More on Video Cards

[blahtripout]

Hi community,

Have a few questions regarding video cards, and an upgrade
that I intend to carry out. I'm doing the upgrade because I'm about
to recieve Beta 2 of Windows Vista, and FS9 will be one of the applications that I will be testing.

OK, my question is this:

With my current setup, I'm more than happy with FPS and overall looks, but with some payware scenery addons, I still have the dreaded shimmering.

I was going to move up from a Geforce6600GT to a Geforce7600GT, I've heard that the 7x range of cards get rid of shimmering. Is this true?

I've also considered Sli'ing the cards, will there be any benefit in doing this?

Thanks all.

Hi Jim,

Current system is:

AMD ATHLON64 3200 Venice Core
2Gb PC400 DDR RAM
1x160Gb Seagate SATA 2 Drive
DVD ROM Drive
Asus A8N Sli Premium Mobo
Asus Nvidia Geforce 6600GT with 256Mb DDR
Soprano Case, 450Watt PSU

Please note, that I intend to RAID the system with 2x80Gb Seagate 7200rpm drives for Vista. I also intend to up the CPU to a dual core once the proces drop.

Thanks

Andrew.
