Has anyone yet tried one of the new factory overclocked "Point of View TGT GeForce GTX 480 Ultra Charged" cards(built from selected chips by the legendary tuning expert Hans Wolfram Tismer) for FSX? Its GPU/Memory frequenciesare set to 760/3800 Mhz. Point of View TGT GTX 480 Ultra ChargedPoint of View POV TGT Series at FudzillaI'll probably buy one in a few weeks to replace my HD 5870.

HelloIs this the Hans Wolfram Tismer who was formerly the European Managing Director of Gainward thenafter being ousted from there co-founded eVGA.In my opinion Hans knows diddly squat about "tuning" video cards but knows very well how to bring a brand to prominance.Don't bet against Point Of View becoming the number one choice for Nvidia cards

Yes it is this very "H. W. Tismer", the former marketing director of the European branch of Hercules (before its take-over by Guillemot).

I just bought this:http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclocked-PCI-Express-Graphics-015-P3-1482-AR/dp/B003EEMFWU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1282667532&sr=8-2with the new hi flow brackethttp://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=M020-00-000171&family=Accessories - Hardware&sw=4and it easily overclocked to 826/4200.Don't waste your money. BTW, the newer EVGA480's are shipping with the new bracket but check to be sure.Vic

Get a Zotac Amp GTX 480, 756MHz core and the same 3800MHz memory plus you get a much better after market cooler already installed, this is what I went with.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500166

Aftermarket hype and it uses 3 slots - still better off with the EVGA and clock it - temps are better.

Don't bother it performs similarly to the GTX470 and even 460 for 230$It's a waste of money.

Maybe for someone not using high screen res, much filtering or many complex add-ons, Other than that any investment in a new card to run FSX should be a 480GTX or at a minimum a 470. The differences is easy to discern especially in that the average FPS much higher which really smoothes things out and under high load situations (do you want that nice new add-on scenery/Aircraft to run smooth?) won't lag under the load like a 280/285/460/465GTX

The GTX460 is nearly identical to the 470 in FSX, why are you saying it makes such a big difference! I could understand for some other game but spending 500$ right now is completly unessesary.

I'm sorry that you can't see the difference but what you say is Not correct, it is like your saying a 250 is nearly identical to a 285GTX.A 460 is nearly identical to a 285GTX in FSX but certainly not a 480 and not even a 470.
