    Default What video card?

    My most recent rig is a Phenom 550 X2 Black Edition with 2GB DDR3 memory. I've unlocked it to a quad core.

    Can't remember the model number of the motherboard as I'm on Tapatalk right now but it has the ATI 4200 onboard video - for a laugh I installed FSX and was surprised at the 35FPS I got with all settings at Medium-Low and at 1920x1080x32 with Trilinear filtering!

    That onboard video is the best i've seen, though I'd like to push the detail up a bit and wondering which video card would be best value for money at the moment?

    Cheers!

    I've never played FSX, but I've heard/read that it is cpu intensive. If your budget is below £100 I'd recommend ATI 4850/70 (unless you want DX11) or Nvidia 250 GTS card:

    the 4850 is £20 cheaper

    any invidia card with surpport for dx 11 will do the job you want just fine. Have a look on places like ebuyer. Some good deals on there
