(275.XX)They will give you the option of a clean install - which is what you want.No need to uninstall first.Then use nvidia inspector to set AA, AF etc.. Bert

June 22, 201114 yr And done. Thank you.Now I have to learn about The Inspector. <_<Lots of info on that in this forum..I'd be interested to hear how you like the new card, compared to your old one.. Bert
June 23, 201114 yr Author Lots of info on that in this forum..I'd be interested to hear how you like the new card, compared to your old one.. So far there's nothing not to like. To be honest, I've only spent about fifteen-minutes with it in FSX. By the time I loaded up FSX and got my ORBX scenery in, I had to shut off the machine because She was going to bed. (My rig is in the bedroom, how stupid is that?)Anyway, during those fifteen-minutes of flying, Friday Harbour looked rich and delicious at 50+FPS with the sliders maxed. Nice colours, a darker more realistic pallete. It looked... rich. And fast!I have about 45 minutes before I leave for work and I'm going to fry up the Nvidia Inspector and see what things look like. I'll let you know. ___________________________I'm just flying for the fun of it.
