July 20, 201015 yr Taking into account how much FSX can benefit from extra videoram, does anybody have any experience with the ATI 5870 2GB offering?I am interested in seeing how FSX would perform with one of these compared to the GTX 480 at 1.5GB.Anybody know or have any links?Thanks!

I don't know but you could search the forums for ATI using and get a good idea as to what to expect from that card.You could also search for the *******' related posts because there could be some useful information in them.
July 23, 201015 yr Ark, I had same thoughts like you, but I red somewhere that FSX won't benefit of this more VRAM due to some internal FSX restrictions. So I decided for the standard model (1GB) :( hope this helps, but maybe someone else can give u more details.
