New Vid Card Gives Me Fits

My old system used a Nvidia GE Force 8400 GS and worked just fine. My new system card is a Nvidia GE Force 210 and I don't like what its done to any moveable surface (doors, cowl flaps, rudder, elevators, ailerons). Anyone have a suggestion as to why I'm having this problem. If it matters, I'm running XP.GCS0001.jpgGCS0002.jpgGCS0003.jpg
 
Did you do a clean out of ALL the old drivers before you installed the new card and its drivers? I have discovered sometimes you have to go into the RegEdit and physically search for and delete old files.
 
Aussieman ... this is a completely new computer, start to finish. I'm so frustrated that I'm seriously thinking of going back to a 8400GS. What are some of you people running for vid cards. I fly FSX (both) as well as FS9 and CFS2 if that matters. Even my tech guy doesn't have a clue why the video is so screwy.
 
Indeed this is an ultra-low-end video card.
With NVidia it's quite easy to understand. Just look at the number. If you buy a GT or GTX "xyz", then the general rule (not *totally* accurate, but good enough to get a rough idea) is as follows:
- "x" is more or less the generation of the card.
- "y" is the quality/power. 8-9 are high-end cards, 7 is regular/good, 6 is economic balance, and 5 is low end. Anything below 5 is good for Excel and Word, and eventually watching movie...
- "z" is useless.
