September 7, 201114 yr What I thought was a pretty good system (see my signature) has not been performing as well as I would have thought in FSX, and I think it's my ATI Radeon HD 6450 holding it back. However, I don't know which Graphics cards are compatible with my Dell XPS 8300. Does anybody know where I could find a list of compatible cards? Thanks,boeing247 -Bram Osterhout
September 7, 201114 yr Yep it should be the 6450 which may be holding the performance back. The 6450 is a HTPC card just meant to use on mid-level gaming. either you go for a 560Ti or a 6990. Hey even I use a HTPC 5450 card and it is holding back my performance. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
September 7, 201114 yr Being Dell, probably none. 1: PSU will be...trash. 2: case will be too small.

I could make a really lame joke about a 6990 holding the i7 back but I won't. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.
