FSX.CFG Displaying wron Video Card

Featured Replies

I was looking at my FSX.CFG file and saw this interesting detail.

 

I installed a new EVGA Nvidia 970 GTX GPU in my PC yesterday.

 

Why isn't the cfg recognizing it? How do I change this and will it causing any issues?

Delete the fsx.cfg and let fsx build a new one.  It will then correctly display your new card.

Hello Flynman.  Did you Uninstall your old Nvidia Drivers and install a Driver (clean install)  that's compatible with your new Graphics card

Go to the General tab of your FSX settings and select your video card.
