Just fitted the card and 2mb of ram, well I was surprised it fired up and worked!!
First thoughts... Frame Rate appeared the same but it was good in the first place, the graphics seem smoother on the eye and overall nicer and just clearer, nothing major, tried it at a heavy scenery airport with shed loads of AI and it worked a treat overall an improvement, only thing is even with 256Mb DDR3 ram it can still take a little while to colour in those textures at the busy busy airport with max AI, maybe world peace is easier to achieve after all :lol:
Tried it in COD2 and a few other things and thats when you see its a big big improvement, COD2 can be run at higher resolutions and higher detail now and is so smooth.
I am sure I will be more than happy with the card but I will give it some more testing in FS. The main thing is everything works after my grubby mits had infiltrated the inards of the PC!! :D

I seem to have the same problem now. I decided on a whim to update to the latest drivers today and now AA doesn't work no matter what I do. I run fullscreen 1280*1024 16af/8saa with a 6800U. I can't remember what the drivers that I was using previously!

Stating the obvious but I don't suppose a restore point would help?.... :dunno:

Sorry to hear of your woes......let us know how it goes, it is a good learning curve for us all when a problem occurs and more importantly how it gets sorted.

Regards.

I might have to try that. I'm not keen on using windows restore though.

Done it with no problems and I was using some old 93.71 drivers that I intend to keep! If it ain't broke then don't fix it!

Glad to hear it.....was it as simple as the Windows restore?
