Video card ??
Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2009 4:57 amGood morning,
SLI or Crossfire sure has no benefit on Flight Sim, that's correct
And i've heard the GTX 295 is just 2x Radeon HD 4870s in nVidia package, and that the GTX 285 is the way to go.

Its more about those using the 3 monitor TripleHead2Go units and very high res
Even so, all you get is a faster key'd frame buffer.. no frame rate increase or anything like that.. what that means is panning and other operations see no lag in catching up with a lot of high res monitors in use..
2 typical monitors is childs play for a 1GB card
so no, you dont 'need' the 2GB model however if you play other games it may come in handy. FSX itself wont use it
