It's hard to tell.
Todays material will certainely no be enough for FSX, which is scheduled in at least 4 months.

I will choose in Decemeber. Only things I know for sure:
- Intel proc
- NVidia video
- Asus motherboard
The rest is detail...

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Put it like this... Direct X 10.... when X 10 comes out, graphics are suppost to change.... that will mean a whole new bread of cards, I know that the latest offerings from nvidia and ati will play fsx pretty well, but I would wait untill vista and fsx have been released and then see what hardware is available at the time, instead of buying before hand.
Kind Regards

You people have already forgot what M€$ admitted when FS9 went out in the shops three years ago, haven't you?

For those of short memory, way back then M€$ admitted that a PC powerful enough to make FS9 run smoothly did not yet at the time exist.

Do YOU really think that this time around things will be different? Lips Sealed

I'll probably do a major system upgrade at Easter 2007, once FS is out, and Vista is out, and DX10 graphics cards won't be as horrifically expensive!
