April 14, 200422 yr Hi there,I don't know wether to upgrade my graphics card or processor.... my card is very low-end, but I know that FSim is a processor game, so I don't want to spend my money on something that's not going to produce a noticable increase in frame rates.Here's my spec running FS2k2 on XP.Intel (4) 1.7Ghz (unclocked)NVidia RIVA TNT 64 (32mb) Graphics Card512 Mb RAMAny advice much appreciated - there's a nice ATI Radeon 9600 Pro on EBay which I'd like to get today if anyone can help with a quick reply.Thanks again for any input,Tom
April 14, 200422 yr Well you definiatly need a new video card but also your video card will be heavily bottlenecked by that slow CPU but I guess you should be able to overclock it some. Video card would make the biggest difference really.
April 15, 200422 yr If it's not too late Tom get the video card, that currently is your bottleneck.If you are so inclined you can always try overclocking your CPU or save up for a replacement one.There comes a point however where upgrading each component no longer works and you need to upgrade mo/bo, CPU, RAM, PSU (and maybe case) and then the graphics card again :-)
April 15, 200422 yr Thanks for the tips, guys. I did get the card and I'm waiting for it to arrive.Don't know where I'd be without these forums!Cheers again,Tom
