Pathetic Frames on FX5200

[Iroquois]

Since I installed my new Geforce FX5200, CFS3's frame rates have been just pathetic. I was getting 18-20fps at 1024X786X16 res on my Geforce 2 MX400. I had the settings at 4 aircraft, 4 terrain, 4 scenery, 2 effects, and 2 clouds.  I didn't change the settings but now I'm only getting 5-10fps with a faster card and more video ram (DDR on new SDRAM on old). I adjusted the drivers with Riva and and have FS2002 running smoothly. I'm running the same drivers as before, vers 44.03. I tried using some of Ramsa's tweaks (above) and tried lowering the res to 800X600X16, nothing. Any ideas on whats going on and how to fix it.

All I can think of is your actual card settings.

Right click on your desktop, properties, settings, advanced, video card tab, additional properties.  Have a look at them.  I find that turning on anti-aliasing and anisoptropic filtering at card level increases the rame rates.

Going to try thoes things. I did manage to get about 15fps but now it shutters, which it never used to do.

Yes, fixed. I installed the version 44.67 drivers and am now getting 18-20fps. I haven't really run many tests yet. I just hope these drivers don't corrupt FS2002.
