New graphics card, less FPS?

[Ijineda]

Hi there! My problem: I just upgraded from an Sapphire Radeon 4850 to an 5850.

Result: much lower FPS. For example if I was "looking" in the blue sky only, with my old 4850 I had like 70 FPS; with the new one I get 40 FPS max.

Inside Cockpit I used to get 20-25 FPS, now I get 18 Max.

This is very dissappointing, how can I change that?

Hi Ijineda
Mabey FS9 still thinks you have the old card in your computer and it's causing a conflict.

Also, I'm sure it goes without saying, but even though your old and new cards are both ATI (or AMD now), you should still completely and correctly remove and reinstall the the CCC and drivers.

I did uninstall all the old drivers and CCC.

When I looked into my FS9.cfg, I still found the entry for the 4850. I deleted it and relaunched fs9, but the frames were as bad as ever.

Any other hints? Thank you for your help so far!

I no this will sound goofy and I don't mean anything by it ...Did you try rebooting After you installed the new drivers?

1. Delete the videodrivers and install the latest ones from the AMD website.

2. Delete fs9.cfg. When you launch the sim again it will regenerate.

In that order.

Those are the only things I can think of.
