[DatGuyZA 0]

Hey All,I have the opportunity to get my hands on the above mention card second hand, and would like to hear your opinion on if it would make a sense to go for it?My current rig is as follows:CPU - QX9650 @ 3 GHz (not overclocked)RAM - 8gig DDR3 1600MhzMB - EVGA 790i Ultra SLIPS - 1000WGPU - Geforce 9800GTX+Do you reckon that the 560 TI would be worthwhile in my rig?ThanksRegardsRobert

It would probably bottleneck. I wouldn't do it. Your computer is fast enough as it is for flight sim.

There's will be some difference - how much in FSX I'm not exactly sure. In a GPU limited game, a 560 will blow away the 9800 - 2 to 3 times the performance with better image quality easily.

I got a huge performance boost after I upgraded my system with a GTX560ti, but only after a re- format to the system just like Ryan said in another post.

Now start saving up for a new cpu, mb, and memory for some real speed!

Hi Rob,please write your impressions after buying.I have the same rig and the same perspectives of upgrade. Basicly I happy with performance. Would be very interesting to know does it worth to spend money especially in terms of FSX?
