Vonduck Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Well, i am stumped! Installed the new GTX280 card no worries (had to buy a new 850w PSU!!), re set up the settings and fired up FSX ... all seemed pretty normal until i got the 2d panel or forward view ... then this strange 'beep' beep' 'barp' kind of fuzzy noise like the sound card when you touch a connector to the back if you know what i mean ... noise occurs along with the picture become jerky ...! Most odd! Something has occurred either with my fiddling the settings or the install of the card and PSU.... I have copied my CFG below (minus the trusted gauges) to see if there is anything afoot there i have missed ... Man this is frustrating!!! Thanks for any help guys!

tennyson Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Doug, Are you sure you got both of those molex adapters in right. From memory one is 8 pin and the other is six. I can remember that I forgot to plug a six pin in and I had a noise like that. Hope you get it sorted, mate. My 295GTX is chuggin away now, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonduck Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks Frank .. Ill take a look today ... the guy at the PC shop who installed my new PSU put the card in so he may have not done this properly ... he did though install it all for nothing while i waited so it was a bonus for me! Frank, did you see the Airbus module i was after? :'( Will report back with any news ... cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cirrusnature Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Try deleting the Bufferpool tweak. On my system this was the culpirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonduck Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Do you mean delete the tweak completely or just lower the tweak? I have 400000000 but have lowered it to 300000000 to see if this will make the difference ... Thansk fort he tip though - will get back with results!

Guest cirrusnature Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I had to delete the entire tweak for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I would say if the card can not be loaded 100% without making noise (f.e. through Bufferpools) it's a faulty card and must be replaced right away ! Don't let the sales guys telling you a fairy tale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonduck Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Mango -the card itself doesn't make any noise, in fact it seems to work no problem using DX10 mode I am in the process of reading the link posted to see if an increase to 512 will dot he trick ... I have reduced it form 400 to 300 to 200 so will increase to see if that is the problem! Ill let you know how i get on otherwise i will indeed be calling the chap back!

Heiko Glatthorn Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Sorry, i should have read your post better. The noise has sure nothing to do with Bufferpools i bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonduck Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 OK ... heres the results of the testing which has driven me mad ... Reducing the BP setting gives me stutters but seems to reduce the stop start noise i am getting ... increasing the BP setting to 200 + creates the problem but is somewhat smoother ... I ahve no idea what is causing this but i was hoping for the GTX280 to make this hum ...grrrrr I wonder if it is driver related? NOW i have been inflicted with the dreaded BLACK BOX touchdown effects!!! AGAIN!! Wolter - you replied to my mail once before about this and you had an original set of textures you could send me ... please? The last time i had to uninstall and reinstall again ... man what a hassle!!! :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi Doug, Sorry to hear of your woes there, BUT, just out of interrest and to be sure we all talk the same lenguage Did you install any Drivers for the Vid card ? Did you check in your hardware config panel that there is only ONE vidcard listed ? Wich Vidcard drivers do you have installed ? Did you back up your fsx.cfg and deleted it so fsX could rebuild a new one ? Are you using nHancer ? her my fsX.cfg maybe it's of some use to you [GRAPHICS] SHADER_CACHE_PRIMED_10=1693500672 SHADER_CACHE_PRIMED=1693500672 D3D10=0 TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096 NUM_LIGHTS=8

