Ok, So I am thinking of getting a new video card.

Does anyone have any experience with ATI Cards and FSX? I run a 8800 GTS now and it's still very good, but want to get DX 11 Support.

FSX is the heaviest program I use so I build to meet what I expect from it.

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!
Mike

Nvidia is definitely the card to go with for FSX.

Depending on how much money you're willing to spend:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130550 - Great card and will get the job done without bottlenecking your system.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130593 - A little better performance. Honestly, I don't see this benefiting FSX at all unless you like high AA settings and are flying in dense scenery/cloud areas.
