Far too little information.  cfg file is a good place to start. Also, you can find many other posts here on the same issue.

I'd suggest using nvidia inspector to set your visuals (in DX9 mode) and return to an untweaked fsx.cfg file..

And.. with all respect - that is a midrange PC, not "high-end" so keep that in mind as you select your settings..

@GavinK: Sorry to inform you, but you don´t have a high end PC.

 

If you have the time and energy, read, learn and do what this remarkable guide tells you:

Well it might not be high end but I thought it could easily run a game from 2006

[VeryBumpy 272]

3.4 ghz <---- worst part. 4.5GHz+ is high end; but even with that, addons will still easily bog down FSX.

 

Read up on fsx.cfg settings and turn down the sliders should hopefully get you to a happy medium.

If you don't already have one, why don't you invest in aftermarket cooling and OC your CPU? Apart from the fact that my GPU is better than the 660ti, you have a similar system to mine and I get pretty decent performance and display out of my rig OC'd to 4.3g.

 

I also noticed in your config that you have WideViewAspect=False. What kind of monitor are you running?

Will Overclocking solve this?

Yeah, my gpu is probably outdated, what should I upgrade it to?

And I fixed that problem, don't know why it was set to that.

 

Thanks

[wanabflyer 53]

No overclocking will not "directly solve blurry textures, but if you want to set up your GPU on Nvidia Inspector with a profile that is going to give you respectable graphics display on FSX, you are going to need to overclock that CPU to give you the FPS performance as well. Let's face it, that is what your "k" type CPU was made for.

 

As for the GPU, I would recommend the GTX 770 at a minimum of 2g. If you can afford the 4g card, I can highly recommend it as it gives you a lot of breathing space when it comes to AA settings, especially when you get into a lot of quality a/c and scenery add ons. It will also help you go to the BP= 0 tweak that helps FPS but relies more on GPU resources.

 

There are many threads on AVSIM that will help you with Nvidia Inspector setups for FSX.
