Postby chris3090 » Fri Nov 14, 2008 1:10 pm

Just saying now thks for all the help with the destructive recovery runs great now :D... But im going to Purchase a new computer since just yesterday i won $700 off a $10 scratcher ticket so i went to ibuypower.com and found one i think will be ok for decent fsx play.. ive always used ati and have never had a problem but im not to sure if i want to switch to nvidia or not... Either way im goin to put 2 graphic cards in it but i wanted some advice on what to get Nvidia or Stick with ati's x2 cards and try to get 2 of those in a comp if u can got around $1500 to spend as of yesterday....

I've started to lose faith in ATI a bit, and while I don't use FSX, I hear Nvidia is the way to go for that.

I am going with ATi with my new system... mainly because the 4850s are really good bang for buck... and if you chuck 2 in there u can just about match a 280GT While playing hi load games ;)

I go with Nvidia. They make great cards but a bit slow on the drivers. I hear they are getting better at all aspects. I have only had experience with the 8800 series and I think they are the best of all of Nvidia's cards.  ;)

I almost did until they came out with the Agp 3850 wich worked great for my old comp... but i think its time to branch out to something that seems tried and tested... the 8800 gtx
