oldsheppy Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi, I have just upgraded my Sapphire r7-260x video card to MSi gaming gtx970. I have installed latest gpu driver but Orbx scenery takes a long time to regenerate when changing views, are there any settings that I should change as this card certainly isn't showing any improvement.I am using a 3 monitor set up. Any suggestions would be appreciated, should I now use Nvidia inspector profile for fsx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Can't answer the rest but must say I found nVidia Inspector indispensible when using FSX. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 FSX is more CPU dependent that GPU dependent. The 970 is a better card, but I would not expect a giant leap in performance, especially as far as textures loading faster when changing views.

cpalmberg Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 You could try rebuilding the shader cache. If you don't what it is just google "fsx shader cache ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelab6 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What is your CPU and frequency ? Do you use HDD or SSD ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsheppy Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 cpu is i7-4790k (4.00ghz) i.e unclocked. Fsx is installed on 128GB ssd, the only change that I have made is going to GTX970 as my previous videocard was hitting 100% from time to time.

Triplane Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I have the same CPU and GPU. Don't do anything with nVidia Inspector until you get the problem sorted out. Messing with the drivers at this point will probably just make things worse. Are you absolutely, positively certain that the old AMD drivers are completely gone? I'd start by cleaning the remaining AMD stuff, if any, and reinstalling the NVidia drivers from the CD that came with the GPU. See this link as a possible way to be sure all the AMD stuff is really deleted: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Clean-Uninstall-Utility.aspx .

Assuming you're using FSX, find your \Shaders folder, which should be located in something like "C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX\Shaders". You want to delete this folder but make a backup of it first just in case. Next time you start FSX the \Shaders folder should be rebuilt automatically. The \AppData folder is hidden so you might have to allow hidden files to be viewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsheppy Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks for your advice, I think my Catalyst Control software was the culprit but I rebuilt shader_cache aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
