I give up...

...tweaking my display that is. I have come to the conclusion that I am limited by my video card and that's all there is to it. This is after my friend brought over his eVGA 8800GTX and drivers and we installed it in my Dell Q6600 over some beers last night. The performance of his $450 video card is significantly better than my 8600GTS. That's about 10fps faster than mine, instant scenery changes and no stutters whatsoever. And his card was running in some sort of protected mode because I don't have enough power connectors for his fans. Jeez that thing is huge!So since I don't have $450 to burn (Oh and I need to upgrade my 425W power supply to 475W to run it properly) I am going to have to live with 30fps, stutters and other anomalies. You will not see me posting whiney complaints anymore now that I know where the problem lies. I promise.Dell XPS 420Q66003GB SDRAM8600GTS 163.75 nHancer optimizedCHPro pedals, throttle, flightstick

While the 8800GTX is right now the king of cards, the new 8800GTS 512mb card gives about 90% of the performance of the 8800GTX at over $100 less (be careful, NOT the 640mb or 320mb version, those are older cards, the new 512mb version is the fast one), and the 8800GT gives about 85% of the performance of the 8800GTX and can be had for under $200 with rebate. For my money, there is no other choice than the $200 8800GT right now. The 8600GT is crap, it's got like 55% of the processing power of the 8800GT and like 45% that of the GTX.

Dolph:Post your FS9.CFG file and I'll see if I can make any suggestions.Thanks.Paul.

Paul,I'm running the same 8600GTS card and having the same problems. If you could look at mine as well, I'd appreciate it. How much of the .cfg would you need to see?Thanks,Dale Baker

[pgaudet 0]

Just copy and paste it whole as is and I'll take a look.Thanks.Paul.

Hi Dale,This forum won't show the square brackets unless HTML tags are used. So this:Mode=1280x1024x16AntiAlias=1MipBias=7should look something like this:[8600 GTS with some kind of nVidia driver :-) ]Mode=1280x1024x16AntiAlias=1MipBias=7A cursory look at your video cards settings in FS9.cfg shows that you have set in-game anti-alias to be enabled (this sets AA to 2X no matter what you have it set to in your video card tweaker), and the MipBias (7) seems a bit high. Also, you don't have trilinear filtering enabled.As Paul pointed out, you have too many (4) video card sections in your FS9.cfg. This happens when we install new video drivers (FS9 can't seem to delete the old video section, rather it just adds new ones). If you haven't done alot of manual tweaks to the FS9.cfg then you should delete the file, open the sim, and reconfigure everything anew. Might be a good idea to take screenshots of each of the configuration pages before deleting the .cfg just so the "reconstruction" process goes quicker.Additionally, the section noting your last driver install shows that you are running 16 bit color. Certainly you'll want to change this to 32 bit. Not knowing your system config can make it difficult to suggest "start point" settings for the video card, but you should be able to run the sim at the noted 1280 x 1024 resolution (and 32 bit) with mild levels of AA and AF. I'm an ATI guy so not entirely familiar with tweaking current nVidia drivers, but most nVidia folks use "nHancer" (Google) to do their tweaking.Gamers are as rabid about their video card tweaker as they are their favorite game. Find a tweaker that works well for you, learn it well, and then configuring your video drivers will be a piece of cake.Hope this helps,

Also be aware that the 8800's are easily overclocked with stock cooling. For example, the 8800 512 is stock at 650 core speed and o/c easily to 804. I have an 8800GTS 640 (older card) that is stock 513 core and I easily bumped it to 702 with no issues. So depending on your finances, a lower card overclocked might be an option.VicQ6600 G0 CPU 2.4 o/c 3.65Evga 680i A1 with P31 BIOS 2G XP2-8500 DDR2 1066FSB Mushkin 996535 RAM 5-5-4-12-2T320G 7200 HD partitioned for XP/Vista/Programs 2 - 74G Raptors in RAID0 500G 7200 HD for backup SATA DVD burner Evga 8800GTS 640 PCIx o/c 702 - 169.38 betaKandalf LCS case w/ built in liquid cooling 850W Thermaltake power supplyVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-supporter-sigbanner.jpg

