An update....I rebuilt the cfg again, and then used Kostas' settings to tweak. I am shocked at what I am seeing!! The clarity is unbelievable, it is like watching a movie. There is no flashing in clouds or vertical lines (which I had before). The glass panels in the PMDG 777 are crystal clear! Thanks again everyone for your suggestions. This was money very well spent!

Fixed! When I loaded driver uninstaller, it was saying GPU detected was my old GTX 660. I did uninstall and reinstall the drivers when I switched cards, but something was out of whack. Much thanks to James79 for steering me to the driver uninstaller. I had one years ago that I used to use, but quit when nvidia offered the clean install with their driver packs. Guess it doesn't clean as well as it could.

I did let it rebuild the cfg when I replaced the card. I just rebuilt it again, and again put in the tweaks from simforum, along with the changes to nvidia inspector. I did a benchmark test with 3DMark 11, and it was good. the fans barely spun up on the card. I guess I am in for an afternoon of troubleshooting and adding tweaks one at a time. Will try reinstalling drivers. thanks again

I haven't messed with the clock speeds. I thought it could be a heat problem, but the fans are running at their minimum and set automatically with nvidia inspector. Will try a benchmark test. I am thinking it is probably a setting in cfg or something. Thanks for replies.

I play FSX. I had been running a GTX 660 for over a year without any problems. I bought a Gigabyte GTX 970. When it is working, it is working really well, am getting about 40 fps maxed out, when I would only get about 16 or so with the 660. The most it would do was drop the frames to about 10 in heavy scenery. What is happening now is that the 970 will mess up and start looking like the screen does when we win at solitaire in windows. it starts making trails and ends up freezing. Sometime the sky will also turn black, but the clouds and ground will still remain. I am hoping this is just a driver or settings issue. I have no idea how to describe this in a search. Any help appreciated. Thanks Gigabyte Z77_UD5H MB I5-3570K OC 4.3GHz 16 MB RAM Gigabyte GTX970 Gaming Card Corsair AX760i power I set up using nvidia inspector from the guide from simforums. I am disappointed in buying this. I never had these problems with my asus gtx660. I don't know what to search for in the forums as far as troubleshooting goes. Any kind of help is appreciated. Thanks

i updated to sp1b yesterday after deleting any saved flights and panel states first. all seems good now

I am also getting the same thing happening

make sure wind smoothing is not checked in FSUIPC. Also, weather tab in P3D should have active sky weather theme checked. I have it networked and works fine.
