Excellent! Can't wait to see the results! Start a new thread for that one, if you don't mind.

Wicked man.If I can find one of these in Thailand, I'm buyin it. Too bad the antec case I've got blows for Watercooling... Luckily I've shoved about 12 extra fans into the case. HahaWith this and the 480 coming out soon, looks like a lot of flight simmers will be blowing their retirement savings in the coming month.

crashmax , I wanna kiss you . I waiting.

Hope you are a pretty woman

I just wanted to add that I did order and tested Vapor X 5870 and I was not impressed at all. I did not like the quality at all. VSync did not work and the best quality dropped the fps to a slide show setting. I'll wait for an nvidia 480 1-2 gig card

The following mask i have tested:Last 5 cores = 62 dec or 00111110 bin6 core = 63 dec or 00111111 bin12 core = 4095 dec or 111111111111 binThe best one is 63. If you run other Tools for FSX on the same PC than 62 may be better.

OK Crashmax, time is up! Ready or not, here I come!You have had your 480 GTX for more than 24 hours now and mine won't be here until at least tomorrow, so your reports are overdue. So...What do you think about it?How well does it work with FSX?How would you compare it to previous cards?Are you happy, ambivalent or disappointed with it?What is the performance like maxed out with *******' texture fix and other common tweaks?Talk to us...with privledge comes responsibility :(!Stephen
