I'd like to get anyone's performance feedback on how the new ATI 800XT 256MB
video card improved FS2004 performance? (if it did) -- assuming same
CPU/motherboard etc. (i.e. only change being the graphics card).

Many thanks, Rob.

It depends on what you are moving from. If you have a 9800 Pro I
don't think you will "get your money's worth" but if you are moving
from an older GForce4 or something similar you will notice a HUGE
difference. When I went from a GForce4 to a 9600XT there was a fairly
small speed gain but a HUGE jump in picture quality!!! Well worth the
money.
