But im going to Purchase a new computer since just yesterday i won $700 off a $10 scratcher ticket so i went to ibuypower.com and found one i think will be ok for decent fsx play.. ive always used ati and have never had a problem but im not to sure if i want to switch to nvidia or not... Either way im goin to put 2 graphic cards in it but i wanted some advice on what to get Nvidia or Stick with ati's x2 cards and try to get 2 of those in a comp if u can got around $1500 to spend as of yesterday....

I've started to lose faith in ATI a bit, and while I don't use FSX, I hear Nvidia is the way to go for that.

Specs: Asus Crosshair nForce 590 SLI,
AMD Athlon X2 6400+ w/ZeroTherm BTF90,
4GB G.Skill PI Series DDR2-800,
Sapphire HD4870 512MB,
PC P&C 750 Quad, in a CoolerMaster HAF932

I am going with ATi with my new system... mainly because the 4850s are really good bang for buck... and if you chuck 2 in there u can just about match a 280GT While playing hi load games Wink

I go with Nvidia. They make great cards but a bit slow on the drivers. I hear they are getting better at all aspects. I have only had experience with the 8800 series and I think they are the best of all of Nvidia's cards. Wink

Yes the 8800 series (G92 anyways) are the best bang for their buck. Not sure the exact price of them now but I saw an 8800GT for $100!!! WOW Cheesy

nVidia FTW!! Grin

I almost did until they came out with the Agp 3850 wich worked great for my old comp... but i think its time to branch out to something that seems tried and tested... the 8800 gtx
