graphics card issue's... compatability question

Postby motostu93 » Fri May 01, 2009 4:46 pm

so i got fsx gold(deluxe and acceleration) and i installed both games and then when i tried to play fsx, a screen poped up that said you graphics card is not compatable with this game. it gave me 2 example of recomended cards. the first one was a geforce3 and a Radeon 8500. i have a integrated vid card right now in my dell. im guess thats the problem its only 200gb and it doesnt support direct x 10 which is what acceleration uses(right?). from what i can remeber i was told that if i got a regular graphics card that i would need to get a new power supply. i know some about computers but not a whole lot and was just wondering what my possible options are?

i looked aroun d on newegg.com and found this card and this power supply.

will these work? and is the card good enough to play fsx gold on the highest quality. i have 2 gigs of ram on vista, with a dual core proccessor running at 2.20 ghz

thanks for any help ;) :)
