Video Card Settings Help

[CloudyIFR 0]

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.

 

 

Thanks

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

Thanks! I've made the changes and hopefully the WOV disk will be here today!

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.

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?

Core2duo or quadcore
