Hi Folks!My Graphics Card - Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MByte - has just gone "dead". I have to buy myself another card. What can you recommend me to by? I'm flying FS9 with the PMDG 737NG.CheersLars Frederiksen

6800GT or X800 Pro... your choice ..

Thanks, I guess there's no problems with drivers for these graphic cards in relation to FS9 (because when I bought my Radeon 9800 Pro I had to wait for many month to get the right driver).CheersLars

can't speak for the x800, but my 6800gt works fine in fs9. just make sure you have the latest drivers from nvidia.

Anybody have some experience with drivers for Radeon X800 Pro in relation to FS9?CheersLars

ATI has cleaned up their act with the drivers over the past year .. Driver updates are being released every month...4.8 and 4.9 betas have proven to be the most stable D3D drivers so far and 4.9beta shines as giving a nice frame rate boost to Doom3.. No problems on the drivers front for the two manuafacturers in my opinionFor a forum where you can compare and contrast type guru of 3d in yahoo and go to their forums and look for the respective drivers forums for the manufacturers..Hope this helps

I am running FS9 with X800 pro, runs smooth as silk. Using latest driver release 4.8. I am having a few issues with java apps in internet explorer, but other than that, this card is very fast, but expensive. Remember, FS9 is a CPU hog more than a video card hog, don't expect as much of a frame rate jump in FS9 as you would see in other 3D sims(games), which can often double with the new generation video cards.

Thanks - I have ordered my X800 and I am looking forward to get it installed.Lars

Lars, why don't you just replace your current 9800, ATI warranties their product for three years (they send a free replacement usually).

My Radeon 9800 Pro crashed and I changed the cooling aggregate when I bought it a year ago. Because of this change my warranty is gone. That's why! Bad luck!Lars :+
