November 1, 201015 yr Guys,I was wondering what is best for FSX? Two 460 cards in SLI mode....Or just go with one 480 Nividia Card ?Thanks,John
November 1, 201015 yr Commercial Member I'd get the single 480 if FSX is the only concern. FSX doesn't see all that much benefit from SLI because of its well known CPU-limited engine. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com

November 2, 201015 yr I use 2 x 460s SLI linked so that I can run 3 screens in wideview. I get a better resolution than with TH2Go, which I had used for a year or so. Also no blank strips at either side of the left and right screens when using the bezel adjustment. Multi-screening would be the only reason to go this route.Frank Regards Frank Jones
November 4, 201015 yr so it the 460's still quick enough for FSX? People with them like them?? My rig has a May 2008 build date on it, with a GeForce 9800GTX in it...I'm happy, but, I know with something newer in the GPU I will be happier. :) So, 460's look good in FSX?
