To The Dark Side

Postby 7X7-800 » Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:45 am

After using ATI vidio cards exclusively for a number of years on my FS9, FSX rigs, I recently bought an XFX 8800 Ultra.

I used to use Ray Adams Tray Tools with my Radeon cards and was wondering if what an equivalent utility would be for Nvidia products?

Any other pointers on using Nvidia cards would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I think it's called RivaTuner.

Driver.. use 174.74 beta for FSX... get it at the nvidia site under their BETA driver listings

Nhancer: for setting up the card and overriding the nvidia driver profiles for the games and letting the card do the work:

I use ATI Tool v0.26 to overclock the 8800GTXcore and memory and only use rivatuner to control the fan speed so I dont have to listen to the card unless its under 3D load