Paul & Greg,I acutally am in the midst of 2 seperate problems with FS, low Frame rates and stutters, and some texture issues with some of my object libraries. I did a complete reinstall of FS9 over the last 2 days. I went in and made your suggested changes to my FS9 config and so far I'm running 30FPS over Seattle in VC mode. I've tried it with several planes and it is holding an all of them. I am running 1920 X 1200 resolution on my desktop as well as FS. I have Nhancer and it is set to do the AA and AA is off in FS9. What would be a good Mipmaping Value?Here is my new config:I appreciate you guys looking and making suggestions.Thanks,Dale[PANELS]IMAGE_QUALITY=1UNITS_OF_MEASURE=0QUICKTIPS=0PANEL_MASKING=1PANEL_STRETCHING=1[Weather]WindshieldPrecipitationEffects=1MinGustTime=10MaxGustTime=500MinGustRampSpeed=1MaxGustRampSpeed=200MinVarTime=5MaxVarTime=50MinVarRampSpeed=10MaxVarRampSpeed=75TurbulenceScale=1.000000DefaultVisibility=0DynWx_MedianDewPointSpread=10.000000DynWx_ProbCloudFormForMedianDewPoint=0.000500DynWx_MaxDewPointSpread=50.000000DynWx_ProbCloudFormForMaxDewPoint=0.000125DynWx_ProbCloudFormForMinDewPoint=0.100000DynWx_DryTempLapsePer1000Meters=9.000000DynWx_ProbCloudFormForDryTempLapse=0.000500DynWx_MoistTempLapsePer1000Meters=3.300000DynWx_ProbCloudFormForMoistTempLapse=0.040000DynWx_MaxProbCloudChangePerMinute=0.040000DynWx_MultiplierForDynamicWeatherLevelMild=0.500000DynWx_MultiplierForDynamicWeatherLevelNormal=1.000000DynWx_MultiplierForDynamicWeatherLevelHigh=3.000000DynWx_MultiplierForDynamicWeatherLevelExtreme=10.000000DynWx_TempChangePercentageForOvercastClouds=0.750000DynWx_TempChangePercentageForMinDewPoint=0.700000DynWx_MaxTempChangePerMinute=0.060000WeatherServerAddress=fs2k.zone.comWeatherServerPort=80WeatherGraphDataInDialog=0DynamicWeather=3LOADWEATHER=1MAX_UNLIMITED_VIS=96560CLOUD_DRAW_DISTANCE=43D_CLOUD_PERCENT=80DETAILED_CLOUDS=1CLOUD_COVERAGE_DENSITY=7CloudsImpostorRingRadius=51200.000000DownloadWindsAloft=1DisableTurbulence=0[iNTERNATIONAL]ASLAT=2ASLON=1MEASURE=0[MISC]COM_RATE=7LOG_TIME=0FOREIGN_TRANSLATOR=0LOG_FILE=[sTARTUP]DEMO=0LOADSIM=1LOADWINDOW=1SHOW_OPENING_SCREEN=1STARTUP_DEMO=[GRAPHICS]FULL_SCREEN=1PERFORMANCE_MODE=0DEF_PERF_MODE=6TEXT_SCROLL=1AUTO_LOD=0DETAIL_TEXTURE=1WATER_EFFECTS=1TERRAIN_USE_VECTOR_MAP=1TERRAIN_USE_VECTOR_OBJECTS=1EFFECTS_QUALITY=2GROUND_SHADOWS=0SMOOTH_VIEW=1IMAGE_SMOOTHING=1TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD=1AIRCRAFT_SHADOWS=1LANDING_LIGHTS=1IMAGE_QUALITY=0TEXTURE_BLDG=3TEXTURE_GND=5TEXTURE_WATER=1AIRCRAFT_TEXTURE=2SEE_SELF=1TEXTURE_QUALITY=3LOD_TARGET_FPS=21NUM_LIGHTS=6[REALISM]INDASPD=0PFactor=0.000000Torque=0.000000GyroEffect=0.000000CrashTolerance=0.000000General=0.480000UnlimitedFuel=FalseTrueAirspeed=FalseAutoCoord=FalseRealMixture=TrueStressDamage=TrueGEffect=TrueManualLights=TrueGyroDrift=FalseCrashWithDyn=TrueCrashDetection=1[CONTROLS]KBDAIL=64KBDELEV=64KBDRUD=64PAN_RATE=900[uSERINTERFACE]MAP_ORIENTATION=2PAUSE_ON_LOST_FOCUS=0PROMPT_ON_EXIT=1SelectFlightLevel=0SelectFlightTitle=0PageID=3OpenATCOnCreate=0SITUATION=C:Documents

Then I'd stick with those - they don't look too bad compared to the previous ones we (I) had you try - if they are working better for you and you are happy with them then keep these current settings.Thanks.
