hi guys i have recently purchased a nVidia 6600 gigabyte card and am wondering if the new card will make a bigger diference when running fsx as opposed to my current card that is a ATI RADEON X300se so any help or advice would be welcomed

Depends on which version of the 6600 you have... and what sort of CPU you have... how much RAM etc.

FSX is a complex beast, and there is no simple 'change one component' solution to getting it running like FS9 does now

whilst a 6600 will be an improvement over x300, i doubt whether it'll be significant enough.
I assume you've got a PCIe slot, and not an AGP slot

yes i have pcie slots and dual channel ram p4 cpu 3 ghz ,3.0 ghz 2 gig ram with hyper threading 7.1 channel sound card usb 2 x 6 and is the 6600 le model

kinda pointless, but word has it you can turn a 6200 into a 6600?

is that possible

by **brownbox** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 6:13 am

ah yes it can, but sorry, only the AGP version

that sounds interesting i have spent the last few days susing out how my old card comes out as the set up is far different to most pc s so with a bit of luck i should get it sorted

a 6600LE is a budget model. go for a 7600GS, it'll give quite a bit more speed.

ok thanks i might look at upgarging later on as i got the 6600 for $93 so i will have make do until i get some more funds to upgrade again but thanks for the advice
