Upgrade 7800GS 256M to 7950GT 512M - worth it?
I have an older agp only machine with AMD 2600+ / 2G ram /266FSB /500W
supply I need more graphics processing for FSX. Would this 7800GS / 256M -to-7950gt /512M give me any noticeable improvement? TIA Charlie |

TIA Charlie FSX's performance scales better with CPU improvement rather than GPU improvement. That said, the GPU improvement you mention may allow for a higher level of FSAA and ANISO filtering in FSX in your current configuration at the same FPS you currently enjoy. It may not. |

You'll see a small gain, but the money would be better spent on a major CPU/mainboard, PCI-e and RAM upgrade. Unfortunately, it costs more but is FSX is your primary entertainment it's the way to go. |
