Video Card Update

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

I am considering replacing my current Nvidia 8800GTS 320mb card with a Galaxy GeForce GTX 285 1GB card and was wondering if any members with the GTX 285 installed are able to comment on the performance of the GTX.

The GTX 285 is the preferred and recommended graphics card for FSX at the Orbx Forums. As FSX only uses a single GPU graphics card. (The 295 has 2 GPU's)

I had a GTX-768 mb G/force , this was getting dated , but work superb in showing photoreal ground texture immediately , our friendly road constructors cooked that one so i was off to get a upto date replacement , this was a GTX 285 1GB card and is a very superb price .. I would check brand name , i do prefer to stick with Albatron or Gigabyte , i would not hesitate with that one

Great price and brand
