Hi All,
I'm no Einstein when it comes to graphics cards, so I could use some input:
I'm currently using FS9 (no add-ons) on winXP, running 5 monitors:
3 upper via TH2G on a 256 MB nVidia Geforce 7300LE
2 lower on a BFG Geforce 6200OC 256MB
PC: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, 2.13 GHz, 2GB ram
It all works well, but:
I'd like to install FSX, still on winXP, and some add-ons in the way of scenery,
but don't have power enough for that, so I'm shopping for a bigger PC.
I'm looking at a Core 2 E8500 3.16Ghz, 4GB ram.
with a nvidia geforce 8800GT 512MB card
MY QUESTION IS THIS:
I'm planning to take the 6200OC card from the old PC and add it to the new.
It's not the biggest, but it only has to run 2D cockpit panel and GPS on the lower monitors.
Does it matter for the performance of the primary card what the secondary card is?
If you have experience with FSX on a similar system to the one I'm looking at, I'd like to hear bout that as well.
