Greetings:
I'm considering upgrading my video card and would like some suggestions from everybody. I currently have a 16meg TNT2 Nivida card. Which runs FS2k2 fairly well, but it takes some time to draw the landscape and planes when I switch to spotplane or Tower view. Also sometimes it runs choppy when I max out the graphics. My computer specs are, Athlon 800, 384megs, and a 70gig hard drive. Thanx in advance.

Get a GeForce3 (64Mb). Personally, I have a GeForce2 (64Mb) and I love it, but I think I might get a 3 because I've heard excellent things about them.

Games actually don't have limitations on how much video card memory they use. The VRAM is there to free up regular RAM, so the more VRAM the better, no matter what game you are playing.

Picked up my new video card today and installed it. I went with a VisionTek from Best Buy with the Geforce 2 400mx with 64 megs. What a difference it made with FS2k2! It draws the landscape and plane instantly. Plus is has a S-Video and RCA video out. Thanx to everybody for the advice.

Your card runs quite well with the FS2K2.
I;m a computer seller as well as put in toghter computer's parts.
I would recommend you to upgrade your processor. the view transition issue you mention is tipically a slowness of the processor not of the video card.

Personally, I'd go with the ATI Raedon 8500 64MB AGP card, great piece of hardware, but ATI tends to release shitty drivers.

Port,
In order for ATI to "tend" to release ***** drivers. They would have to at some point realease non ***** drivers
ATI driver support has sucked ever scince the RagePro back in the mid 90's
Tbird,
You should have waited about 2 weeks for all the stores to get in there Gforce 4's you could have gotten a Gforce 3 ti200 for the same price as you paided for the MX 400 (I about 100 bucks)
