hey guys..im stuck on what card i should get to ugprade from the Nvidia 5900FX thats bottlenecking my system right now for FS 2004.I have AMD 64 3000+ Newcastle1 GB KINGSTON DDR 400160GB SEAGATE HD460W ANTEC PSShould i go for the Nvidia 6800 or something? or head over to the ATI side? which is best for clouds/ai traffic? is the drivers a problem with ATI anymore? nvidia seems to be reliable in that matter? any tips?thanks,Stephen

Although not everyone has the same opinion, I find the 6800GT/OC to be a wonderful graphics solution from an image quality and performance standpoint, with absolutely no crashes, video freezes, or anything in the way of technical difficulties. I run at 1600x1200x32 4xAA 8-16xAF, most sliders hard right. Performance is smooth.Noel

ATI drivers are good IMHO. But since you are an Nvidia user it is probably easier to upgrade to the 7800-series. I wouldn't buy a 6800 at this time. There have been some problems with Nvidia drivers and certain cards, but the rumour is that has been solved.-

Yep, the driver issue in FS is gone with the new ones out today!I'd recommend a 7800GT - that's probably the best bang for the buck card right now.

...Or the ATI X850 or higher
