Hi, the 8800gt is better than the card you have, however, i would go for an 8800gtx, which is the best for FSX.

Dont expect the sim to change dramatically by upgrading cards.
It'll certainly run and look better, depending on your other hardware also.

eVGA 8800GT is great. But, the GTX and Ultra are so cheap now I would get one of them.

Think that was me, unless there's another one too. :-/

Hi there,

Just wondering why is the Nvidia 8800 GT and GTX better than a Nvidia 9500 ? Surely if the 9500 is a later model it should be better or should it ?

No it is not. Hardly any of the 9Series perform better than the 8800 (or at least GTX for that matter) in FSX but some of the 9's (though I am not familiar with all of them) especially the crazy expensive ones, perform a bit better but for way less the GTX and GT slaughter to 9's.

PS, I don't even think the 9500 512mb outruns the 8600GT or GTS...
My 8800GT 512mb at 1680 (22") runs all games pretty much maxed but my processor is bottleneckin me a bit.
