Presently I have two ATI Radeon 3870 video cards connected in a Crossfire configuration. It's barely adequate to support FSX at higher settings. I'd like to upgrade it using only one card. What do you suggest I get that will have the best impact for the buck?

What budget do you have?
There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

In order of price and performance, lowest first.
9800GT, GTS 250, GTX 260, GTX 275, GTX 285.
Since your crossfire, your currrent power supply should run them all.

Around $300.00. But it has to give me a much better performance than what I have now.

Could buy a GTX 285 for $325. VERY fast card, if you want cheaper then go for GTX 275 for $225. I am not sure if these cards require 8 pin connectors over 6 pin, however. If its 8 pin make sure to check it can run on your power supply.
