I have an old 2001 gateway 1024x768 15'' monitor. I was thinking of getting a higher res monitor. Do you think it would make more sense to save up for a geforce 9800 when it comes out so I can use fsx in dx10 when it gets its dx10 makeover? Or will an 8800 suffice even with dx10 because fsx isnt gpu intensive? If an 8800 will do the job even with the new dx10 stuff ill just get a monitor because if I need dx10 by that time the 8800's should come down in price when a gpu that should have double the power hits the market.

At this stage, in respect of Directx 10 cards, it might well be worth holding off doing anything untill FSX Directx 10 is enabled and one can judge how good it is or is not. If you are going for a new CRT you can pretty flexible about what Graphic card goes with it, but if you go for a flat panel, they have specific resolutions they work at, so if you are going the flat panel route it might be worth timeing your screen and GPU purchase together.Best and Warm RegardsAdrian Wainer

Alright makes sense, I guess I'll wait.
