I haven't used FSX in 4-5 years since XP days and am now just getting back into it with Windows 7 - 64bit on a i5-3570k. As I really want to learn the roles of different settings and tweaks I am holding on an expensive Graphics card and instead running a IGB Nvidia GTX 650 which seems to give me good frame rates at stock settings. I am not running any scenery add-on's yet.

 

The standard Nvidia driver includes the control panel. I am confused about "NVidia Inspector." I understand this is an aftermarket application? If so, and I download it, does it automatically override the Nvidia Control Panel settings or is there a configuration to set so the card is driven by inspector?

 

Also one more - I understand from some research that disabling the FSX anti-aliasing option and instead enabling it through the driver/Nvidia control panel is the best way to go. Have tried both and can't really notice too much a difference.

 

Sorry for the basic questions...Thanks for any help.

Here is a starting guide for using 1/2 vsync, if you run in full screen mode, 1/2 vsync does not work in windowed mode.
