BEST GRAPHICS CARD YET NO ANTIALIASING!!!

Postby Brett Hill 2 » Sat May 17, 2008 7:09 pm

ever since I have had fsx I have been starting a flight with grea performance and no problems except when I get into about a min after spawning, and thats when all my antialiasing just simply dissapears leaving me with a botchy and pixelated screen. this has been happening to me for ages but i have finnally wanted to do something about it.
i find it weird as I have a laptop which seems to keep its antialiasing even thou it has a

single core amd.
2gb ram,
go6950m nvidia gpu,
windows vista 32bit Home prenium

AND ITS A LAPTOP FOR HEAVENS SAKE. yet my powerfull Desktop pc with a

quad core q6600 ,
ASUS 8800gtx gpu,
3gb ram ,
650w psu,
windows home prenium 32bit also.

yet that has problems. I am really confused as to what it causeing my antialiasing to dissapear during flight and i have managed to exclude the antialiasing tick box in fsx and the nvidia control panel as I have messed around with those too.

There must be a fix out there. help!

Thanks

download a tool called nHancer. It should bypass the default Nvidia AA.

Forgot where the thread was that has specific instructions on how to do it though. :-/

My comp is nowhere near what yours is.... but I got the nHancer and it really did help. So if it will help on an old single core, 1 gig memory system, it should definitely help on yours!

I find it unlikely installing Nhancer is going to cure AA woes - $100 it's your video drivers, basically the thing that allows MSFS to communicate to your videocard. I've tried a great deal of Nvidia drivers, some worked, some didn't. I'm currently on 174.74 with no such problems.

1. To install new drivers, first download them.

174.74 - http://downloads.guru3d.com/ForceWare-1 ... a-(32-bit-)-download-1887.html

or

175.16 - http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x ... _whql.html

Download 175.16 first, and follow the rest of the steps. I personally haven't tried them as I'm on dialup speeds at the moment (blew 25gb in less than a month), if 175.16 doesn't work then you can download 174.74 which I assure you does work.

2. Go into control panel\ add & remove programs - and uninstall Nvidia display drivers. Restart.

3. Download this:
http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=driversweeper
Clean your computer of Nvidia DISPLAY drivers. Restart.

4. Install new drivers.

5. Once FULLY installed, delete a folder called 'Nvidia' on your C:\ drive, it's just used by the installer and is a waste of space.

6. Go into Nvidia control panel and give fsx some anti-aliasing. If MSFS has Anti-aliasing then you can improve image quality even more by doing the Nhancer tweaks that other members have recommended to you. If AA still doesn't work try 174.74.
