I've just installed a new graphics card and and some more ram onto my computer to make FS9 run more smoothly, but there's been little appreciable difference in performance.I run an Intel P4 3.2 processor with 1MB L2 cache.It used to run a GeForce 6600GT 128mb graphics card and 2 x 512mb dual channel ddr ram but I've replaced this with an ATI X1650 pro 512mb card and 2mb of ram.There has been a modest improvement in frame rates and overall performance but in high density scenery areas like London Heathrow it's still a slide show with frame rates of around 6fpm.I have most of the sliders pushed to the right, frame rates set to a max of 30 and ai traffic at 50%.Now I'm left wondering whether I've bought the right graphics card.Any advice/suggestions would be most welcome.

Join the clubWhat are you flying and do you really need to be flying into Heathrow?If I really really had to choose my No 2 plane it would be the LDS 767-300 with FSCrew and something like that needs to go into major airports.But if you don't need to (and my signature may give you a clue what I'm flying constantly now)just put a minimal Afcad into EGLL and fly over it.
