So far not impressed, using the latest drives and also tried the drivers with the cd, Im using W7 64 and have applied the ******* B=0 tweak but even without it I keep getting corrupted graphics and this crash nvd3dum.dll which I know is related to nvidia. I have reinstalled my drivers so many times in the last few hours and have even done a clean install of W7, I have disabled Data Execution Program. Clean installed FSX. I am at my wits end. Does anyone have a solution. Pleeasse.

did u try a clean cfg? To be hoesnt I went from a GTX 260 to the 480 and I didn't see a big difference in FPS in FSX, in COD and BFBC2 i did though. Run your fsx.cfg through this tool by the wayhttp://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html

Yes, remove the "******* B=0" tweak. It leads to very unstable things happening to your video card.

Start here for guidance and support. For custom advice from a knowledgable crew, visit the Simforums hardware forum. Hope this helps.

Does your card work well with other graphics-intensive games? Try testing with 3dMark and other benchmarking software to see if your ard is reliable. The one time I had strange issues with a new graphics card, I found out it was defective after much testing. Good luck!

What do I change the ******* B=0 back to in my CFG? I am also using the shader 3.0 mod and FS-Labs texture fix and the automatic cfg configured from http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html

What card did you move to the 480 from? When I went from a 260 to the 570 late last year I had a lot of problems until I fully reformatted. I can't explain it but something just did not work right with the card both stability and performance wise until I started over with a clean Windows 7 install that had never seen anything except that card. It's been completely perfect since.Also, if you end up having to send the card back as defective or something, consider a 570 instead - it's faster than the 480 but runs much cooler/quieter and generates less heat and power draw.

I came from two Radeon 5850's
