ok so i was looking on the nvidia website and i saw that the reccommed gpu for flight simulator x was the 6800gt

then i thought the 7900gt was way better but then i looked on some website and saw that the 6800gt was like £160....

so which is better 7900gt or 6800gt:confused: :eek: :angry: :( ;) :D :rolleyes:

i was reading on extreme tech that a 7900gtx only ran it on med high:(
Must be bull mate, the 7900GTX is a high end card and would run pretty much all games on high settings
 
Flight Simulator X is meant to be run mainly on Vista, and i have heard the same thing that top-of-the-range systems cannot run it on full.
 
On my system, I'm running it at 1600x1200, with everything except autogens turned to full and I'm getting a constant 20FPS.

And Tim, you'll also notice that the 7800GTX is more expensive on some sites than the 7900GT, even though the 7900GT performs a bit better.

With FSX, I feel that more RAM (at least 2GB) will make a bigger difference than the GFX card.
