For Voodoo3 and below, the cockpit graphics were not very sharp, and dials difficult to read.

Hey, Flanker drivers using Voodoo3! There are numbers on the dials! I didn't know that, though I suspected it…

MiG Alley under Voodoo3 3000. Jagged and blurry.

MiG Alley with the Hercules card. Here, I think, is one of the clearest examples of the way the 32-bit color and extra VRAM cleans up an image.

I had heard that Falcon 4.0 looks awful under the GeForce chipset. Now, I'm not sure if the second-generation GTS chip in the Prophet II made a difference, but F4 under D3D looks great and performs incredibly. True, the interface screens look a little muddy with the GeForce II GTS card-, which is kind of weird-, but the sim itself looks great.
