You should be able to find a 6600 class card in this price range. I spent $109US including tax and shipping for a 6600 LE card with 256 meg of RAM in December. At 1600x1200 with everything turned on in 0.9.10 I get about 35 frames/sec sometimes more. So I am very happy with my results in FlightGear with this card at this point in time. In general I agree that you should get the best nVidia card you can afford. I had a 6200 card for a while and it only had about 1/3 the frame rate of the 6600 card with the same settings. The 6600 card does draw more power and generate more heat however. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
