Will I Survive ...?

Postby Pilot_Alex » Fri Dec 22, 2006 11:52 am

I Still currently Playing FS9 but ..
I'm getting FSX For christmas , People have way way better video cards and i don't think mine will survive.
So i'm asking...

Will My RADEON X300 Survive FSX , i seriously need a video card , it's dieing on me the current one.
And if i do change which do suggest?

I Think a Radeon X9500 i think would be ok , but alot of money!

And don't think the parents will like the bill!

I killed an X800 with FS9 ....... so basically FSX will completely fryyour X300.

The Radeon 9500 is a terrible card. Look at the Gainward 7800GS+, or X1950pro.

I have FSX and it runs on medium settings on an ATI Radeon X850, with good framerates.  FSX WILL cook your X300 as eno said, and I know it will because FS9 cooked my X300.  Save some pennies and get a good graphics card when it comes out, or do what I am doing and start saving for a new computer, when Vista comes out.
