Hi guys,
one of our dispatchers at work needs a new GPU in his computer. He only has an AGP slot and refuses to upgrade. He also doesn't want to shell out $300+ for the 7950GT in AGP. He says he is torn between the 7600GT 512MB version and the 7900GS 256MB card. (Does that even come in 512?)
His sole purpose for this card is to help drive Microsoft FLight Sim. I don't know what version he has, but he's running a LOT of added terrain and textures so I'm thinking he might benefit from the higher memory of the 7600GT, but the 7900GS seems a faster card in general (though I've only seen it compared to the 256MB 7600GT, not the 512MB one).
What are your thoughts? Right now he has a 5950 Ultra, 512MB I believe. Which would provide better performance for the Flight Sim?
