Is the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 a decent upgrade for my current graphics card?
I want Fsx on full or nearly full settings

My current specs are;
Compaq Presario
AMD 64 Processor
3700+
2.19GHz, 1.00Gb of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6200SE TurboCache
Many Thanks

Nope, the 6800 is years old now and the bare minimum to run FSX. Your system won't run FSX anywhere near full sliders. For near full sliders you'll be looking at a brand new i7 system that has been overclocked.

Yes, sadly your system will be eaten alive by FSX Cry

I suggest you browse the hardware forum + stickies to get an idea what FSX requires.

My old nVidia 6800 128MB AGP Card ran FS 2004 perfectly...

...!

Recently upgraded to my nVidia 7800 GS 256MB AGP Card for even better "quality" and "smoothness" with FS 2004.... Kiss

...!

With my old AMD "Socket A" 2600+ (2.1GB) Processor, and 2.3 GB of Memory, my FS 2004 runs like a dream with everything "Maxed"... Smiley

...!

...but it would be a total waste of time and energy trying to run FSX!... Wink

Alexrogers;

To give you an idea... My system can play it maxed, but it runs at about 10FPS.

Mind you, I've done nothing to optimize the game further with tweaks and such.

3.2GHz Pentium D 940
3.5GB DDR2 PC-5300 RAM
Nvidia 9800GT 1GB DDR3 Overclocked from the factory

It runs great at nearly maxed, but once I push those sliders up a bit more, it drops considerably.
