Graphics Card Settings Help

Post by Greg Reince »

Gentlemen:

I just purchased a new computer and would appreciate any recommendations to adjust the video card or FS setting to get the most out of this brand new machine. I am currently still running FS9, but I plan to get FSX soon. I just have so many add-ons for FS9 that I don't want to lose when switching to FSX that I want to make sure I can run FS9 first.

Processor: Intel 3.33Ghz
RAM: 8GB
NVIDIA GTX 560 2048MB GDDR5

What recommendations do you have for the Global Settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel?
What settings to use in "Hardware" internally of FS9?
Display resolution internally of FS9?
Anti-aliasing and filtering internally of FS9?

I know I have been a stranger on the forums for awhile, but I am hoping to be able to spend a bit more time flying in the coming months!

Greg - recommend you google nVidia Inspector and install that. It helps you make settings that you can't do w the normal nvidia software. You'll find a number of guides on how to set that up, too. This is the guide I used to set mine up - http://forum.avsim.net/topic/324786-nvi ... _inspector
