Upgrade my 8800GT to .........what?

Featured Replies

I have changed monitors to a 28" that runs at 1920x1200- and was wondering if there was any other VC that would benefit me at this point? I have the factork OC'd (KO) eVGA 8800GT 512- if not currently, are there any other offerings from nVidia coming down the pike?Also, as far as drivers I am running the latest WHQL driver release- any thoughts or preferences there? Obviously I run nHancer as well....thanks!Best-Carl F. Avari-Cooper BAW0225http://online.vatsimindicators.net/980091/523.png

Hi,You could look toward buying another 8800 GT if you have the right motherboard. According to Phil Taylor, turning up resolution forces the game to use a 2nd GPU (1920x1200 or higher). Or, you could get an 8800 GTX, but I think that's overkill.Regards,

Download FSXMark07 here from AVSIM. Do two runs - one at 1920x1200 and the other at whatever res you were running before the monitor upgrade (regardless of how it looks on screen). Have your FSX and AA/AF settings exactly as you currently use them.If there is neglible or minimal (<10%) performance difference between the two runs (as I expect there will be) and FSX is keeping up with the load without offloading scenery draws (lowest FPS > 10), save your money until the FSXI upgrade cycle.Gary
