Dear All,Just wanted some factual advice... Going to build an I7 D0 and overclock to 4ghz+ and wanted to know what you guys out there have found to work best from a GPU perspective - seem's to be differing opinions... Appreciate FSX is CPU bound but if I'm overclocking it to the max does the GPU need to be any better than an 8800gts which seems to be the defacto max required generaly for FSX.. Happy to here advice on this....thanks!

You don't need a 295 and you wouldn't want a 275 so that leaves you with the 285 : ) A great card

Hi,I agree, as of today the 285 is in IMHO the best card for Flight Simulation.

Yeah you want a good GPU match for that overclock, like the GTX285Also don't forget a good cooler such ashttp://www.crazypc.com/products/PX50983.html

thanks! From what you are saying - the other cards don't cut it at that CPU clock spped?

Not really, the GTX295 is pretty much two cards in SLI configuration. And FSX doesnt like SLI in general. The 275 is a good card, but for FSX since you will clock that CPU to over 4+ you want to get the fastest GPU to go with your CPU, or should I say the fastest single GPU today.
