I don't know much about computers but i picked up this graphics card at my local exchange today for $120.00
Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT 512 MBI'm hoping to be able to run FSX with it! I currently have a Nvidia GeForce 7300 LE.
hopefully i did the right thing??
Is this graphics card any good?

I have a Dell E520 With...
Vista Home Premium
Intel Core 2 6400 @ 2.13 ghz
3070 MB Ram
Nvidia geForce 7300 LE 128 MB
I currently have fs9 settings maxed out with abou 20-25 fps, and can almost run fsx, its a bit choppy but still workable.
i guess what i meant to ask is will this new card let me run fsx a bit more smoothly? I havn't installed the 8500GT yet, as i have no idea what i'm doing and gonna let a friend work on it.

Have you had a look at http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/02/04/ ... page7.html
It's about 1/2 down the list. Means it only half as good as the best one's in the top section. You can try and find a review on the card in the archive.
