Flight Simulator X
The following information will outline exactly what settings need tweaking in order to get the best custom tailored experience no matter what NVIDIA Graphics Card you own. These tech tips will truly let you play the game The Way It's Meant To Be Played.
| Try This Using in-game AF (anisotropic filtering) is always better than forcing AF in Driver Control Panel. It's always faster and gives virtually the same image quality, because game developers know exactly which surfaces need anisotropic filtering and which don't. It allows the GPU to save the precious resources and achieve better gameplay. Use in-game AF in Microsoft's Flight Simulator X to achieve better image quality. |
