Hi All -Would appreciate thoughts on a GTX285 vs. GTX470 for FSX. The thing is they are actually priced about the same right now. Nominally you would think to go with the 470 in that regard of course, but with DX10 constrained FSX is it safer to go with the 285 from a driver standpoint etc. The real benefits for the 470 appear to be marginal from what I have read here and I do not need DX11 for anything else. Would I be better off with the 285 since it is optimized for DX10 only, etc.? It is curious to me that they are priced comparably.Thanks,Fred

 Just upgraded my GTX285 to a 460.  Best card on the market.  Why?  Because it is cool, quiet and OCs like a banshee.  My CPU can't keep up with it half the time @850 core.jja
