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.

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?
