AllcottThanks very much.The question is:- Should I buy NOW 2 NVIDIA 7900 GTX with 512 MB eachOR- Wait until Spring 2007 and then buy DX10 compatible cards Thats all for my Flight Simulator FS2004 / FS X (next week).My frame rates are now very slow +- 15 !!!Peter

FSX is as much CPU-bound as GPU. Factor in a complete system upgrade in the first quarter of 2007 and you should be well placed.Allcott

Hi all**********When does ASUS or others sell this new cards?*********I heard from a vender yesterday that they will have NVIDIA G80 chiped cards an Mid-November.--- Do we really need the "fastest" videocard for FS9 / FS x (about 650 US$)?Or it is better to invest more money in the CPU (Intel Core Duo 6800 Extreme) and a little bit less (about 400 US$) in the video card?Peter

Take the $500 dollars you saved and buy the good video card. Have cake and eat it. :-)

RichThank you very much for your advice, that is what I will do!Where can I get some instruction howto overclock a CoreDuo 6700 to 3.0 GHZ?Peter
