My previous video card was a GeForce 7200 GS 128MB with turbo-cache. I have just upgraded to a XFX GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB. The problem is that I do not really notice a difference in performance. With a screen res of 1600 x 1200 x 32, antialaising on & controlled by FS and with downloaded weather, I was down to 8-9 frames in heavy clouds. With the new card, frame rate is unchanged.Is there something I perhaps need to do ? eg. uninstall and re-install FS9.Do you get dud new cards - doubt it or ?My computer specs are:Pentium Intel Core 2 duo 1.86GHz2 GB system RAM @ 667Ge Force 8600GT 512MBAny help will be welcomeThanksTrevor

1. Did you delete the old vid card entry from youy fs9 cfg? or delete the cfg and make fs9 build a new one?2. Let your card apply AA Not within FS do a search for nhancerLastly it's raw cpu power that fs wants, also check the hardware forum for the best drivers.. I use ATI so cant help you there.Rob
