hi there,i just got fs9,and i was wondering what the best drivers might be for my geforce4 ti 4200 128mb..this videocard is mounted in an AMD 1800 xp,soltek mobo,256mb ram,win98 os.so far i've tried the 29.42 and 45.23 from nvidia's website,but it just does not feel right...every slider is at min,and it still stutters.so,advice on the drivers you guys have the "best" performance with,or feel the best about,is very much appreciated.and:i just love that dc3....ms finally made some really great planes imho ;-)

It doesn't seem good. Have you tried tweaking or over clocking your video card?:-jumpyhttp://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg------------------Kenneth WeikTWVA395 / [email protected]

>It doesn't seem good. Have you tried tweaking or over>clocking your video card?>:-jumpyumm...yup....been tweakin all day ;-)

I would recommend getting another 256 or ram. I have the same video card and am using the 45.23 drivers with an AMD 2000. Most of the time I am at 20+, and at very large metro airports fall to 10-12. But I also have every gate filled with AArdvark AI too. It fell to 6-8 with same amount of PAI planes...so I have improved it some! :)

try the 30.82 and 40.52 drivers either from nvidia or guru3d.comAndre

Hi,I have the Ti4600 and use the 30.82 drivers. Working fine for me.Search the forum for some tweaks, like :(Display.cfg)PanelAsTexture=0Disable=1AntiAlias=0(FS9.cfg)RenderToTexture=0TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.500000TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=4.500000Also download RivaTuner of simular application for tweaking the drivers, such as negative LOD setting and other settings.

hey guys,thanks a lot for your suggestions,i'll try and see what works ;-)it's really appreciated.have fun,

i have been running the 44.67 drivers ever since they became availablehave not had ANY of the problems mentioned in this forumhave done nothing to the cfg fileno tweeks/etcperfect performancedonp4 3.061 gig ramti 4600xp home
