Which do you like better?

Postby jimm57 » Fri Aug 12, 2011 11:05 am

Thinking of these 2 GPU's to improve my FSX: EVGA GTX 550 and a PNY GTX 460. Which would you suggest? (Currently running an EVGA 8800GTS, 512 DDR2)

Sys info:
Win 7 64bit
AMD 2.8 Athlon 7850 Dual core
4 Gig RAM
ASUS M2n68 mobo
430W Thermaltake PSU

The GTX 460 would slightly out-perform the GTX 550 Ti.

The chart on this page will help.

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
