Which video card (For FS9 not FSX)....

Featured Replies

I am one of those that will be skipping FSX so I want to get a better video card for my FS9 setup. I've narrowed the choice to these two cards and I would appreciate help in determining which will give me more horsepower with FS9.Nvidia GeForce 256MB 6800GT or Radeon X800XT 256MBthanks a lot!!

They will both perform about the same in FS9. Pick which ever one tickles your fancy!Gary

I have the X800XT and it is a great card. You'll love it for FS9, movies, animations, etc.It will give you 100 percent of what FS9 has to give, bar none!The Cat drivers are very stable.Cheers!Mitch R.

thanks for the answers guys. I kind of thought they would deliver about the same performance but when i started looking into pricing the Radeon is much more expensive than the GeForce and I could figure out why.

I am assuming you need AGP?

I have a 6800GT/OC and it is plenty for FS9. I used a Radeon 9700 Pro before this, and man it was buggy for driver issues on different games. FS was always fine with it, but it would lock up in various games, as did my brothers. We built identical machines.
