I`m looking to know if this Vid Card works well in FSX + A:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121656&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL060413&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL060413-_-EMC-060413-Index-_-DesktopGraphicsVideoCards-_-14121656-L05D
I`m willing to changefrom ATI to Nvidia GTX`s.
Thanks to all!

I recently changed from an ATI card to the Nvidia 660 and it has given me a boost beyond my expectations. Over a 30% increase with much improved graphics.

I hear a lot that Nvidia 660 ti is the card for FSX. I`m totally considering to change. I have Readon HD 5850 I think.

The 660Ti would be my recommendation. In my experience NVidia cards tend to run a little better in FSX. The 660Ti would also give you pretty decent performance for gaming as well; If you don't do any gaming you could easily get by with a 660 or 650ti boost.

I had a 5850, then upgraded to the 7770 (which was actually worse than the 5850) The 660ti is the bomb. You will not be disappointed. Make sure to download NVIDIA inspector to really tweak that card. I can't recommend it enough to you Thiago, it is that good! I have the GTX 660ti. It was around $250 to $280 I think. Got it from Best Buy.

I would able to get for around USD250.00 also Mark. Should I wait a little more as the GTX700`s come out?

If you were worried about waiting for a 700 series card if you bought an EVGA card you could use the step up program and get one of the newer cards when they come out.
