    What about the rest of your system? CPU, RAM, HD, OS?
    If your previous card ran FSX about the same, then it probably was not the bottleneck...Don

    FSX is CPU dependent. That is most people's bottleneck.

    Quite a few of us have got better graphics cards and commented that performance is little different, though my last upgrade did allow me to use a lot more anti aliasing (which makes a big diffrence.

    Something that did hurt my performance a lot was replacing my 19 inch monitor with a 22 inch widescreen. A surprise at first until I calculated that FSX was having to draw about 30% more pixels.
