Which 8800?

highlydebased · 2008-04-06 13:24:29

Theres so many different models of the Nvidia 8800, its hard to tell which is which. I ahve a 8400gs 256mb at the moment, but want to upgrade. I only use Flight Simulator 9, but I use lots of payware scenry and aircraft and I only get 15fps max with same. Any recommendations?

Depends on your budget

9600gt is great value

But you could get a new 8800gts 512mb or a 9800gtx for around 250 euro
