Worth upgrading from a GTX 285 to a 470?

Featured Replies

Hey guys. I have a i5-750 @ 4.0ghz/4gb DDR2 and a GTX 285. Has anyone gone from a 285 to a for 470 and think the difference is worth it?

Not worth it for FS really. If you use other games and are interested in DX11 then it may be worth the price, however a performance increase would be marginal in most games. If you can get a good price for the 285 then it might be worth a punt, but don't expect a night and day difference.

Hi there,I received my gtx 480 today and replaced my old gtx 285 with it. I have to say it is louder than a 285 but it is worth it.FSX runs really smooth now!
