<<bump>> Finally having to replace a Logitech Wingman FF that served for many years, but responding to the OP, I think the reason is the reliability. The flight controls on mine have become increasingly erratic. The twist yaw in particular is almost unuseable. Found a few discussions about disassembling and cleaning a stick, but seems one needs specialized microtools and a surgical hand to be successful. <sigh> Hoping to find another FF product that will fill the bill.

Follow-up post - purchased a MSI card with a GeForce 210 GPU in Sept - running fine for a couple months now - not a high-end unit but quiet and fanless, runs fine with FS2004.T

PSU is only a 400 watt model, max ~15 A on each of the +12V lines. Looking at the NVIDIA product guide, might go with GeForce GT 220.

Hi all,My 3-yr old (out of warranty) GeForce 7300GS just died - fan completely seized up. FS9 ran well with the 7300, am just looking to replace it with an equivalent new. Am looking at the GTX 460 or similar. Would like to avoid fans, they always seem to be the weakest part, but seem most GC's use them. Any suggestions or practical experiences out there?System: Asus P5GC MX/1333 MB, 2 GB RAM, 1680x1050 single monitor, Vista Home Premium SP2, PSU: Regular PC capacity (not a high power unit).
