CloudyIFR Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 My first post here at Combat Ace, or at least it's been a long time since. I have WOV and soon YAP2 and I just purchased a new video card and I'd be very interested in some help with the video card settings. I'm running WinXP SP3 with a Pentium4 3.0 Gig processor and 2Gig of RAM. Here's my video card settings, I have an NVidia Geforce 7600 GS 256Meg video card. Any suggestions on what each item should be set to? Anisotropic Filtering App. Controlled Anitaliasing -Gamma Correction OFF Antialiasing - Setting App Controlled Antialiasing - Transparency OFF Conformant texture clamp Use Hardware Extenison Limit OFF Max Pre-rendered Frames 3 Multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration Multiple display performance mode Texture filtering - Anisotropic mip filter OFF Texure filtering - Anisotropic sample ON Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias ALLOW Textue filtering - Qualit QUALITY Texture filtering - Trilinear Optimization ON Triple buffering OFF Vertical Sync USE 3d App Setting.

+sony tuckson Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Vertical synchronation should be set to always OFF I'd try antialiasing to 2X Mulit display....to single display since you seem to have a single screen hoping this help this video card isn't the best for simming but it should work, even with latest patches Quote
CloudyIFR Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 Thanks! I've made the changes and hopefully the WOV disk will be here today! Curtis www.TailwindGliders.com Quote
+Typhoid Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 almost my identical hardware setup and I have the exact same card. Those settings, as modded by Sonny, should work just fine. YOu will need to turn down some items - I've found that low on effects and water are essential and you will probably want to turn off shadows and reflection. You will probably have to turn down some other items and experiment to find the right combination for your preferences. The really high definition models will seriously slow down performance so objects may need to be turned down to medium or even low. I've just upgraded to Windows 7 which I will NOT recommend with that system level for flight simming. That will take a whole other level of turning things down to get the game to run at all, and then only with some further downgrades in option selections. Quote
+sony tuckson Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I'd only recommend Windows 7 with a C2D generation cpu, and at Gf8xxx as minimum video card...and nothing less than 2 GB of RAM Quote
+Typhoid Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I'd only recommend Windows 7 with a C2D generation cpu, and at Gf8xxx as minimum video card...and nothing less than 2 GB of RAM I will, sadly, concur. This rig actually performs pretty well with everything set to low. But then, everything is set to low on my aquisition list for the spring time..... Everything else works just fine with this rig, office applications and such so this was a good upgrade for me. But so far as hobby-time for when the work is done, not so much. What do you mean by a "C2D" generation cpu? Quote
