ATI 3850 AGP Users

[Guest troyboy66]

Hi all. anyone using the above mentioned graphics card? The catalysts 9.9 drivers with the hotfix is a complete nightmare for me. While I'm able to play other games with huge frame rate improvements just fine, FSX is totally not playable. I get anything from black screen, textures not showing up on the majority of my aircrafts, FSX not loading and giving error - 'unable to load FSX cfg.' unbeleivable low frame rates. (hard to believe since upgrading from a Geforce 7300 AGP 512M, 128bit.)I have tried older drivers from 9.3 up including the beta 9.10 from guru3d, without any luck. Before I continue, let me say that my system is mediocre.Specs: Asus A7N8X deluxeAMD barton 2800 - clocked 3200 @2.2 mhzWin Vista 32bit SP22Gb of DDr2HDDCreative Xfi Xtreme GameSaitek X52Sapphire ATI HD 3850 AGP 512MB, 256bitAntec ATX 500Watt - thinking of upgrading to a 750Watt power supply real son.In any case, I have tried with minimum settings from both game and drivers. Even got the drivers successfully clocked at 709/933. but still suffering.Would like to know what other drivers ATI users are using and if there may be other workarounds before upgrading my system? NOTE: i was pretty happy with Nvidia, just thought I was getting a better deal. ThanksTroy
