There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I'm at work so this will be short:
This video card has no trouble dealing with overclocked AMD HD 5830s and really only falls a little behind the HD 5850 and overclocked GTX 465. However it is only 192bit which means you would only put this on a medium range Intel a775 socket, low to medium Core i5, or AMD quad core if you mean to use it for FSX. We tested this on an i5 750 and were impressed that it could nearly keep up with the AMD HD5850 and GTX465 standard. Price/performance a pretty deal especially if this about the limit you can afford. However if you can afford a little more video card look at 256 bit 1GB DDR5 vram GTX 460 or 465 OC for better for better performance in FSX. Bandwidth is everything to FSX.
