Hi PMDG pilots,

 

I'm at my wits end on this one. I've posted here in the MOBO section as well as simforums and no one has been able to figure out why I cant get my nvidia settings to take in fsx. I know this topic should be in mobo - but I was hoping maybe Ryan could shed some light on this issue. 

 

A few weeks ago - I tried installing a corsair H110 water cooler and my system wouldn't boot. I decided to bring it in to a local computer shop before I did damage to my rig. Apparently my cpu was sitting correctly, which I thought was strange because I never touched the cpu seating or latch. Just used alcohol to wipe off old thermal paste. Computer shop called and said everything was working great now. They told me they had to reset my bios, which I thought strange. 

 

Before I decided to install the cooler everything was looking GREAT. I had plugged in the suggested numbers into nvidia, and the sim looked amazing. I just knew that I'd finally get to overclocking to enjoy some more addons. So the frustrating thing is that I know my system was running great at one point. 

 

After I got it home and reading Nick N's bible I decided I was going to start from scratch and go back to Windows 7 (I was on windows 8 and hated it). I followed nicks bible to the T with all updates, windows setup etc.. However after installing nvidia inspector - fsx isn't using the settings. The PMDG flight deck looks dark and there is ZERO anti ailising. I've gone through literally every step I can think of, as well as help in other forums. All xml files are in the same folder as inspector. Everything looks like it should work, but it just doesn't. 

 

If anyone has any idea whats keeping fsx from utilizing my video card, PLEASE help. I'm up to date on all my drivers. Heres my system:

 

Intel i7 4770K - stock speed for now

z-87 Delux

8 Gigs jigsaw ram

GTX 770

1300 watts power

Corsair H110

 

If reading through my other forum posts to see what I've already tried would help, they're here:

Thanks guys. Just dying to utilize my rig to its full potential. 

 

 

 

Try deleting fsx.cfg and let it rebuild a new one could maybe help.

Just a long shot, but are you also are you saving the changes you have made in nvidia indpector correctly? When I have made changes to graphic card changes then nvidia inspector I've had to reboot my system for changes to take place. If you can try running nvidia indpector as Administrator when you open it.

 

Hope you get it sorted.

Hi man,

 

We will get you sorted out, don't worry!

 

Firstly, could you screen capture your nvidia inspector settings within the FSX profile? Just to check properly

but are you also are you saving the changes you have made in nvidia indpector correctly?

Looking at the "history" of your PC I would suspect that something may have happened when they reset the BIOS. So I would restart from there and have a close look at the various BIOS settings. Is there a chance the CPU integrated video processor is overriding the graphic cards ?

 

Good luck !

My bet would be:

-Not running the inspector as an admin.

-Not running FSX as an admin.

-Running DX10 (there's some issue with DX10 and AA - there's a way around it, but it's not obvious).
