Hello All,So I have a Q9550 overclocked to 3.7, 4gigs ram and a GTX260 card on win64. After seeing the reviews decided to get a GTX570. After following the driver removal instructions on Nvidia's web site I removed the drivers swapped cards and installed the new drivers.With the GTX570 installed the benchmarks showed double the power of the older GTX260. So eager to see what FSX could do now I loaded it up. And if I had not put the card in my self I would not have believed it was changed. Really not (1) FPS more, and not the least bit smoother. How is it possible that the card could show such improvements in 3 different benchmarks but absolutely nothing for FSX? Has anyone else experienced this when changing there card. When I went from a GTS8800 to a GTX260 I noticed a big increase in smoothness, not a big FPS increase but smoother.I just don't see the difference here I was expecting from other reviewers.Regards,Ken ----Sorry this is a duplicate post please delete---

I second that. FZPDX was my favorite also and I really look forward to having orbx release an updated portland as it is called PNW not 1/2 of the PNW. Thanks orbx thats the only place i can fly now... great job...ken

Do you want the faster v-card for fsx or fs9? I have a Q9550 @ 3.7 and a gtx260 with tons of add ons and very smooth flight at all times in fs9.I am curious because I too am thinking about upgrading to the gtx570 for fsx but not sure with my cpu i will see a difference. Anyone done this with the same hardware choices?MAX we have the same cpu what did you have before the 570? was it really worth it.

I went from a 8800gt to a 260 core216 and didn't notice a huge difference in frame rate but I could turn things up a little more with out the old slow down I used to experience and weather no longer slowed be down either. So if any one has not moved up to a gtx260 or better, you have better get one on order cause its definitely worth the upgrade.I also experience the 15fps range in big city airports w/ max graphics and wonder if a 460 or 570 is worth the upgrade or just save up for sandy bridge?
