Classic British Flight Sim

The reason I am posting here (which is something that I do not do, normally), is that, since last year I had decided to try to fix the Antialiasing problem that goes with FS9 and drivers, at that time I was running the sim with Nvidia driver 306.52 and I did so since I acquired the system I am using. specs:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bits SP1
AMD FX-6100 3.30 GHZ processor
EVGA GTX560 TI 2GB (MAXIMUM 4095)
8 GB RAM DDR5
Samsung Syncmaster 2243nw 1680 x 1050

Now, due to consistent black screens and other problems, I came to the decision of updating the driver, took 352 and started to investigate which could have been the best options to configure Nvidia Inspector and have the sim running nicely. After trying about 5 different drivers, 340.52 gave me the results and then I had the sim running in a way I have never seen it in my life, crisp, no AA jaggies that my simple eye could notice (possibily there was but I could not see them) and even in the most heavy and resource consuming sceneries it did give me excellent FPS with no sutters at all! in all perfect!. However after 2 weeks of having it this way, I started to have serious graphic problems and pushed me into looking for another driver. My settings as they were when the sim was running perfectly were these, took shots of it as preventive measure to know the settings that were needed.




I proceeded to try other driver in order to get rid of the graphic problems I was experiencing ( specially black or red squares all over the monitor and in video applications). But after trying and trying I never got to set the sim back to how It was once running. It has taken almost 2 weeks of time in trying to fix this mess and still no solution is present. I have read numerous posts here, there and everywhere, NickN's, Kostas, techies etc etc etc....... and all kinds of guides from all kinds of assorted chums who are regarded as gurus, but none of them seems to do anything.

All the drivers do work(so-so), since I do and try out settings both in Nvidia CP and Inspector, yes I can see differences, but none has given me that "sweet spot" that I was running in some weeks ago with 340.52. To this day I am back on 340.52 but hell sure it is not reacting as it was before, I have tried to set things as they are shown on the above screenshots yet I do not get the performance I was working with.

I leave links which show differences, the next pictures show how a flight sim model looks in another rendering application called FSREPAINT, first with no AA and then with AA set at 8xS. Then a last one to how that the jaggies still show in the Simulator, this problem happens with any game I use. no proper AA.





I am deeply sorry If it is a very long post, but I am really desperate of being unable to solve this problem.

Thanks and my apologies.

It's been a long time since I used FS9, but I seem to remember you must have AA turned OFF in FS to allow the driver to control AA directly. Have you done that?
Saying that, a couple of your comments concern me. First you say it was working fine with a new driver, then after a couple of weeks you started to have problems, and also you mention black and red squares on the screen. Sounds like the video card could be overheating or even on it's way out. Check the fan and/or heatsink for dust. You can monitor the temp in nVidia Inspector.

Dave hello, thanks for your answer. Yes AA is off, I always kept it off specially when the simulator was running perfectly and having Inspector run the show. As for the card, it is frequently cleaned from dust very carefully also to the fact that I have 2 cats running in the flat. The temperatures go from 30-40c on idle, to 70-75c while using the sim in demanding situations. After that I decided to reinstall windows from 0 but, the problem still persists. This is how the simulator looks at a setting of 16xS and still there are jaggies, how can it be that at 8 before there little to none and now at 16 is quite visible is beyond me.

I decided to reinstall my driver with a small different step and now I have the Inspector settings as they appeared the first time I ever used inspector, has anybody seen this before?????
