Just ordered a AFP and I will need a new video card. What is the least expensive videocard I can get that will give me decent performance.

Current System:
Intel Celeron 800mhz
256MB RAM
80 GB 7200RMP HD
Onboard Intel Graphics.
Windows XP

I realize that this system is not ideal, but I am willing to cutoff the "graphic enhancements" (textures, smoke, etc) to get smooth operation.
I will even be willing to change operating system to windows 2000 if necessary, to obtain smooth operation.

Any ATI 9000 series card has worked the best so far I believe.

GeForce4 works great.

GeForce 4

Would Any of these video cards do?

Radeon 7000 64MB http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...000&CatId=1088
Radeon 9200SE 64MB http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...202&CatId=1088
Radeon 9200SE 128MB http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...200&CatId=1089

Thanks,

Mack

I'd go with the 9200 128!

Dont take the SE version though. Take the 9200 or the 9200 PRO with 128MB.

9200s are 8500s with a new name. 8500s are just fine especally if you overclock them. If you wanna jump up, 9500Pro or what i have, 9800Pro

Any Geforce 3 or better would fine. Geforce 2 might be fine also. I've seen AFP on a TNT2 and it looked ok. This really isn't a demanding sim as far as the video card goes. I use a Ti4200 and this sim doesn't push it at all.

Recommended Graphic cards

Nvidia GeForce2 Ti/Ultra/Pro/MX 400/256
Nvidia GeForce3 and GeForce 4
Nvidia GeForce FX
ATI Radeon series (especially ATI 9700, 9800)

The following cards are NOT recommend for use with AeroFly Professional

Nvidia GeForce2 MX 200 (even the 64MB cards are not worth their money, these cards are even slower than the older Nvidia TNT2)
Nvidia Riva128
ATI XPert
ATI All In Wonder
ATI Rage
3dfx Voodoo1, Voodoo2, Voodoo3, Banshee (company is no longer in business!)

Any card above 50$ will be good in my opinion..

Ive played the game on a Geforce 2 MX400 with 32MB with pretty good fps.
