Totally Clueless About GTX1060

[Aharon]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

While my MSI GE62VR 6RF Apache Pro with 16 GB ram, 6 GB NVIDIA GTX 1060, 1 TB 7,200 rpm, and 226 GB SDD drive is doing well for my FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2 set in Windows 10 Professional operating system, I am trying to figure out to solve the problem of little fuzzy on ground texture when flying at FL350. Ground is always sharp when I see ground under my plane but little fuzzy when looking off left or right wing. My five year old laptop with 12 GB ram, 2 GB NVIDIA Geoforce 560 with CUDA, and 750 GB 7,200 rpm could show crisp ground texture from FL350 when under plane or looking right and left of the plane.

Since MSI GE62VR 6RF Apache Pro laptop is loaded with fancy glitz functions that I cannot make heads or tails to create right setting for FSX, I look at NVIDIA control center and notice that it is set to global setting with NVIDIA GRU. Should I switch setting to High Performance NVIDIA setting or leave it alone? I am afraid to mess it up.

I also notice that the NVIDIA control center's Anisotropic setting is set to 8X for FSX. I changed from 8X to 16X. Is this correct thing for me to do to make the ground texture crisp sharp when flying at FL350? Or is it big mistake and I should change back to 8X?

Thanks for any help that any of you might offer.

Well I am still not getting crisp sharp ground textures when looking at left or right side, not under the plane.

For FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2, what are the best FSX settings and NiVdia settings to achieve crisp sharp ground textures when flying at FL350 or 10,000 ft or 5,000 ft please? I am trying to figure out why my new powerful laptop with 16 GB ram with fastest memory chips, 6 GB dedicated GTX1060 video ram, Latest 6th Gen. Intel® Core™ i7 processor, and 1 TB 7,200 rpm hard drive is not doing what you can see in my screenshot that was taken by my 6 year old laptop with 12 GB ram, 2 GB dedicated GT 580 Cuda NiVidia video ram, and 750 GB 7,200 rpm hard drive. I cannot access to my old laptop's files to look at settings as it is dead.

Here is screenshot example out of old laptop:

I know my new laptop is one zillion times more powerful than my 6 year old laptop so I must have been using wrong settings in FSX.

I am studying both fsx.cfgs from old and new laptop to see any difference that might contribute or explain the factor for little fuzzy ground textures. So far, both are same except two words: ProcSpeed and Thermal Visual which show different numbers in both FSX.cfgs.

What is ProcSpeed? In old laptop, it shows 6694. In new laptop, it shows 5672.

What is thermal Visuals? In old laptop, it is zero. In new laptop, it is one.

Does it explain why little bit fuzzy ground texture on left and right sides of plane (not under plane)?

Regards,

Aharon

You seem to be showing the old pics rather than the new ones you find problematic so it's hard to tell, but the symptoms you describe sound like the LOD radius, which would probably be normal. I note that your pics looks fine but also don't appear to be taken from FL350.

MarkH,

here is info...

The old laptop has i7-3612 CPU @2.10 GHZ

The new laptop has Skylark i7-6700 HQ CPU @ 3.20 GHZ expandable to 3.80 GHZ if desired

Here is FSX.cfg as seen below:
