November 14, 200619 yr Hi All-I bought a new Dell E521:Athlon X2 3800+1Gb RamNvidia 6150 (integrated)What is a better upgrade card for FS9 a 7900GS or GT? Will I notice a difference? Does FS9 work better with an ATI?Thanks in advance,COIAH
November 14, 200619 yr FIRSTLY: Welcome to the boards,...What display (size) are you using, as its equally important when getting a GPU. and making the final decision what card to get.SECONDLY: Dont you rather want to wait when the DX10 cards are matured? (FSX) in mind,if not....The whole thing with Nvid vs. ATI is old news ;) ..They both have their pros and cons, but both work well with fs. as far as the GS vs GT the performance isnt that great of a difference they are both nice cards.If you have a look here http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=443&card2=384# you get a comparison so you can judge for yourself
November 17, 200619 yr Personally, I would recommend the new ATi Radeon X1950 Pro over a Geforce 7900GT or GS. It has better anti aliasing, slightly better FPS, uses less wattage, smaller die size (80nm) and now supports the new SLi style crossfire. The 256 MB version retails at around US$199, or 512MB US$239
