| Nvidia GTX 480 launched | |
Dave Wave   27th Mar 2010 00:47:59 | OK, no benchmarks or reviews for FSX out yet but I suspect this is the best video card available for fsx. Worldwide launch was at 7pm tonight.
If you find any info on this card post it here please. I know it's a £500 card but launches like this make every other card cheaper and this is what will be mainstream in a years time. See here for impartial review. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-480,2585.html |
Mick McG   1st Apr 2010 11:13:43 | Dave, sadly I'm not going to get away with spending £500 on a graphics card but I could do with updating my current GeForce 9800GT which struggles with anything more than medium settings in FSX. I'd like to beef up my scenery and get much better frame rates than I do at present so as a bloke who knows about such things, what card would you recommend under say £200? I run Vista 32 bit with a Intel Core2 Quad CPU (Q6600@ 2.4 GHz) - No idea what any of that stuff means though :)

Nvidia GTX 260 around £150. However, I don't think this will have a massive effect in fsx as you'll then be bound by your processor and memory. If you play other pc games though it's probably worth it. I normally hold out on the upgrades and just buy a new pc every 2 years or so, that way you get a nicely balanced system and can still use your old one as a backup. You could also try overclocking your existing cpu and card. Details on how to do your gt9600 below. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/overclock-graphics-card,review-30739-3.html?xtmc=nvidia_9600_gt&xtcr=5 I should think your cpu would run at 2.8 GHz no problem on your standard cooler. |
