Its definitely not a nVidia adapter. Its a $10K US medical imaging PCI-X adapter using a chip from a company (number 9) that went out of business years ago. And you surely can not run flight simulator on it. And not at the native resolution of 2K x 2.5K in multimonitor mode... But the 2D directdraw is just as fast in W2k3 as it is in XP.


LOL I remember Number 9 when they were vying for fastest chipset back when Win95 OSR2 was the hottest WinOS in town...how times have changed. I use an ATI RAGE adapter which has only 8MB on my Win2k8 system now as it is at least partly compatible and can run Age of Empires II (if not MFS). Boards can be purchased that can get the graphics power that MFS requires, but they cost well over $1000.

BTW, for your nvidia adapter did you try the quadro drivers? That may work.


Nope, failed completely.
