Video Card Question

[gdavis101]

GeForce FX 5600 AGP 256MB DDR w/ TV-Out & DVI

What does anyone think of this card? I am looking too upgrade, but I don't want too spend 500 bucks...

Thanks

Hi,

I bought this card very recently. Initially I had problems with all flight simulators locking up. I eventually traced this to a setting in the BIOS. I solved this by enabling AGP fast write in the BIOS. I do not pretend to understand this but I got the information from guru3d.com and it worked. Apparently it is a problem with the motherboard I was using and not many people have had this problem. I like the card as it was reasonably cheap (£120 Approx $206) and the graphics are great. For the price I would reccomend this. I have a very low end system and FS9 works ok. Hope this is some help.
