    New Vid Card

    Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim (More info?) What types of games do you play? A general feeling is that for OGL, NVIDIA has the uper hand and ATIs OGL drivers are not all that great. For D3D, the opposite is true. Either way, you are looking high enough on the food...
