Hey, before i start im not looking for a card that is good in flight sim, I buy all the newest games and am going for a card that is a good all rounder. My budget is around 300 and i was thinking the ATI HD 4870. Does anyone think this is a good choice or a good card?

As of now the best card in the 200 range for FSX is the 8800GTX or Ultra. The 9 series is overpriced and I don't know about ATI. nVidia performs better in FSX anyways.

If you're running a 19" screen then I'd just go with a 9800GT. I've thought about it and a 4870 or 4850 is overkill for a relatively small screen.
