The eVGA 7900GTO is a nice card. However, it should be kept in mind that video cards from nVidia supporting DX10 are slated for release about mid-November 2006. It seems to get the most out of FSX, Vista (slated for January 2007 release) and a DX10 card will be the way to go. I mention this just in case you may prefer to wait (as many others are doing, BTW) because of the new products being released not too far down the road.

I'd be very surprised to see an AGP DX10 card. As for info on DX10 cards, this is about all that's around as yet:
