February 19, 201214 yr How much FPS gain would I get upgrading an AMD ATI 6870 to a GTX 560 TI, CPU is i7 2600k OC 3.9 GHZ? Will 525W be enough? What brand of 560 should I get (EVGA, ASUS, ZOTAC, etc.)?ThanksI do stuff other than FSX on this computer (like Portal 2) Edited February 19, 201214 yr by MRkid Because I'm a POTATO!

In general, the 560TI is a good bit more powerful than the 6870.525W is enough but, I'd recommend that you go for a Corsair TX750W PSU.In FSX, the performance jump also will be quite high. You will notice much higher framerate when flying in the clouds.
