Graphics Problem

[Dr.bob7]

i think my cheap old intel card is about to go to graphics card heaven, It can load everyhting fine but lately at airports the settings will auto go down to minimal (even at airports they ran before) I didnt hike up the settings when it was doing this..... its acting weird

anyone know if this is a FSX problem or do I just need a new card?

It does sound like your video card is about to bit the big one. but it could be a driver problem as well. If you recently installed a new driver try rolling back to the older version. This is cheaper than buying a new ard. 8-)

need a lot more info to be honest.  to say the card is dying from that info is jumping the gun a bit.

Im not sure what the issue is, the game will load in the high def textures and then will go black for a sec into downgraded textures (like it used to do ONLY at big airports) this problem keeps persisting even at small 1 runway airstrips...

and gary I have not updated any drivers lately
