I have a wide screen LCD. My video card has the max potential of 1440:900. Should I set my system settings and the FSX settings to this or is there a best alternative?
Any suggestions?

Hi Mike -

Sounds like you are using a 19" LCD. If so try 1152x864.

I did not like the suggested settings but thanks.
Nvidia sent me the update this weekend for 1440:900. I set the system to this and it looked smaller but much more cleaner and not stretched.
Does this mean I have HD Capability and should I be setting this in FSX as well?

It's either DVI or HDMI, can't remember.
I just wish I knew which setting to make in the Nvidia card and then in FSX.
There are just so many...
I wish someone had a chart, that addressed all the possible settings, like, "Mip map" on off and so on...

Does anyone out there have this?

Thanks Radar man. You seem to be the resident pro. I hope you don't mind me asking these silly questions...
I am just trying to get my set up to run at it's max without decreasing quality.
I have the 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 7350LE in a new HP Pavilion 1.6 2 duel core Intel processors. I have managed to get between 20-30 FPS but this depends on the scenery of course. I certainly don't have everything set to high.

Someone recommended changing the settings in the onboard card, but there are so many in addtion to the ones I will research above. Do I turn everything on? What is 2x, 4x, 16x, filtering? What is the best setting.
I tried getting rid of the jagged edges in the Nvidia card software, but when I pause the image while making changes, it still there. They provide a sample while making changes.

Mip-map. try high or whatever it has in your cards control panel and see how that looks.
