Hello,I keep hearing that FSX is a CPU driven game. So my question, Is the Nvidia 9800 an outdated video card?I am currently running a Q6700 quad core CPU and I am only achieving 6-7FPS while departing KSEA, KDEN. I can achieve 30 FPS while GA flying around KSEA/WA state.Suggestions, Thoughts?

I have a 9800 and believe it is indeed outdated. I also have a 560TI which runs rings around the 9800 when running FSX.

Hi all,I have a 512mb 9800GTX+ ( not sure how much better it is than a 9800GT ) but with my i5 2500k overclocked to 4.7ghz I see around 25-30 fps at EGLL/EDDF areosoft mega airports with most sliders to the right, I am only using a 19in screen @ 1280x1024,I am think of upgradeing to a 550ti/560ti but am not sure what improvment I will see.Mark
