Graphic card decision

[tkbear2 0]

Hello to All,I bought a brand new HP quad core q8300 system with 8Mb memory, 750 G hard drive. I do not like the graphic card that came with it. it is that intel integrated graphics card 512 mb. I tried fsx with it and I get a really low frame rate and lots of stuttering and I do not have everything maxed out.

Feedback around here on the Nvidia 200 series is generally very good. I've heard good things about the 250GTS or 260GTX. I personally use a 275GTX. I want to say it's an over kill but then some 285 owners will tell me that I'm wrong. :) Pick one that fits your budget and you'll like it. Make sure you have a PCI express 16 slot on your motherboard first.
