| 1282778 | 2012-06-22 21:00:00 | The buy the top card you can. 4 years is a hell of a time for gaming. 2 years more likely. MSFSX is very CPU hungry, really needs an i7. I can't. The Card is my birthday present from my parents and the max price they are willing to pay is the GTX 560 Ti |

| 1282779 | 2012-06-22 21:02:00 | Something worth noting on the tests Sol linked is the 7850 used a lot less power on the load tests, what PSU are you using? Psu is power supply? I am geating it upgraded anyway so it dosn't matter |

| 1282783 | 2012-06-23 08:20:00 | Definetly. 20% more is the way to go. You never know you may just upgrade something else...... And if your parents are willing to buy of ebay they may find that graphics cards are slightly cheaper. Not all are but there is the odd one. Just watch out for shipping costs. |
