All:A few months ago, I got a 22-inch monitor as a gift, but of course my E6600, 2GB, 8800GTS 320MB system struggles to run FS9 in native resolution (1920x1200). It's not so bad at fairly simple airports when there are no clouds, but drops to single digits in complex weather or at detailed airports (I ran FS9 on a 17-inch, everything maxed out with very high framerates). So, is there light at the end of the tunnel? Could just upgrading my rig do the trick? If so, should I prioritize the GPU or the CPU (or RAM)? What new GPU or CPU should I go for?Thanks for your thoughts.Nicolas

The framebuffer of your GTS 320 is lacking. Essentially you want a GPU approximately as powerful but with a larger amount of VRAM. If you're running Windows XP, a GTS 250 512 would do just fine, same goes for 9800 GTX/GTX+ 512. If you're running Vista/7, a 1GB GTS 250 or better (GTX 260/275/285) would work nicely.

Thanks! So the weak point would be the GPU, which is good news I guess. I'll try that.Nicolas
