September 6, 201411 yr I am currently running a Radeon Gigabyte 6950 1GB GPU with an Intel i7 2600K CPU and a TX 850 PSU. I am looking to upgrade to an nVidia card within a $250 CAD budget. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Tanner A. Vincent
September 6, 201411 yr You are probably going to be looking at a GTX 660 or similar, I had one of these and it performed fairly well but I did see it struggle once I pushed my CPU to 4.7 as it really couldn't keep up with what the processor was feeding it. I sold it on Kijiji and brought a GTX 780. It was a fair chunk of change but I have never looked back. It is the perfect card for my system, FSX with DX10 has never looked or performed so smoothly. I was going to add a further two 27" monitors to my existing monitor but I recently acquired an LG 42 LED and have to say the immersion is awesome Hope you find what you are looking for Richard Richard i7-12700K | Noctua NH-D15S Black Version | MSI Pro Z690 - A | 32 GB DDR4 3600 | Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 | 1TB WD Blue NMVe (MSFS 2020) | 500 GB WD Black Gen 4 NVMe | 4TB WD Black Conventional | Fractal Design Torrent Case | Seasonic 1000W Gold Plus PSU | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Honeycomb Throttle | Airbus Side Stick | Virpil Rudder Pedals | Sony X90K 55 Inch TV |
September 10, 201411 yr Maybe look at the GTX 660Ti with 2GB RAM. I have one but now use the 770 GTX ACX. Depends on your settings, of course, but the 660 can work if you are not pushing the sliders to the max Ryzen 9 7900X, AsRock Taichi B650e, MSI RTX 4070 Ti Super, 32GB G Skill Flare, 850W PSU, 4TB WD 850 SSD, Win 11 Pro, 27" 1440p MSI monitor
