Hi!
just wondering, how does it affect your game's performance. My 32MB graphics card is *beep* me off and am planning on buying anew video card. I am running a computer that has 256Mb of RAM.

| I recently purchased a good used ATI 9200 and while it improved my performance quite a bit, gameplay and graphics still lacked that snappy smooth motion, especially when running lots of addons or with details set high. Framerate has been a mediocre 9-15 during multiplayer and not much better than that when it's just me. I would have to say be certain you max out your RAM as this is really more crucial to the motion and feel of Flight Simulator, then the grapics card will really come into it's own when there is something to back it up system wise. Spectropro can give you more details about card choice and performance. |
