hehe, well, ordered it at least, something i should have done before is ask about my system, how would it work on :

3.4ghz, radeon 9200 512 meg ram ?

You probably would get a real good frame rate with that 9200 card, but it should work. As long as you can get a lest 20 fps it should work with out chopping.

Look at the Nvidia 6800 GT card. Outstanding performance. The BFG 6800 OC Ultra is coming down in price and that would be unreal performance.

20 FPS is not enough. The frame rate changes all the time, depending on scene complexity. Your eye sees 30 FPS or better as smooth. I'd recommend 50 FPS. Although you can't know this when buying a card.

I'm getting 150FPS, but on a different simulator, so I won't bother you with the details.

Tom's Hardware Guide (http://www.tomshardware.com/index.html) is an excellent resource for evaluating relative merits of graphics cards. That's where that picture above came from.

It should be fine Mike, my system is a P4 3Ghz, Radeon 9000 and Reflex works great for me. I don't notice any flickering except on the very highest resolutions x32, and to tell the truth I can't tell the difference in the texture between 1600x1200x16 and 2048x1536x32 so usually only run it at 1600. Framerates are about 100fps in window mode 1152x864x32, and it looks just as smooth in full window mode at the 1600 res. (though you can't see the framerate in full window)

I was fully prepared to get a new card if needed but am surprised and happy that I can put it off a bit longer, so bought a new plane instead. :D
