There's something else to try, which is quite a long shot.
Step 1: Change your Win7 desktop settings to something lower, say 1600 x 900. If the results are okay, then,
Step 2: Change the config.engcfg bbwid and bbhei settings to match the new resolution, then try them out in-game.
If everything is okay so far, then:
Step 3: Change Win7 desktop setting back to 1920 x 1080.
Step 4: Change config.engcfg bbwid and bbhei to match the resolution.
Occasionally, application settings fail to 'take' when the driver settings remain as defaulted,
PS
Throughout all this, its important to
un-check the 'Restrict Video Modes' (or check the'Do not restrict Vid eo Modes'
) setting in the game. Since the game can't recognize your card, its automatic restrictions would be unreliable.

Whatever I did seemed to work...somewhat. I changed the resolution back and forth and nothing happened but when I checked "Do not restrict Video Modes" that seemed to help. With a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 the view was now clear as a bell however the in-game messages was still half buried so I changed to:
bb_wid = 1680;
bb_hei = 1050;
bb_freq = 60;
bb_fmt = 22;
Now everything is working much better allowing me to test run the drivers tutorial-aside from me being rusty it was playable.
What I noticed in-game is that when changing stations, opening caps, changing views there is a huge lag. The screen goes black while I can hear the game running in the background, the keyboard commands even seem to work but all is black. This lasts for 30-60 seconds then graphics appear as normal.
Also, the "graphic card has less than 128 mb memory and game may not run at all." window is still there.

Also, there is no "switchable Graphics" I went online and this card does not seem to have this option associated with it. Other 7000 series card do but this one has no mention.
