June 1, 200323 yr Fry's Electronics keeps offering the 128mb gforce mx440se for about $60 after rebate. Is this card recommended for Flight Simulators. I've heard that the MX models have a bandwidth/throughput problems. The Hardware review sites don't have a lot of information on this card and they always do benchmarks with "Doom" and "Quake" and never flight simulators.Thanks in advance,Sskoup
June 1, 200323 yr Let me say this kindly: That card sucks.Get a better card for a little bit more money. However, if you are in a pinch for cash, that card should work, but do note that you will have lots of difficulty with FPS and image quality.
June 2, 200323 yr I have the card from frys electronics and for me it doesn't suck.... I orriginally was going to get a ti4200 or whatever it is but when i got it and tried installing it, the damn thing wouldn't fit so i had to get a mx. I do however get very good frames on my system and if you should too all i might suggest is downloading the xp geforce4 update. It comes with new features and stuff.By the way what is your system?
June 2, 200323 yr Author Thanks for the replies.I'm currently running with a homebuilt.Athlon T-bird 1.2ghzIwill kk266 MB768mb's PC1333dfx V5 5500onboard C-Media soundWin98seThis setup is giving me an average 20 - 30 fps with most of the scenery sliders at max. The only reason I'm looking for a new video card is that the Voodoo card can't handle some of the newer aircraft textures i.e SF260.Sskoup
