Bruce Hamilton Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Looks like your graphics card is being overworked, 1GB is pretty low by todays standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 as Bruce mentioned, start with setting all sliders left, 1 Gig graphics card will get overcooked by the amount of data it wants to handle but can't cope with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Sulla Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks, do you have any recommendations to any specific slider/setting? I also use REX TextureDirect 4. The area on my screenshots is near KLAX Also, for some reasons the blurr shows only on nearby area while all father away seem to be perfectly fine. I have LOD set to 8.5 - any suggestions to that?

Maximus Sulla Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 The video card is GIGABYTE GV-R687OC-1GD Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 LOD set at 8.5 is way too high, especially for that 1Gb video card. Turn it down to 4.5 and work up from there. No wonder you have blurries, and you're over a graphics-heavy urban scene on top of that. I would suggest that you put your Radeon card back in the box and upgrade to a mid- or high-level Nvidia card (at least 2Gb) and then you're set up to run DX10. You'll never go back to DX9.

coolgovind180 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 LOD of 8.5 with that graphic card..thats too high...bring it down to 4.5 as told by stewart...also upgrade your graphic card..with just global you may be fine with this graphic card but along with rex 4 textures..if tht too set at thigh resolution..ur PC is meant to bottle neck.... Also you have not mentioned the speed of ur CPU...if you have less than 4 GHz..tht too adds to the issues...overclock it if possible,...increase the fiber time main fraction to 0.33(which is default).. cheers govind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Sulla Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks, guys. I did decrease LOD to 6.0 - and brought some sliders down, one that helped a lot was decrease cloud distance to 90. So it is better but yes, I do need to upgrade the card; looking for either NVidia 970 or Radeon R9 - 290X with 4Gb The processor is i7 running @3.7 Thanks again and Happy New Year to all.

coolgovind180 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 all the way choose nvidia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 all the way choose nvidia... +1. Assuming your running FSX, should you ever wish to run it with DX10, an Nvidia card will be much more likely not to object. And the documentation here on the forum to help you with DX10 is outstanding. If you're using P3D, then never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Sulla Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yeah, I most probably will go with GIGABYTE GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD GeForce GTX 970 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0; its about $50 more than SAPPHIRE TRI-X OC 100362-2SR Radeon R9 290 4GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 though. BTW why do you think Radeon will "object" to DX10? The specs say it supports DX11..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW why do you think Radeon will "object" to DX10? The specs say it supports DX11..... Whether the Radeon supports DX11 is irrelevant--FSX cannot. I'll admit my less capable Radeon 7790 just wasn't up to running DX10, no matter how I tweaked it. My Nvidia GTX770, on the other hand, has no problems. And as I said previously, the support for running DX10 Preview with Nvidia cards here on the DX10 Discussion forum is excellent. Personal opinion, but AMD still hasn't quite measured up to Nvidia since taking over Radeon. Maybe for other high level games, I don't play 'em, but not for this flight sim, whether FSX or P3D.

kurwayork Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just to add my twopenneth; I have the same problem and the same texture result, I have an i7 3.7 gig, 16 gig ram and an Nvidea GTX 770, so my answer would be to get something bigger than a GTX 770 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_YVR Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 The screens above look far more like poor setup in the videocard settings than an overworked card. I've run FSX with far worse cards than the 6780 before and it's never looked that bad. The 6870 should be able to run FSX much better than that.
