Is this a good card for Flight simulator X

Absolutely. FSX have a better render with nvidia chipsets, with Radeon it runs good too, but FSX recommends Nvidia, also I have a Radeon too but runs much better in nvidia. My brother play it everyday, and is a very good choice, he plays with 3 monitors. Smooth.

It would depend if ur running multi monitors or not and at what resolution..... I would say a single monitor Yes not to sure on a double......I have a friend that was using a gtx 250 @ low Res......also u could check google they have a bunch of forums that would be able to answer better....I could play Diablo at Max and battlefield 3 on Med wen I had it....sorry I couldn't give u a direct answer

I have the GTX 650 ti with i3, 8gb ram, win7. Runs Flight simulator X easily

Should be, it's a middle ground card, will be able to run most games just not on highest settings.

I wouldn't buy this card for that game... This card is crap.. Try a cheap radeon, it will be way better even with less memory, I played black ops with a radeon HD 4500 with 512ram Now I have a radeon 7800 with 2 gigas ram instead of this one... The price says it all.. This one will do fine with picts and videos, but not for real gaming...

It will but may have driver compatibility issues. Honestly if you want to game with this card, put it on a PC instead of a MAC. However you can purchase better cards than this now at a cheaper price. This card is decent but not worth the money from what you get out of it. They only produced this particular model for a short while anyway. Look elsewhere.

Everything I've read shows FSX works well through Windows 7. I have tried to make it work in Windows 8/8.1 with no luck. Runs well for about 10 minutes then crashes, youtube had some fixes but none have worked for me. Right now FSX is a door stop for newer systems it is not supported any more, so I went to X-Plane 10 North American region, it works well and is supported with continual updates. Good luck and best of luck!!!!! Oh by the way FSX is 32 bit and will only use 3 meg of memory no matter how much you have in your machine, X-Plane is 64 bit and will use all the memory you have and will use the GPU graphics chip more when you tax the simulator with detail.

Yes it is, I am running Windows 8 right now. However, if you are looking for a card at about this price range I would go with the newer cards from amd, like the R9 270. Those are a bit more expensive but they are alot better in terms of performance. Another option you should consider is the Geforce GTX 750. Other then that this card is great!

I have no experience with these games myself but as long as you have it paired with a powerful enough CPU and fast RAM, it should do fine. Tom's Hardware benchmarked it playing BF3 at 1920x1080 with an average of 40.6 FPS (minimum was 36.0). That was with a Sandy bridge i7-3960X and some 1600MHz memory. I have a Haswell i5 right now and 1866Mhz memory. So far my system has been able to handle everything I throw at it. This card has been a great buy. Lots of performance and the price is very reasonable. I highly recommend it.

I am not sure myself. Personally I would upgrade into a better controller such as the DX6i. Happy Flying!

I would think so. Ive had no trouble with the graphics card whatsoever. I play a flight simulator online but it uses older graphics...

Yes, but I'd recommend turning AA (anti-aliasing) off to keep a solid frame rate. If you want to play with Eyefinity (3 screens) or 4K resolution, this card can keep a reasonable frame rate up to High settings (with a couple settings turned slightly down a bit from the "High setting" default).

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have?? Woody

it will handle it quite well, in 1080p, it is a very overclockable card, great card. in short it will handle it well.

This card is backwards compatible with any pci express x16. So yes it should run fine, but make sure your hardware is not gonna limit the full potential of the card.

Yes though remember part of that depends on your graphics card I would think as long as your not going SLI or even if you are as long as they are not super powered cards you should be good. It's what I am running in my rig right now so I know it works fine.
1535676
yes, this is probally the best $200 card I have ever owned. I get over 150 fps in Black ops 2

As long as you have 1 PCI Express x16 Slot this card should work. What's more important is that you have at least a 350W power supply. I would recommend a 400W supply.

This is an all round good card for the money. You can play skyrim with minimal lag, but battlefield 4 deserves a better card like a 256 bit. One milisecond of lag makes all the difference in battlefield. This is for the occasional, not so hardcore gamer.
