HI, I am looking for some help from people who are running geForce cards.
My current system is Pentium 4D with HT - 3.0ghz , 2gb ram, couple of sata drives and a geforce 6600gt 128mb video card. This system is 95% for IL2 only, only occasionally doubling as a BF2 server.
Anyhow, I have available to me several video cards and I wanted to get ideas, opinions, etc on how they perform.
The cards are all 256mb geforce, but they vary from a 7800gt, 7900gt, 7950gt and an 8600gt. This system is XP with SP3, with no big idea to change to Vista in the pipeline. My biggest question is, is the 8600 as good as the 7800 / 7900 / 7950 cards. Charts and graph's are not conclusive enough as there seems to be some differing items from the 7's to the 8's. So I figure, ask those who use the flight sim what they get and the settings etc. I know they are all better than the 6600gt though. Also is it better to have more video ram for IL2??
