How much card do I need for MS FlightSim2004??

[daddywags214]

I preordered this game, and the specs of the computer we end up ordering will affect our choice of video cards. I know all my specs, but I just don't know how much power I'll need for high-res (@ least 1280x1024) + max settings + some AA/AF, running at >30-40 fps, or if I'll be able to at all. Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Dude man get either the 9700 pro or 9800 pro for those settings.

Thanks for the quick response. My plans were to get a 9800pro, as I knew I'd have no problems with FS2k4 with it, but I wanted to explore my budget options in case I were to find myself unable to buy a 9800pro. So no lower than 9700pro? What about 9800 nonpro? Same clocks as 9700p, with a few marginal upgrades, right?
