If by choppy you mean jagged edges on the aircraft that's the AA and mip-map setting in your video card.

With a new card you should clean out the old drivers and reinstall new drivers.
Check all the settings in the cards control panel and see what you need to adjust.

Hmm could i get a little bit of a run through on how to do so?
i installed the new drivers.. but what else?

Control panel/settings tab/ advanced/Catalyst control center (ATi-I don't know what NVIDIA would say).
The go into it and start adjusting slowly reading everything you can.

See if this helps.

Well usually those jagged edges have something to do with flight simulator sometimes.. Make sure you have your AA on in fsx by going to your graphics settings and check the aa box.
