I swear by my 8800GTX card now i got rid of ATI....FSX is fluid and enhances everything bout my simming....

A true beauty....

Nvidia is the only way to go Glad you've finally given in Tony lol

Anybody with an 8 series card or new and the new drivers tried the physx demos? Some are very average, but the cloth one is superb!

Ben i had no end of problems with my ATI 3870 X 2 card....1 gig....it was pants mate.....waste of my money....specially when it fried....shop ordered a new one....but i went to computer Exchange and swopped it for a much cheaper 8800GTX.....wish i had done it before.....now i have ordered a 2nd 8800GTX to SLI them for future proofing and soon i will be getting a new MoBo.....P7N Diamond board....

After all these years i am converted and Nhancer is just pure icing on the cake fella....

Dave,

Frame Rates at the refresh rate of the screen should make absolutely anyone happy :flying:

Oh yes.. I concur with that 100% Peter Having one monitor or both 'dragged down' to 60fps is certainly no hardship

Sorry guys, I should have said that the refresh rate is the maximum frame rate you will see if using DVI.

I've had a good search, but can't find the site where I found the above info the above.

I regularly achieve 60 FPS in FS9, on the following system.

- Athlon 64 X2 6400 AM2 CPU with 2 x 512KB cache, 3.2GHz
- Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe nForce 5 Motherboard
- NVIDIA Geforce 8800GT 512MB PCI Express Graphics
- 2GB Gskill PC2-6400 DDR2 Memory
- Antec NSK4400 Case
- Enermax Liberty 500watt Power Supply
- NEC 16x Dual Layer DVD-RW(CD-RW, DVD+/-RW, DVD-RAM) with LabelFlash technology
- 320GB 7200 hard disk - Operating system
- 160GB 7200 hard disk - FS9 / FSX
- Sound Blaster Audigy
- Windows XP Home SP2

Its the clouds that really hurt it.

Just tried these with DeadSpace and FarCry 2. Cracking drivers, lots of speed and a little better IQ on my 9800GTX

Off topic... Deadspace, what a game! I've not been this scared playing a game since Doom3

[DaveB]

Tks for that Kevin ;-)

To be honest, I've no idea what I get in FS9 these days as it's at a point where I don't care. What I see is what I want to see and I can't ask for more ;-)

Thanks Kevin, might leave those drivers for now then.

Jonesy; saw an ad for Dead Space yesterday...gonna have to invest I think! Perfect for these dark winter nights!! :o

[jonesey2k]

I can honestly say that its one of the best games I've played in a while. And I'm including Crysis in that.
I've only been playing it in the dark with my 5.1 sound system cranked up to the max... it's terrifying!

[tonymadge]

not tried Deadspace but recently bought COD4 after seeing it on a PS3...wow so realistic, tell you what the FLIR footage as you circle in the C130 BLASTING BADIES IS PRETTY SPOT ON!!!

[jonesey2k]

Heh that is one of the more cooler levels. The introduction bit of Al-Assad was rather cool too. In fact the game is full of " phwoar! Class!" moments
Captain price ftw!
