      Should be ok If not, you can get a ATi Radeon 9550 or a ATi Radeon 9800 Dirt Cheap!

        Hi,

        If the 9200SE is older than a 9600 card , you might have some performance issue. Download the demo and test it to make sure.

        Cheers.

        What are the minimum system requirements for PhoenixRC?
        Phoenix uses a highly optimised engine to try and provide great quality graphics and realistic physics on a wide range of computer systems. Currently we recommend the following as a minimum specification for running Phoenix:
        - Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista
        - 1.0 Ghz Pentium 3/4 or AMD Athlon/64 compatible processor
        - 256MB system memory (RAM)
        - 750MB free, uncompressed hard-disk space*
        - ATI Radeon 9600/NVidia Geforce Ti4200 with at least 128MB memory
        - Microsoft DirectX 9.0c or higher*
        - CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive for installation
        - 1 free USB 1.1/2.0 port
        - 100% DirectX 9 compatible sound card (optional)

            Hi.all well i got phoenix and it would not run as soon as the heli came on screen it just went black.The recomended ati is a 9800 with 64nb not 9600 with 128mb(according to my version 2.0 and they dont fit my system anyway as it is small form factor.Anyway i tried device maneger to find an update driver online and said not available so tried ati site )AMD) and found an updated display driver.downloaded inatalled it and everything runs sweet now.So the only advice i can give to anyone from this is DO NOT trust windows device manager for reliable upodating,Go find it yourself.Thanks to everyone for there input,i do very much appreciate it.

              Might be a little late but nonetheless you should always check your manufacturer for updates of your graphic card driver. I'm running phoenix smoothly using an ati x300 with only 64mb. Lol...
