Hi guys yesterday i went out and got myself a GTX660Ti 2GB card to get my FSX to run better. From that time i had big problems with my FSX as you can see in the video link.

So when i have done was 100% clean install win7 64, Clean install FSX SP2, Clean install video drivers 304. And to my shock i have the same problem right away. The problem only started with the new card and drivers. Old card was a GTX285. FSX is 100% stock as im not going to install my addon's and still have the same problems. I was going to get a bigger PSU but the shop i got my card from told me the GTX285 used more power than the GTX660Ti. So im looking for some help as to why its like it now please.

You never really mentioned what the problem was, although from the video I can plainly see you haven't set up your videocard for FSX.

Yep all the views are wrong all missed placed and that dont have a thing to do with if the video card was setup of not. Its showing up like the CFG has had all the camera views changed. This is with every plane. The wheels are also sitting inside the runway so it looks like all the contact points are wrong. So i have just removed FSX and ill just take the new card out and go back to the old one as the problems only started with the new card.

It's certainly not the card thats led to contact problems within the sim. Don't be so quick to completely remove and re-install your sim, when you do you reset every single parameter you had previously tweaked, if you had tweaked any in the first place. Go slow! The card is a beautiful one, and wouldn't cause problems such as those demonstrated above. Take some time to read Word Not Allowed's guide and try as best you can to understand it. Then post if you have questions you are not sure about. Good luck, don't blitz that card. I have the exact same card for my sim and its beautiful

The card is a beautiful one, and wouldn't cause problems such as those demonstrated above.

Yep it was not the card it was GIGABYTE OC_GURU or OC Guru II programe that came with the card.

I removed the 660Ti and all the soft it came with and installed the 285 and had no problems.

Installed the 660Ti only and it worked fine in my test then installed GIGABYTE OC_GURU problem came back right away.

I did find even with it installed as long as it was running it would give me the same problems.

Shut down GIGABYTE OC_GURU and no problems so i just removed it for good.

I had seen the 660Ti run on my system with Orbx and all sliders 100% maxed out and it was smoking hot.

So its time to install everything now i have worked out what was doing it.

 

Thanks for the tip John

I have the same problem on the same card... Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Ti... :blink:
