Hi,
I just purchased a new coputer with a new video card : EAH 5770, one of the highest one arround !!!
But FSX is giving me the error message that my graphic card does not meet minimum and FSX dose not start !!!!
I think it is because I have a second screen linked through a USB port.
But I want to run FSX on the main graphic card and only should the GPS instrument on the USB screen , so I need to found a wait of getting FSW to not do this graphic card cheek
Any idea
HELP
Thanks,
Have you tried installing latest video card driver from the vendors site ie: ATI or Nvidia.
I do not run fsx as of yet but belive it is very CPU hungry too.

Do you still get the same error message if you disconnect the second USB screen? Also do you have the 5770 setup as your primary display?
I would try just running just the main card so that FSX builds the config file with it and then plug the other screen. If you still get the error check your fsx.cgf and see which displays shows as primary. You might have to manually edit it.
Hi,
In windows display proprety I disabled the USB screen and FSX is working ok.
But my problem is that I want to use this screen to display my GPS.
I can once FSX is running reactivate the screen, but it is not very user friendly.
I went into fsx config file and only found references to the main graphic card. I did not found any reference to my USB screen or its driver?? So I do not see were in fsx.cfg I could tell him my EAH 5770 is the primary display.
Thanks,
I would try enabeling the USB screen then deleting the fsx.cfg file (make back up first). After that run FSX and it will make a new cfg file for you, hopefully this time with the 2 monitors. If that doesn't work maybe post you cfg content here so that we can take a look at it! good luck
hello my friend i dont know if you got your problem fixed but i feel i can help you.
yes fsx is funny with more then one monitor hooked up to your screen.
with your new system you will need to dump all old vid drivers.
and you will need to disconnect all monitors but one ( one vid , one monitor).
make sure you make the monitor the main screen before you shut down.
restart then load new drivers.
then after you restart plug in new monitor, if new monitor causes you to get error or blanks out , im afraid you will have to stick to one monitor.
i was getting that error for thr longest time with a 285 card , and a e8500 cpu.
no way that could happen until i found out i was doing a dump and load with all monitors hooked up.
kept getting the error, and found out that my pci slot and secondary vid card was not agreeing with w7 64.
in fact i could not get a second card to work at all even a new one.
so i went to a four screen set up instead of five .
running trph2g0 on three 19in and one 24 inch.
also my frame rate went out of the roof , i mean frame rates i have never seen before.
i went over a 100 fps then with all the software loaded it went down to about 40 fps.
so if you still are having problems i that is where i would start.
