New Video Card

Post by BadPvtDan »

I just got in an 8800 GTS w/320 MB. I am very excited to see how this changes the FS9 landscape!

Dan,
Just poking some fun at ya...

Seriously, let us know how that new vid card works out.
I'm just about to get a new toaster and am thinking about having it built but haven't decided on a card yet.

I was poking fun right back at ya! Damn forum just doesn't show my deadpan expression.

Well, I got it in last night and on a game like LOTRO...it really works wonders. FS9...I felt like I was still getting the same fps at a place like DFW...dropping down to 9-10. Now, I do have about a zillion airlines, KDFW scenery, UT, GE and a host of other things...but I ws pretty disappointed. Also, loadup time for FS9 seemed to take longer.

I did update my driver last night so that could make a difference.
