6600GT 128 UP to a 7600GT 256 ???
Hi guys
I have $50 in Amazon money and while looking for a cheap solution to replace the old Geforce 2 card with, I found a XFX 7600GT 256 AGP card for $106.00 after rebate, meaning Ive paid $56.00 for it.
My FS server machine:
AMD 2800xp (1.8Ghz) but clocks like a 2.8
1 Gig RAM
6600GT 128 video
XP
This system runs FS9 pretty darn good except in really busy areas like FlyTampa airprts, but still not bad in decent weather. ALSO, it runs FSX really well in remote locations away from lots of heave traffic.
Do you think that since I am focusing in my building the sim rather than the PC, that this would be a good last-time AGP investment since I now will probably wait till after MS ports FSX over to DX10?
I read some reviews stating that, while not stellar, the upgrade from others with the same two cards had good results. However, when you compare the two's specs, there's not much difference other than add. 128MB of RAM.
So, worth $106.00???
Thanks!
And BTW, this will allow me to move the 6600GT over to the machine that was just given to me for the PMRJ FO Side that is having video issues now!
