HeyI'm wondering if anyone would be able to recommend what graphics card to upgrade to. I'm currently running a radeon Hd 4850 which as we all know are reasonably old and was purchased two years ago, up until recently i've been able to manage fsx with it, however as such I'm looking to future proof or atleast have a graphics card worth keeping around for atleast a year or so. My budget would roughly be £90 but i don't mind justifying an extra £30 if needs be. Thanks

Two cards that fall into this price range are the nVidia GTX460 1GB and the Radeon HD6850 which are both decent for the money [£95 - £120]. I wouldn't like to say they will give any future proofing, nothing will at this price really.Here is a useful comparison site, where you can compare any two cards directly... no FSX bench though.http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/291?vs=313

You can also find comparison charts for nVidia cards here and AMD cards here.Note 1: The AMD 7750 and up sport PCIe 3 (2x the BW of PCIe 2), while the 7890 and up also sport a 384-bit wide memory bus.Note 2: AMD 7xxx card performance is still a bit of an unknown for FSX.Cheers,- jahman.

Hi Tandy,Welcome to AVSIM. Nvidia has the best FSX performance, if that is your video card's primary function.Kind regards,