Vonduck Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi Wolter -so glad you are there! Thanks for your answers and i will attempt to fill in the blanks as it were ... Initially i have been fiddling to see what the culprit is ... so here we go ... 1. Deleted and created a new FSX.cfg file and run the sim = no popping sounds or any such occurrence 2. Gradually added the entries form my old FSX.cfg and discovered it was the Bufferpool tweak in any shape or form that was causing the problem ... once deleted no problems at all! Now for the rest of the info you asked about ... When i changed my video card, Vista recognized it straight away and hence it was functioning from the get go ... i simply installed the new 190.40 drivers and deleted any reference to the old 8800GTS in the FSX.cfg file ... there was no 'found new hardware' situation at all! Checking the system it is all installed as the right card ... There is only one card installed (what exactly do you mean by the config panel?) according to my system device manager ... Drivers as mentioned are 190.40 ... I am using nHancer with the following settings... AA - 8xSQ, Gamma, Transp, SS AF - 16x Vsync - on, triple buffer Performance - quality Neg lod - clamp As for the textures, it is indeed the effects textures ... again!!!!!! Why this occurs i have no idea whatsoever! Now little black boxes and no white smoke at all .... Just wondering in your .CFG, the lines that have // in front, does this mean you don't use them? Thanks Wolter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi Doug, if you did not remove the "old vidcard" via your system device manager = hardware control panel BEFORE installing the "new vidcard" you could have a possible conflict on your system ! What to do ? delete the Vidcard via your system device manager run DriverSweeper, I've posted it up in another post, restart the system, Windows will tell you it has found a new device and will try and install drivers, say NO and that you want to install the drivers for it, point it to you 190.XX ones and install restart the system after drivers installed and defrag the C drive. as for the // in front of the cfg file lines that's to exclude/switch off the line, makes life easyer to revert back to some settings and let's one keep track of what you have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonduck Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Will give that a try now Wolter -many thanks! Here goes .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonduck Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Well, here we go ... I uninstalled and reinstalled and after much ado the new drivers work well ... (Thanks to Bill for his PM as well ... very helpful) The bufferpool tweak did not seem to make the noise this time around and i have applied it but will need to reduce it as it is making stutters ... I have applied some of your tweaks to Wolter to see what they do ... one weird thing i have now (apart form the effects for the smoke!!!) is the jaggies! It seems i cant get rid of them using nHancer or anything else i do! Any ideas? I have attached my FSX.CFG for your amusement to see what you think ... I like the // entry - very helpful indeed! I am wondering if there is anything in the CFG that is causing the jaggies?

Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi Doug, Did you reload nHancer and re-applied it to force the settings to your Vidcard ?

Nyxx Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I could be wrong but i think i read somewhere that nhancer does not work with DX10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 As far as i know AA and vsync is not possible with FSX DX10. At least i never got it to work. Safe a lot of headache and run DX9. If nHancer doesn't give you AA (DX9) after changing the driver, just reinstall it. Best result you'll get with combined AA. Like Wolter mentioned set anisotropic filtering in FSX and also 16x quality AF in nHancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mode=1920x1200x32 - this is my native resolution I deleted and reloaded nHancer to apply the settings and have copied your settings BUT still the jaggies ... obviously something is overriding what is happening inside FSX ... i changed the setting in FSX to ANIO as instructed .. no difference I am running DX9 not 10 at this stage ... Wondering if i should reload the driver itself? I am open to any suggestions at this point ... it was working fine now disaster! \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonduck Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Gents -reinstalled my driver (190.40) and found a backup effects folder form the last time and now all is running as it should! I am now to play with the BP setting just to see if this works or not! You guys have been awesome with you assistance! I am so grateful for your input -hopefully one day i can repay! Now for the BP test ... will report back Regards and thanks Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonduck Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Yes - it is ALIVE!!!! Having said that, the buffer pools do not work on my system as this creates the popping fuzzy noise ... i am thinking maybe the driver is the culprit so may change to an older one to see what happens ... Smoke is back to normal now so at least that is good! Cheers guys DOug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 The high pitch noise comes from your GPU (probably analog) capacitors at full power draw. It might be more noticeable at high FPS. Enable vsync in nHancer and lock your FPS at 30. Look how it goes... If it is too much, you eventually have to RMA the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I was about ready to suggest you REMOVE totally the Video Driver's and reload the Direct X and Direct Sound files as well as reload the nVidia Driver's without nHancer it is not needed with later nVidia Panel. Always set you Video settings Manually, always and never allow FSX or any other program to control Video settings automatically, it WILL cause errors like we have seen here eventually.

Vonduck Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 So ... Maurice, I take it you do not use nHancer ... if not, what are your settings in the Nvidia control panel that you use? I am willing to try all solutions! Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cirrusnature Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Might actually be a driver issue. Rolled back to 182.50 instead of the latest 190.38 with BP in the cfg and no strange noises or "sound stutters". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
