Hi
I have just had a computer built around a i5 2500k. I was hoping for a GTX 560ti but ended up with a GTX 550ti 2GB as no stock is available for the 560. Is it worth me getting the GTX 570 ? I don't mind paying the extra money if I will see a reasonable difference in the sim.
Any advice much appreciated. Thanks Paul

FSX doesn't rely that much on power from the GPU so there won't be a noticeable difference between a 550Ti and a 570.
