Hi Emma,That all depends on what resolution your are running. Any GPU question should be paired with display adaptor (GPU) resolution ;)

[Guest EmmaB2006]

Only 1280x1024 im on a 17" tft

7600GS best performance vs value.Are you by any chance running an Asrock mobo?

[Guest EmmaB2006]

Yes .. 775i65G ... im aware of the lack of DDR2 on the board.. i am unable to Afford more due to the fact i dont work and i am on Incapacity Benifit ... does its job in my opinion

[Guest wayupthere]

Oh ok, well then the 7600 should do you good.

[Guest EmmaB2006]

Decided on an X1950 Pro ...

Hi Emma, a wise decision if you don't want to use a driver from November 2006, Nvidia's 'latest' winXP WHQL for the 7xxx series... ;-) For FSX, it's best to have the 512MB version if you want to use it at max texture sizes (1024x textures). Ingame, this is adjustable via the 'Global texture quality' slider. Have fun and kind regards Jaap

Hi Clayton, hope you're well. For your GPU Department, you're asking the wrong person. I'm a beamer guy now! ;-) I honestly wouldn't have a clue. Due to your res however, I'ld nevertheless say "probably the best you can get!" ;-) Kind regards Jaap

If you were an ATI user before then you should be happy with that card. I have basiclly the PCI version of it and am quite pleased with it's performance. It does a great job driving my monitor which was the reason I got the card.
