aircraft windows I don't see a preview of the planes.2. The FsForce trim display creates a full black line at the bottom of the screen, not just a square surrounding the number.3. Looking at the landscape in perspective, the ground gets blurryer in steps, with a very visible transision, like a line instead of gradual (see attached screenshot). 4. There's a lot of settings in the driver

Hey Guys, Great info. I just purchased a new 7800GT as part of my new puter (AMD 4400 Dual core). Which driver would you suggest I go with for FS given the reported issues with the 8x.xx set? Jay EklundCAT VI Senior Captain KDENhttp://online.vatsimindicators.net/812321/764.png

Some great advise here! Especially the LOD clamp is a great tweak and has done wonders to improve my texture sharpness.Thanks a lot!Cheers,Alex YSSY

I'm using 7.7.7.7. The only issue is that 8xS AA creates problems for FSForce and the wonderful new Recorder module (Matthias, the recorder is not the problem, the nVidia driver is) and some other stuff. But with 4x AA it works just fine. Unfortunately the videocard developers don
