Simviation Forums

I am the first to admit I dont have the highest powered system around and want to get the most bang for the buck i.e. fps.
My processor is only 1.3
my vidio card is a 64 meg
and I only have 126 ram

I am not happy with my frame rate especially when flying multiplayer. Would I be better off buying a 126 video card or...
buying a bunch more ram up to 512 or something.
The point I dont understand is what does the most work, the video card or the ram when it comes to fps?
thanks

errr                 GET RAM!!!!!!!!

FS9 uses about 300MB of ram itself, plus background applications, and the OS itself... Getting another vid card will get you framerates, but ram will get about a 150% increse of performance!

What do you mean better performance if you are not talking about fps?
My question was that I want better fps.......so should I be looking at video card or more ram?
thanks

The video card and the CPU do the work, the RAM provides working space.

You didn't say what 64mb video card you have, it may be adequate.

For FS9, (if that's what sim you have), Your PC is deficient
