Well I got plenty of money for xmas and just bought the eVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card for $400. It is DirectX10 compatable so this is what fsx needs. Any idea on how poweful this card is and expected frames for fs9 or fsx would be great.

Ian, when you get your new card installed write back here and let us know what FPS your getting in FSX. I'll be building a system similar to yours here in a few weeks.

The new drivers that contain DX10 codes are not out yet, so you won't be able to use DX10 until you run FSX on Vista and with the new drivers. I read this somewhere, but I don't remember.
But you should be getting around 100000 FPS with that card alone

lol @ 100,000 ..... I have been thinking of simply saving a lot of $$$ and just buying the GTX. Maybe with that I'll get somedecent FPS w/o replacing eveything.

At the moment I'm running 3.6Ghz P-4, Gigabyte Motherboard (older model), 2 GB's PC24200 RAM, ATI X850 256MB PCI-E.......a year ago I imagine my system being in the top 10-15%......but now....lol
I'll probably buy the GTX and throw it in just to see the difference. And then build a newer system just because. I like staying ontop of the latest computer tech. stuff.
