Upgrading Graphics card?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am looking to upgrade my graphics card to use with FSX and many other games too. My system currently has an Nvidia GTX295 which is a dual GPU card and I have heard that FSX does not work well with a Dual GPU card ??

Now my system is not that up to date and will bottleneck the CPU if I go for say a GTX670 or higher.

I was looking at a 3gig GTX660ti and wondered what your views on this are.

My CPU is an Intel 2.5ghz Core 2 Quad Q9650 overclocked to a stable 3.4ghz

8 gig of DDR3 1333mhz ram.

I get reasonable frame rates at the moment which do tent to drop quite low when in detailed airports or using Airbus X etc..

So what are your opinions regarding my plans on updating.
