January 24, 201412 yr The Nvidia 660 cards by EVGA and others is a good card in this price range. I upgraded last year and it has done a great job for me. My MSFS 2020 repaints: Flightsim.to - Profile of HStreet Working on MSFS 2024 versions.
January 24, 201412 yr Author Thanks for your answer. I also looked at this videocard and to me it seems a good card. one question. wich Fps do you get in fsx?
January 24, 201412 yr FPS in FSX is more determined by the processor on the motherboard than the graphics card. My system is AMD FX-43xx processor running at approx. 3.6mhz. Running the VRS Superbug with detailed scenery, I get about 15FPS with my autogen settings. My MSFS 2020 repaints: Flightsim.to - Profile of HStreet Working on MSFS 2024 versions.
January 25, 201412 yr Looks a definite step up from your current card. Check this out: http://www.nvidia.com/content/HelpMeChoose/fx2/HelpMeChoose.asp?lang=en-us My MSFS 2020 repaints: Flightsim.to - Profile of HStreet Working on MSFS 2024 versions.
January 25, 201412 yr Hello is a GTX 560 TI Hawk Edition good for fsx? Daniël Within the price range you're looking for its a nice card, but you might want to consider that the next obvious move is probably going to be to P3D (or maybe even X-Plane) so the cards I linked you to all had 2gb of ram for a slight bit of future maneuvering room.........

January 25, 201412 yr Author Henry, Thanks, it was helpful, it says that I have to look for a GTX 650 or GTX 650 ti. HiFlyer, thanks for your tip, I havent considered that future games will require more of a videocard is 1.5 gig good? or is 2 gig a must
January 25, 201412 yr Even 1gig is fine for FSX. Anything else will want at least 2gigs We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......

January 25, 201412 yr Hey you should check the R7 260x 2GB from Sapphire. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
January 25, 201412 yr Author thanks HiFlyer, its nice to know. I will look at 2 gig cards is the r7 260x a good card for heavy games like Fsx or Battlefield?
January 25, 201412 yr thanks HiFlyer, its nice to know. I will look at 2 gig cards is the r7 260x a good card for heavy games like Fsx or Battlefield? Don't know about Battlefield but for FSX yes. Keep the 2 GB VRAM. Not that FSX may use all of it, but maybe BF will. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
