Hello all,
I would like your opinions on a graphics card for P3D that will best suite my rig.
My current setup is as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k @4.0Ghz (NOT willing to overclock)
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 290 (NOT X)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97-HD3
Power Supply: 800w
The case has got room for a full sized GPU
With P3D I use:
All PMDG's
Aerosoft A318-A321
Payware scenery for most popular airports (EGLL KJFK CYYZ)
With my current GPU while flying into the airports listed above^ in the Aerosoft A321 I get about 15-20fps. 15-20fps I can deal with, but it is when I step into the PMDG 737 that I get frames in the 10-16fps range.
I have all the drivers for my GPU, and have tweaked P3D (Which has helped some), and I have the latest updates/patches to P3D. I think it might be time to retire this card.
I was thinking something along the lines of an EVGA 970? If there is anyone reading this with this current card that sims on P3D, I would greatly appreciate a response. I don't really want to go above $450 CAD.
Thanks for your help.
