July 24, 201213 yr Just a heads up with MSI Afterburner. After hours of trying to find out why my new FSX install went graphically wonky, I believe MSI afterburner loads in a version of DX -? that conflicts or causes FSX graphics to get visually encumbered. I hope I am wrong. Any replies welcomed. BTW, Win 7, GTX 580, i7 2600. P8 x77 WS MB.
July 24, 201213 yr Author What is ENB series? The computer was just built, fresh install of win 7, FSX. My vid card is a MSI 580 3gb card. Was a 6 hour marathon trying to figure out why the graphics went weird. I thought it was a bum card. Rolling back the computer prior to the install of afterburner solved it. Re installed AB, problems started again.
July 24, 201213 yr ENB is a mod to give you HDR in a game that doesn't have HDR, works in the directx mode. But it crashes if afterburner is running, or any other monitoring tools that work the same way. I'd be interested to know if there was a problem, I run afterburner on startup and it runs all the time. No problems so far, but maybe I would get more FPS if I turn it off?
July 24, 201213 yr Author I run Afterburner on my Win XP computer no problems at all, but the win 7 64 bit computer has graphical problems using it with fsx. Going to try to find out what is what as I like Afterburner a lot. Thinking it is a DX install type thing that may be the problem.
July 24, 201213 yr Moderator Run it on two different W7 systems - one with a GTX480 and another with a GTX 560TI - no problems at all. RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
July 25, 201213 yr Author I Re-installed it and works very good. Must be something else, Sorry to give the MSI Afterburner a bad rap with my topic. Me and computers = dysfunctional! To the moderators, please delete this thread as I do not think my complaining about a good working MSI Afterburner software, saying it is causing problems when it is not. That is misleading. My apologies to all. I will be more care full when posting in the future.
July 25, 201213 yr Author Figured it out with Word Not Allowed's guide. The artifacts were due to my water settings not the MSI Afterburner program. The cure: QUOTE "Water Effects must be High 2.x or higher, otherwise you will get flashes. Often seen in combination with other tweaks, especially with RejectThreshold: In the Bufferpools section, if BP=0 is used, nothing else is required or should be in there. If you get flashing and artifacts with BP=0 tweak, it would be a good idea to check what the GPU is doing - running a GPU at 100% is a source of artifacts, flashes, driver crashes and BSODs." End Quote. I tested this and it works!!!!!!! Thanks Word Not Allowed!!!!!!
