Graphics Card 512MB vs. 1GB

Featured Replies

Hello,At the moment I'm using a 9600GT 512MB NVidia card. I know that FSX needs more CPU power than graphics power. But what do you think - Is it useful to switch from 512MB to 1GB graphics memory when using sceneries like ORBX Brisbane with high resolution ground textures or detailed 3D object sceneries like US Cities X?Thanks,Patric

Hi Patric - Personally I think it is a mix of the two with the video card being a little more important. I recently switched to the GTX470 from the GTX275 and noticed a difference. I am not familiar with the addons you mentioned hopefully someone will chime in with an answer regarding your querry.You could also try posting in the Video Cards and Drivers forum
