Am looking at updating my Video card (Radeon HD2600 PRO 512MB).
What are thoughts on NVidia vs. Radeon, etc.?
What would you recommend without breaking the bank?
And have a 430w PSU that I know needs upgrading as well.

MB = ASUS M4A78LT-M
CPU = AMD Phenom IIx4 965 3.40 ghz
RAM = 8GB
OS = windows7x64

Dallas - Just bought that card (with a few other bits). Tim - I would second the recommendation I'm really pleased with it and I haven't even looked at overclocking it yet. Here's a review http://www.funkykit.com/component/content/article/8195-review-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-560-oc-1gb-gddr5.html?start=7

Save your self 200.00. As FSX is A CPU hog, you will get just as good of performance and texture quality. look here, our own! Bigger is only better when it comes to Linebackers

Edit. thought it was a 580. Thats not a bad price for the 560. Still believe the 470 or 80 is a better card. Numbers are decieving
