August 14, 200421 yr I'm considering this card but can't seem to find out if it "fully" supports DX9... not that it's just compatible (as is my old Diamond Viper 770).Thanks,Andrew H e l p k e e p A V S I M f l y i n g
August 14, 200421 yr The Ti 4200 supports DirectX 8. FS9 graphics require only DirectX 8 GPU's. FS9 needs DirectX 9 only for multiplayer.Greg
August 14, 200421 yr I gave a link with specs in another post.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...e=search#202903here they are againnvidia http://www.rojakpot.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=1ati http://www.rojakpot.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=0you don't need a DX9 card for FS9, you do need a DX8 card with shaders or better for water reflections.Kurt M
August 14, 200421 yr Author Hi guys, thanks for the help.Sorry I forgot your post, Kurt - you memory must be better than mine! I've been reading a lot lately...Andrew H e l p k e e p A V S I M f l y i n g
August 14, 200421 yr I don't know if it full supports DX 9, but I have running, the 61.77 drivers and DX 9.0C and the card works perfectly.
August 14, 200421 yr Author Hi Kurt - Thanks for the info.I see you have a system like mine - have you considered upgrading your processor?Also, what kind of performance do you get?(If you can suggest a way we could compare performance - can I post a saved flight somehow? - this might be pretty informative)And I'm wondering, too, if XP Pro would make much/any difference over 98SE.Cheers,Andrew H e l p k e e p A V S I M f l y i n g
August 15, 200421 yr Andrew - I have considered but for the cost of getting a PIII @ 1 GHZ, I might as well save my money and wait till I can get a new one, which I am possibly going to around X-Mas time. For comparing performance, send me an email and I will think of something, email addy is "[email protected]" without the quotes, I too ran 98SE, switched to XP, I was impressed, then once I went from 256MB of ram to 512MB, it really went fast, and then I tweaked windows a fair amount, and it runs very well, and with SP2 even a bit faster, so send me an email and I will think of someway to compare.
