The good thing is the price of G/cards has gone down and performance gone up .. still you want to compare and ask .. 2 GB is great but old day found cheaper cards can let you down and give you a false showing ... I always went to the high price card or just below it after being disappointed many times .

That card would be ok for FSX if you are fixed to a budget.
The speed of the CPU is more important.
The faster the better.
Have a read of this

I've got that card. Mainly got it for my photography needs but it also works fine with FSX. I agree with Rocky that CPU speed is probably most important though with my system this card is actually the limiting factor! Windows 8 gives it a rating of 6.6
Edit:
Correction, I checked and found that I had ordered the 330 - by mistake!! I was planning on getting the 660 but made a typo somehow and so now after a month of use have just discovered my mistake. Bugger.
Still, as I said the one I have, the 330 does work ok with FSX and is good with my photography programs so I would say that the 660 should be very good - but now will have to decide if I should replace it with the one I meant to order (at extra expense of course!)
Damn, I'm getting careless .. .
