FSX isn't seeing my graphics card

Featured Replies

Evening guys. Today i installed a Geforce 8400GS to add more monitors to my setup. I used the guru3d driver sweeper before hand, installed the card and installed the drivers afterwards (260.99). Now FSX isnt' seeing my GTX 470 (my main card). Thanks for any help

I think it may be best to remove all Nvidia software from your machine at this point and start over.

removing all nvidia software and then reinstalling (after several restarts) and selecting the 'clean install' option under the custom install option has fixed it. Thanks for the help Techguy! :biggrin:
