December 4, 200817 yr My system specs are as below. I can run FSX ok without autogen and get very good frame rates (30-60) but with SP2 installed, panning around the cockpit is jerky. I'm guessing that an upgrade from my lowly nvidia 6800 would help. Has anyone any recommendations for a (mid-range priced) replacement card that would improve things? I think my PC has PC Express. The other thing is would the power supply be sufficient for a graphics card upgrade?ThanksFrog Intel I7-4770 3.4Ghz 16 Gb RAM nVidia GTX770 2Gb Windows 8.1 64 bit P3D 4.4/3.4 FSX SE

Still one of the best cards on the market for FSX, only being surpassed by its more expensive brethren at *extremely* high settings such as 2560x1600 resolution with 8x AA or higher. Hope this helps,Max
December 4, 200817 yr Just be sure the power supply can handle it....Hard to know sometimes with Dell, as far as what they put in their puters... | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
