Will a 512Mb AGP Video Card Handle Flight Simulator X?

If so, then how high can i have the settings on it?

Reason asked is, my desktop has an AGP motherboard. And to get a PCI i'd have to upgrade motherboards.|||The ATI Radeon HD 3850 on AGP will play Flight Simulator X just fine with low to medium settings, depending on the monitor size.

This review:

http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/gamin…

gives the figure of 25+ frames per second at 1280x1024, with "Game AA, Game AF, Ultra Quality" settings (whatever those mean). Those figures should go up at lower settings.

I hope this helps. If you need more details, please add more details to this question, or feel free to email me through my Yahoo! Answers profile.

Good luck.



EDIT

If your budget is $400, try this:

- ASUS P5QL-CM motherboard = $90

- SAPPHIRE 100266HDMI Radeon HD 4830 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 = $125

- Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 = $170

Grand total = $385

Quad-core CPU, new motherboard with PCI-Express 2.0 x16 graphics slot and a very well thought of PCI-Express 2.0 x16 video card with 1 GB of RAM. If I had $400 to spend on a system, this is what I would buy.

Just a thought. Oh, all prices are from www.newegg.com|||You Seem To have AGp Slot ,It Can Handle MS Flight Simulator
