Videocard upgrade for FS9 for better AA & AF

Hi Scratch, fine, than you. Hope you're ok too. :-) OnT, for FS9 @ >1024x a X1950pro is probably the best you can do. At the same time it might be slight-medium overkill? 'May' because I have no personal experience. My estimate would be, 'ancient' X800pros or X800XTs with 256MB/DDR3 can already take you all the way. Important are the 256MB, a 256-bit interface and ideally 12 or more pipelines. HST, some users have reported that 7600GT Geforces seems to be the (usual!) exception. It fulfils all the a.m. criteria except for the interface (7600 = 128-bit). Pls note I'm not saying 9800pros w/ 128MB are useless. On the contrary, they can still take us simmers a long way. However, @ 1280x and max texture quality settings, those 128MB can't hold what 'FS9.1-juiced' will want to put up for you to see. If somebody runs multiple monitors, it's probably a different story again. I don't think it will double GPU-memory requirements, but it should be more. Maybe 1.3-1.5 times more? This likely depends a lot on whether you render outside views or panels, etc. Please note I haven't looked into multi-monitors indepth for quite a while. Hmmm, perhaps I shouldn't be guessing that much? :-) Anyway, for those who might be interested in technical details, here are the GPU-specs for Radeons: http://www.rojakpot.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=0And here for Geforces: http://www.rojakpot.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=1All the best and kind regards Jaap
