I was curious and thought it would be fun to know what your favorite vid card is?Mine, i would have to say the 6800GT OC 256MB.

Of all time? I'd have to say the good ole Voodoo 5 from 3DFX. It was the first video card out that supported FSAA (or just AA as it is called now) and IMO made one of the biggest visual improvements to flight simulators by smoothing out those jaggies. For demonstration purposes, FSAA could be switched on and off on the fly, which gave users an immediate appreciation of life before and after FSAA.AA quality, again IMO, was not surpassed until the Radeon 9700/9800 era of video cards, the latter being what I run now. I had a Geforce 3 in the interim and, whilst its AA performance was much better than the Voodoo 5, it didn't hold a candle to the V5 in the AA visual quality arena.RIP Voodoo 5 (and 3DFX) :-halo Gary

Overall 9700 PRO hands down. Even beats my old voodoo 2 which is a major achievment.Now I like my 6800 ULTRA too not because it

What Gary said :)Voodoo5 was really cool, then I got a Geforce3 (actually had the original Radeon for almost a year inbetween) which was faster but didn't look as good. Then I got a 9700 Pro which looked as good as the Voodoo5 and was *insanely* fast for its time. Most recently I got the X800XT which is like a 9700 Pro on steroids but doesn't really improve on quality (other than allowing for higher degrees of AA and AF without the performance hit).

"Overall 9700 PRO hands down."I still have my Voodoo 5500... it was a great card. But I believe the 9700 Pro is the greatest of all time. It is the card that broke nVidia's short buy costly (to consumers) monoploy. The 9700 Pro brought back market competition to the video card market. And the consumer is better for it. The end result is that we are now offered great technology by both nVidia and ATI and at competitive prices.Greg

The thing with the 9700 PRO was that it was the first card that could give both image quality and speed at the same time. nVidia has always been about power and features. It has been their strategy since day one and always worked well. Remember the TNT times. The Rage PRO chip had superior filtering and colours but TNT was so fast noone would consider a Rage PRO which couldn

im ashamed to admit. I am running a TNT right now... and thats another reason why im getting another systemsys. im about to getAMD Athlon64 3200+512MB PC3200 (upgrading when money is avalible)80GB SATA 7200RPMDVD R-/RW (Dual Drives)ATi Radeon 9600XT 128MB..Thats my "budget system"Current sys:P4 1.5 40GB HDDVD-ROMCD-RW512MB PC133NVidia TNT64 32MB*sigh* im so ashamed.. :'(

TNT is cool nothing to be ashamed about lol I wish I could say I am still on Voodoo 2 though that won

now which fs version might that be? lol

How about the old ATI Graphics Ultra Pro? Wasn't that the first card to have for FS? Man, when I saw that thing run the FS4 sound and graphics upgrade (SGA) I was amazed.
