Yes I used the search feature till my eyes hurt but no real answer other than "possibly smoother" and a higher fps will not be noticable.
I have a I7 920, 6 gigs, Vista 64 and a 4870 512. I run on a 32 inch lcd at 1920x1080.
I just recovered from a total os meltdown when changing from Ati to Nvidia so I want to stick to ATI for right now.
Question- Will moving to a newer 4870 with 1 gig of ram be noticable?
The one I have is one of the earlier ones with 512 ram.
I also see the new 4890 but it does not appear to be much faster.
This is the card I am considering

This is a FSX only rig. I like this card because its been around and proven and has a great cooling. Any 512 to one gig card experinces welcomed.
BTW-Extra points- Do I need to add a special fsx.exe line to get FSX/accel to utilize the extra ram? I am coming from a xp,2 gig setup so I am clueless. Thanks
