The latest driver versions are not always the best for older NVIDIA video cards. I am running a 8800GT 512mb and have been using version 180.48 for some time with no issues. Uninstall the driver and go to the NVIDIA driver archive and try an older driver. Also, running nHancer will help getting both FS9 and FSX to run smoothly.
Here are my nHancer settings and tips...
1. Download a copy of nHancer from www.nhancer.com and install it
2. Run it and on the main window, find the two FS profiles (FS9 (MS Flight Simulator 2004) and/or FSX (MS Flight Simulator X)) and remove them. You'll notice both have a greyed out "Enhance in-game AA setting" checked on the Enhancements tab.
3. Create new FS9 and FSX profiles, being sure to point them to the FS9.EXE and the FSX.EXE respectively in the lower portion below the list of profiles.
4. Now set your stuff on the right side of the screen in the tabs: I use the following settings on my 8800GT:
Enhancements Tab:
Anti-Aliasing: -CHECKED
Combined, 8XS – CHECKED
Enhanced in-game AA setting –UNCHECKED (VERY IMPORTANT!!)
Gamma correction-CHECKED
Super – Tranparency AA - CHECKED
Anisotropic Filtering:-CHECKED
16X – CHECKED
Vertical Sync: - CHECKED
On – CHECKED
Color Scheme: -UNCHECKED
Optimizations Tab:
Texture Filtering - High Quality -CHECKED
Trilinear Opt – Off -CHECKED
Aniso. sample opt. – Off -CHECKED
Negative LOD BIAS - Clamp (really important for eliminating blurries and shimmering) –CHECKED
Adj LOD BIAS – UNCHECKED
Force DXT3 (OpenGL) – UNCHECKED
Prerender Limit – UNCHECKED
Compatibility Tab:
ALL UNCHECKED
Within FS Display Settings (FS,FSX) - set the AA box to unchecked and the filtering to Trilinear in FS9 and Anisotropic in FSX. This *should* make AA work for you guys...
