May 26, 200620 yr I'm in the process of building a PC to be used primarily for FS. I'm looking to get a video card that can run the program smoothly with sliders maxed out. I've looked at many but am looking closely at a GForce 7300 GS 256MB card. Will that meet my needs? And if not, suggestions? ThanksOther specsP4 630 3.0ghz2GB DDR2
May 27, 200620 yr CPU makes much more of a difference to FPS in FS than graphics card. What CPU are you strapping it to?

May 27, 200620 yr Reading your post again, I see that a 3GHz P4 is yor CPU of choice. I am not familiar with the 7300 but it sounds like a castrated 7800 of some sort. Also, a 3GHz P4 is not exactly a front line performance CPU, so you will be struggling to get a full sliders right outcome with your proposed setup. You should maybe consider a faster p4 ($$$) or an AMD Athlon 64 of 3500+ speed and a graphics card like either a Nvidia 6800 / 7800 or an ATI 1800 / 1900 for optimal performance. If you are thinking FSX, then it may be better to wait and see what hardware specs it demands.Gary 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
