Any ideas on the video card I would need of coarse would like not to spend over 250-300 bucks on one is this duable any other adjustments or upgrades i need?

July 28, 200718 yr This chart lines them up for you: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_200...2=854&chart=292My recommendation is go 7900 anything if you want the best bang for buck, but no DX10 FSX + Vista combo upgrade path; 8600 GTS if you still want good value and a foot in the DX10 FSX + Vista combo door; or an 8800 anything if you want both feet in the DX10 FSX + Vista combo door. :-)BTW, no video card is going to tame complex airports with heaps of traffic and heavy weather.

July 28, 200718 yr Do you think my cpu is good enough? What can I do? I really would like to see atleast 20-25fps avarage. Do you see this possible with my cpu or please advice...
July 28, 200718 yr Time to wheel out the other ole favourite link, this one being for how CPUs stack against each other with FSX: http://www.behardware.com/articles/657-6/a...on-64-6000.htmlNote the linked review is FSX without SP1, so you can add 40% to the FPS you see here. As you can see, the 5600+ compares roughly with a C2D E6400, which is pretty good. The C2Ds really shine when you overclock them, like with mine I get another 65% performance by cranking mine up to 3.5GHz, but there is a bit of science and a lot of luck involved to get such results.Since you have just upgraded your CPU, you may as well give it a shot with a better video card first before you think of doing anything drastic on the CPU front.Gary 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
