Saying FLight sim is enough if you mean FLight sim X then neither will get you to being able to run it on low.
Its been said if you can run flight sim X you can run every other game out.
So none will get you to play Flight Sim.
the 7300 is better then the 950 but they both suck and would strongly recommend a bit of an upgrade GTA though would run heck i ran VC on medium on an old Pentium 3 with 32mb built in Intel 82815 so you will run SA but no games liek FS X but you can run the FLight Sim 2004 a century of flight whihc is still good but look into upgrading.

hmm well thanks for the help then i will go for the laptop with the nividia g-card (unforchetly its dell so it will stop working after a year or so).
with flight sim x (the latest version?) i ran it perfectly on my computer which only had a nividia 5200 :O which is pritty much ancient!
but the game ran perfectly! so it should run better on my laptop.

i have also heard that processor speeeds can help grapics acelleration thurther, on my old computer which flight sim x ran perfectly on i had nvidia 5200 , 3.2 ghz intel processor (single core) and 512 mb of ram.

on my new lapop:
the spec is at: http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore...sftdhpnotebook1

and its better then my old computer so it should run even better :D

thanks for help :D

Either you ran it on low or you ran the demo version which is much less demanding cause i have tried it on a 9600XT and that struggled to ruin it on Near medium.

i ran he full version on my nvidia 5200!
of course the grapics went the best but it was playable and the grapics were 'normal like' to me. they didnt look bad ect, i had some trouble running cod2 (with shadoe issues ect) but there wernt any issues with my 5200. my laptop will have a better grapics card anyways :) and evenchally ill get a top of the range grapics card for a desktop pc.

If you couldnt run COD 2 on Absolutely all settings High then I doubt it was Flight simulator X I think you might have played FS: A century of Flight which is the one prior to X and still looks good i'd say that one has normal graphics.


COD 2 on high.


Thats FS:X


That is FS:ACOF which i think might be the one you played.
