I am really toying with the idea now of changing my ATI card to Nvidia, I do think thre is a big difference in cloud performance and shader etc

 

Which one you think i have been looking at the 460GTX 470GTX & 480GTX Would a 2GB one make a difference in FSX., Could someone please clear this up for me.

I have the 560TI 2GB and I have no issues at all. Super dense insane clouds are the same smoothness flying through them as sitting powered down at the gate. I was an ATI user from day one until just recently, and I can honestly say that I will not own another one. Not that they are bad, but Nvidia just does it for me now, I like the support and easy better than ATI.

Thanks buddy

The 580GTX is currently the card of choice as it has the most stable drivers..

 

There's a nice Nvidia Configuration guide over in the PMDG General Forum here on avsim

 

Cheers

Stevo,

 

I have the Nvidia GTX570 and have the latest drivers (306.23) running the Nvidia Inspector utility. I'm also using the OPUS generated weather. No issues for me so far. A video card with 2GB is great, but any good card with 1GB or more would work well with FSX. Remember as opposed to all other games...FSX is more CPU than GPU dependent.

 

You've seen my screenshots, so you know what it looks like on my system. My setup flies smooth and stutter free.

Thanks Steve, Yeah i think i'm going to go for the GTX 570

I have looked at the gtx580 but im still unsure. I want to get better performance on the clouds with the ngx of course

 

thats all i fly

Right ladz after taking your advise and info i have ordered myself a new GTX570 SuperClocked

 

Which drivers are great with FSX i have read allsorts i would be tempted to use the latest but i could be wrong. Thank Steve

Hi,

 

I'm thinking for an nvidia opt after reading this I currently have a hd6870 and don't get me wrong it runs great on everything even fsx, but if nvidia proves to be more stable on drivers and support and gives that boost in fsx it sounds all good , but now the hd6870 is doing exactly what I want.

I used to be a hardcore ATI guy, and really got fed up with the support and DOA with their units. I was just one of the very very unlucky ones. Finally built another rig, and changed over to NVidia and never looked back.

what are your full specs mate?i have the gtx560ti to but have some problems.

I actually will not buy any computer with ATI graphics. I used to be a firm believer in ATI but had so many driver issues with them and bought a Nvidia card to replace an old ATI card and have never had any troubles with it at all. Nvidia makes a great card. You just can not go wrong with a NVIDIA card.

Had no end of problems running fsx and PMDG with Nvidia cards, changed to radeon (low end) no crashes and better graphics
