February 12, 201016 yr I found a video card on sale and I was wondering if it was worth it? And also, if it will work with my current setup that I am building.Any help is appreciated! The card that I found is a "EVGA 01G-P3-N988-TR GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 256-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card." Since I am on a budget, I would like to take advantage of this sale, but not at the expense of getting something less...

February 13, 201016 yr How much is it then?I would go for the 200-series, but not the 295 since it has issues w. FSX. I have the 285 GTX and I "I´ll rather be down here wishing I was up there than be up there wishing I was down here"
February 13, 201016 yr Your question cannot be answered without further clarification. i.e. which version of FSX are you intending upon using, what add-ons, and at what resolution with which level(s) of AA/AF?
February 14, 201016 yr Commercial Member Without a doubt you will be wasting you cash going from a 9800GT 512MB to a 9800GT 1GB. The extra 512MB of RAM is not going to do aything for FSX - or just about any other game really unless you are using copious amounts of AA nd AF. Konrad
