Alright, after 2 months of waiting i have finally managed to upgrade my PSU to 500W and install my new 8600GTS (512mb)

here are some shots (Fraps was running to give a better picture of the frame rates)


BEFORE- Ati Radeon X1650 (512mb):





AFTER- nVidia GeForce XV 8600GTS (512mb):







BONZA! looks like it was a worthwhile upgrade by some means!



horah. i be happy


please tell me what you think, of the shots preferably  ;D

cheers

great looking shots 8-) (nVidia of course) nVidia all the way...i have the 7950GT OC plus its clocked even more and am very happy with its results...keep up the great looking shots. 8-)

What's your processor?  I've got an 8600M GT (M for mobile) and I get better frames than that  :P

1.7Ghz dual core intel thing... im not really sure

i plan to save another lot and go quad core some time, but the processor is quite weak for me

and thanks firemonte. nvidia ftw hehe


edit: 1.86Ghz dual core intel 6320 processor

Are you using FSX or fs9? I wonder because in fs9 I also get better frame rates with a 8800gts 320mb. Oh and a Pentium D 3.00ghz (2cpus).

I must say it does look great in those shots. Specially the sky. Cool shots and congrats on the great improvement.

FS9 on max setting for everything... and set as max on my graphics card too

and thanks.  ;)

I just built something I like to call FRANKENPUTER... see the specs in my sig block...  I will be posting some shots once I get all my stuff here (I'm in the military and just got to Fort Hood TX from Germany.).  I'll be hooking it all up to a 42" plasma monitor for effect...  muwahahahahaha!!!  The Twin 8600GTs I'm running in SLI mode does wonders for graphics... especially in FSX...  no lag, no stalling, just smooth sailing...  once I get my stuff tomorrow and I get my flight controls (thrustmaster hotas cougar), and get FRAPS installed on this comp, I'll get together some shots and post a few here.  I'm eager to see what she'll do!  I plan on eventually going with twin 8800s.....

Gotta Love NVIDIA!
