Post by afqr2007 » Sun Apr 04, 2010 2:05 pm

hi all

Can anyone tell me if a 128MB ATi Radeon 9200 SE (9200SE) Graphics Card or GeForce4 MX440 64MB DDR 8X AGP Graphics Card are any good for flight simulator 2004 and all of its scenery add ons...

im asking because im wanting to upgrade my graphics card because in built up areas such as egll it stutters...or can anyone suggest any good graphics cards for me

at the moment i am using a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

Both those cards suck,it's old old technology and you won't see any improvement over the FX5200,
it would even get worse,I imagine.
I'd go and see if you can get a Nvidia GTX series card or better
or a Radeon 4xxx.

But don't forget the NVIDIA anti-alising problem. It still exists for years. Doesn't happen always but you don't know when it hits. If you fly commonly in VATSIM, having the SB3 windows inside your FS2004, you may have had some flights lost due to that.

I have flown on VATSIM for years,using a GF4200 card and now a GF6600 but I have never lost a flight due
to that problem.
