Rossdh Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi there guys. First Post here. Just made the jump from Nvidia to ATi today and got myself a 5870. I've never used an ATi card before so I'm confused about settings for FSX and I was wondering if you could lend a hand. I'd like to now setting for the CCC and also the FSX config file. The rest of my spec is as follows: i5 750 @ 4GHz 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM XFX HD5870 23" Dell S2309W 1920 x 1080 Thanks in advance, Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 At the risk of being pedantic , I'd suggest you start with the same settings you used with your nVidia Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit Flyer_old Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hi Ross, Welcome to the forums. That sounds like a good rig so I am sure you will sort things out. There is lots of help here. My experience with ATI is next to none, so all I can do is encourage you. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo32 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 welcome to the forum ,i have the 5870 ati card and i have tried all the aa/af/midmaping settings and tried to set them higher i found setting the card to the defalt settings worked best for me ,the higher the setting i went the much lower frames i was getting but im running daul monitors ,i have the update drivers 10.3, it runs ok ,i dont think im much help here but defalt video card settings work best for me tho display detail suffers slightly not much ,i do all the settings for display in ftx it self ,good luck.

sylvester243 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 i am using a Gigabyte 5870 and cant complain at all, on average flying around Australia at below 10 000ft i get anywhere between 42 - 76fps depending on the scenery around, only place i have problems is YMML where it can be between 14 - 42fps depending on which view your looking at.....flying a jet at FL310 i get around 80 - 140fps....as you guess i have it set as unlimited. settings i use is AA - 8X Box AAMode - Adaptive Multi-sample AA AF - 8X AI - Standard Mipmap - High Quality i cant say you will have the same results but it will give you somewhere to start.....good luck you will enjoy the 5870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
