Bah!! once google chrome os is up and running you'll be binning the graphics card anyways :P ATI and Nvidia will be screwed.
Check out the video
http://code.google.com/apis/o3d/


That uses videocards for rendering, and honestly it looks like crap compared to a real game.

It's only a demo of the chrome browser, once chrome is out and up and running you will be able to play the latest games through your browser/operating system all maxed out on a crap pc. Read into it more mate ;) Imagine the space on your pc they'll be nothing on it, I like the sound of that. Music , photos, games, downloads

How inferior is ATi in MSFS? 'cause I gotta say, the Radeon 5870 kicks ass, and I'm gonna get one.



the 5870 is the first ATI card since the x800xt to come close in matching Nvidia

Its a good card for both FSX and other games that take advantage of

Thanks.

The 5870 is going into an i7 rig.

Also getting a 5850 for my 3.6ghz Q6600. Not ideal, but it will have to do (and not really for msfs anyway)

i7..   975 will clock to 4-4.2Ghz

950 4GHz no problem

920  3.8 to 4Ghz

any of the above will require a proper clocking heatsink

DDR3 1600 6-7-6-18  3x2GB memory

P6T Deluxe v2 motherboard


and a 295 is useless to FSX..   either the 285 or the ATi 5870, one of the two
