FS X is a CPU dependent game but works actually a little bit better with nvidia gpu´s.
The best low power card to date is though ATI HD4670 but you might want to look at the new GF 220/40gt gpu´s as well I am not familiar enough with them to comment.

There are a couple of 9800GT and 9600GT low power versions that do not require a 6 pin power connector. Here's one listed, there are others.
