June 25, 201114 yr Author A follow up....I just cranked up FSX with the new 460 installed and was floored when I saw it had set everything on ultra-high (let FSX build a new cfg). Did a flight and was floored again by smooth frame rates in clouds (first time in years). I think I just became an Nvidia Fanboi. Thanks all for your input.Cheers,Todd Formerly Coneman - 900+ ___________________________________________________________ If one ignores the lack of undercarriage, it's actually quite a nice landing.

As for ATI - they make great GPU's but just not for FSX IMO. Maybe that will change with MS Flight.Cheersjja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist
June 28, 201114 yr Author I have one more question, do I need to install DX10/11 drivers? Will they overwrite DX9c? The card is working like a champ and don't want to bugger it up, but I did have a dialogue asking to install drivers (not specified which ones). I did install Nvidia 275.33.Thanks,Todd Formerly Coneman - 900+ ___________________________________________________________ If one ignores the lack of undercarriage, it's actually quite a nice landing.

I play Crysis 2, they just released a patch for it in DX11 but my card will play in DX9 or 10, to play DX11 your card as to be built for it and yours is.

June 28, 201114 yr Author Okay, thanks guys. The OS will be the next thing I upgrade, just not right now. :smile:Cheers,Todd Formerly Coneman - 900+ ___________________________________________________________ If one ignores the lack of undercarriage, it's actually quite a nice landing.
