Yet another Request For Opinions on a video card upgrade

Featured Replies

Hi folks,I am running a GF3 Ti200 vid card on my P4 2.4C, 1Gb PC. I also have a PCI GF4 MX420 card installed for my 2nd "instrument panel" monitor.FS2004 runs "OK" on this system - frankly it doesn't run as well as I'd expect given the speed of this processor - and now that the Flight1 Meridian is out I'm seeing even lower framerates. And, I have a lot of stuff turned down or off in the sim, too...I've done some vid card research a number of times over the last few months - the last time I did it I decided that there didn't seem to be a card in the <$200 range (I can't/won't afford one of the $400 jobbies) that would give me much more oomph. I looked at things like pixels/second, video/memory clock speeds, etc. and the Ti200 didn't seem to be terribly slower than current offerings (e.g. the FX 5200).But then I started wondering if more on-board memory might help me out. The Ti200 is a 32Mb card, so basically the question is, will a 128Mb card provide some more headroom in FS2004?Right now the card I'm eyeing is a GeForce FX 5700 Ultra, btw.Thanks for any insight,Dave Blevins

Whoops, slight correction - my Ti200 card has 64Mb, not 32Mb.dB.

I think the 5700 would be a good choice, it's one of the fixed and updated FX chip's, probably a good buy, when I get a new system that is most likely the card I will go with, unless I decide to try ATI out, I will have to wait and see.
