Any advice on my Graphics options??

Postby Jab45 » Tue Oct 14, 2003 12:03 pm

Greetings fellow simmers,

I have just finished reading a group test of graphics cards in a recent edition of a compuetr magazine where the Editor's Choice was a Tyan Tacheon G9600 Pro.

I considered the Ati 9600 but decided to opt for the Nvidia 5600 chipset with no regrets!

The FX5600 Ultra's are quicker again, personally I'd not be too bothered about a 256MB 3D card frankly I think you just waste money, most games are optimized for a 64MB 3D card at most.

A friend of mine has more or less the same spec machine as mine (below), one differance is he has a 256MB GeForce FX, I see no obvious improvement with FS2002 with his 256mb card, and strangely, playing Battlefield 1942 he can't get smooth gameplay at the same game graphics settings as me!
