My son needs a new GC and I was thinking about this one...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121285

Are the GTX series good for FSX?

hes running a slow proc by compare of what those 260/280 cards are made for so a 260 is way overkill for it and he will never see the cards true ability

The 8800GT is fine and its even going to be faster than that proc but at least its a balance of perf over CPU

Thanks Nick.....I was wondering if you can tell me if there is another faster processor for the AM2 (940) socket.
