With my 9500GT card, all the settings set to low, and only shadows and road active, and screen set to a 1024x768 window, I flew for 23 minutes and change then the sim froze up, with a couple of partial video losses just before the freeze. So, today, I bit the bullet and dropped $465.00 for an Nvidia GTX 580 ($400) and an 850-watt power supply ($65). I figure this ought to do the trick!

Welcome to the world of perfection!! This game is a totally different experience on maxed out settings which shouldn't be a problem with your new card.

RAM is cheap these days and Q9550 is overclockable so why not get 4 more ram and OC a bit?
Btw what's your monitors native res?

1680x1050. I'm pretty much a newbie at the whole OC thing.

Best is to run game at native res. Sharpest and clearest. If you need more frames (fps) then lowering res (in game) will solve that for you.

Rgr at OC. Well, if u need more frames in the future then you know u got some more right there.

Sounds good! I should have the new parts here in a day or two.
