which Video card do you use?
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2003 12:02 pmGuys, vote and also post a message on which card you think is the best and trouble free. And doesn't leave you starving and homeless for a year. :)

Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2003 3:16 pmHi Silver, well I upgraded from an MX2 to a Ti4600 a while back, I'd been flying FS2k2 and CFS3. All I can say is that it was worth every penny I spent!!! And they have recently come down in price as well. So if you can find one at a reasonable price you should be able to max-out all the sliders and run fantastic resolution without any stuttering in 2k2!!!!

Re: which Video card do you use?
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2003 5:58 pmAfter hours and hours of reading forums and reviews I recently bought a Gainward GeForce FX5600 128 Mb.
I didn't buy it because of what I read - there's just too many opinions and differences in setup.
In the end I just picked the one that fitted my budget best...
Don't regret it though. Works great in both FS2k2 and FS2004 without any problem or hickup.
Cheers
AJ

Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2003 11:12 amIf there's any advice - Don't get a 64 mb Geforce 4 mx 440!!
I have an FX5600 128mb which I got a coulple of weeks ago. Its a million times better then that GF4 MX440 it replaced.

I agree on that one. My FX5600 replaced a mx440 as well and it more then doubles framerates.

Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2003 11:19 pmits was just a suggestion 
its the only thing i used so far. personaly i think it depends on your money and whether or not your computer can handle it. i have no idea on a price range of a 128MB
i had to go cheap, and what was stocked.

Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2003 5:51 amHi Triple_7,
An MX440 64 Mb would cost around 50 euro around here, so about 45 US dollars. My FX5600 cost me 140 euro - which is about 120 US dollars I guess - almost triple the cost of a MX440 64 Mb.
You're right pointing out that it all depends on your budget and system specs. And personal opinions, which makes it very hard to choose a videocard...

Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2003 12:32 pmi have a GeForce FX 5600 256mb. the only other card other than a GeForce that I have seen is an ATI 9600 128mb and I think my FX 5600 is better than the ATI. It runs FS2002 very well, and hasn't let me down yet.

Posted: Sat Nov 29, 2003 2:52 amWow, Rifleman, I'm jealous. I have the 128mb version of the GeForce 4 MX 440 (with P4 2.67 GB and 1 GB ram). On my machine, the aircraft would be jagged, the hills jagged to almost unrecognizable, and the terminal fuzzy....and I've tried every combination of settings. Guess I'll have another go at those settings...all the best.
