Hey guys

i want to upgrade my computer to a faster one...
my pc is a 2.26MHz with 768RAM, and i want to get a new video card...

now which one should i get so that i would get a good FPS (espc. with the new NL2000 scenery out)

i thought of a 'Creative Radeon 9600 256 mb'
would this be a good choice? i want to have one around 300$ not mutch more, anyone got suggestions?

let me know asap please! cheers

the ATI 9800pro cost around 210 euro and is much faster in al games. But fsims like fs2004 is no game, so probable it isnt much faster then the 9600

so which one would you suggest for good FPS??

cheers

I just bought the Sapphire 9800pro 128mb. Excellent card! Only one downpoint: the heat it produces, in combination with my 3.0GHz pentium proc. I have now opened the cover of my pc, and a table-fan is blowing fresh air in the housing.

Minimum framerates on NL2000 with almost all sliders far-right, resolution 1152x864 32bit at EHAM with lots of AI is about 6,5 to 7 fps, no matter which aircraft (wheter a meljet 777 of a standard cessna)
