October 26, 200322 yr I just bought a new video card (Radeon ATI 9600 Pro 256mb). I took my old one out which was a Nvidia 64 mb (its a poor card with an X at the end, cant remember exactely) and put my new one in and installed the CD. I then went to Omegacorner and downloaded a driver for the ATI. When I fly now, i see no difference whatsoever. I am getting studders that make it impossible to land, in between views it takes up to 10 seconds, no change in graphics, and lower frame rates. What should I have expected when jumping to this video card? I am running 256 RDram, but have a 512 coming next week. I have a 2.4 ghz processor. Im sure that will help. But I am not sure if my video card is doing anything. FS9 is reading that i have it installed, and so is my computer....it just doesnt seem right. any suggestions?Brad Zimmer
October 26, 200322 yr Its a neverending battle, upgrading one thing, then another thing needs to be upgraded as well hehe. I definately think that the bottleneck is the amount of RAM at this point (although before that it might have been the GFX).The problem might go away once you get the 512 RAM on top.Since you have changed to a totally different driver set and card, you might also want to try and use some sort of driver cleaner program such as Nasty File Remover (available at guru3d).Also maybe run a search through the registry and find the Nvidia names in there and remove them (backup the registry if u delete something to be sure).If that doesnt work - well maybe a total reinstall of Windows is in order - and I know that sux :(
