I'm trying to choose between these 460 cards and wonder which would be best for FSX:Gainward GeForce GTX 460 GLH 1024MB- Core Clock: 800Mhz- Memory: 1024MB GDDR5- Memory Clock: 4000MHz (Effective)- Memory Interface: 256-Bit- Processing Cores: 336- Shader Clock: 1600MHzGainward GeForce GTX 460 GS 2048MB- Core Clock: 700Mhz- Memory: 2048MB GDDR5- Memory Clock: 3600MHz (Effective)- Memory Interface: 256-Bit- Processing Cores: 336- Shader Clock: 1400MHzI have a vague recollection of Phil Taylor stating that for FSX you should get as much RAM as possible - but can't find the reference.Any help in choosing will be much appreciated.

I'd say the first one, I have a GTX 470 and FSX never uses more than 50% of my 1.2GB memory, so it's pretty useless.

I'd say the least expensive one, both will do the trick. I have a 460@715mhz with 1MB ram and I've never seen FSX use more than 70% of the capacity of the card even in the cloudiest weather while flying the J41, and my CPU is OC'd to 4.0ghz.Jim V

+1 same advice as what I think

But if you have a three-screen setup, wouldn´t the 2GB version be better?

I can't comment on that as I have no idea. But in theory, the 2 monitors would use more GPU RAM so maybe it would be closer to eating the whole 1.2Gb but I still think it would be enough.

K, thx. Think I'll pioneer it later this year, then ;-)

2 460s in SLI is a no brainer for multiple screens.  These things do one thing well and thats handle realtime video.It is not hard to imagine that FSX could be used in Hollywood productions.Cheersjja

Oh, 3 monitors then of course I agree with jja you need at least 2 cards for 3 monitors and get two 1.2Gb ones.
