I have what most people using flight sims would call a very under powered video card, a Nvidea Geforce GT 730 2GB. A fairly old card by today’s standards. At least that’s my impression considering what I’ve read/watched. However it’s been more than adequate for the vast majority of what I do. I’m not a huge video game player. And honestly it’s been very acceptable to me. For example…
But is it? I say that because I find more enjoyment flying IFR than VFR. And that isn’t the normal training path. Lately I’ve been wondering if that’s because I can’t make out ground details because of the limitations of my graphics card. When flying IFR I usually am only aware that an airport is approaching because I know it’s approaching. It makes me wonder if my experience flying VFR would be totally different If I had a better graphics card.
