I am replacing my old GT9500 with a GTX550 TI I picked up .  I did a clean install of driver 314.07.  My system works fine, until I start FSX!  I immediately get an error box stating the GTX550 TI does not meet mnimum requirements for shader support.  I have looked into everthing I could think of, just short of reinstalling FSX.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks, Guys!

I have the EVGA 550TI and have had excellent results with it in FSX and Lockon as to the problem your experiencing I would remove the driver and run a driver sweeper or registry repair tool then download a fresh up to date driver from the manufacturer or GeForce. Here's a link to a driver sweeper  http://www.guru3d.com/content_page/guru3d_driver_sweeper.html  Hope this helps . Best of Luck . Vecter

I immediately get an error box stating the GTX550 TI does not meet mnimum requirements for shader support.

Is it possible you have the ENB series addin or something else demanding different shader support?

I guess that you have removed all remnants of the old card from fsx.cfg? Better still build a new cfg file as well as the above. Have you run DXDIAG to make sure there are no errors?

May be worth runnuinf sfc /scannow at a command prompt.

Fresh reinstall of the driver.

Thank you all so much!  I looked into each of your suggestions and each of them worked!  I now have a wonderful FSX system that works great!
