FSX: GTX750 TI vs GTX660 TF

[coach0512]

Hello.

I have just built a gaming rig. To stay within my budget, I had to buy a crappy graphics card, which is the GTX610. I plan on playing FSX and XP10, and i do not care much about what noice my PC makes. That being said, which GPU is better for FSX and XP10?

Thanks in advance!

Well, the GTX 660 is definitely better than the 750 TI. However I wouldn't suggest investing money in a card that's now three generations old. If you have a hard budget, please share, and we'll be able to help you maximize your performance potential!

I agree with sammy.

I have a GPU budget of about $200.

Depending on the wattage and quality of your power supply, you have a plethora of options. Following suggestions listed from least in performance to greatest.

GTX 750Ti Superclocked 2GB - $129.99

Economical & budgeted. It's what I'd consider tier 2 of the entry level gaming GPU's. Much better than a GT 610

~~~~~~

R7-260X 2GB - $138.99

Also tier 2 for entry level cards, in my opinion. A hotter running card than the 750Ti, but it edges out a win in performance overall. Well priced

~~~~~~

R9-270X 2GB - $170.00 With Promo Code PCAMDRDN15

Upping the performance level quite a bit. Able to play most titles at 1080p with very favorable frame rates. Also priced quite well for what you're getting in comparison to other similarly priced hardware.

~~~~~~

GTX 760 2GB - $188.40 With Promo Code HSYGSKS9

This particular third party port of this card is priced decently per it's performance, mainly cause newegg is doing a good promotion. Otherwise these cards are usually overpriced. Excellent performance, with it clearly outclassing the 270X

~~~~~~

R9-280 3GB - $181.10 With Promo Code PCAMDRDN9

This is your value if you want the utmost your budget allows for. A better option than the GTX 760 for several reasons, but my favorite being the progressive addition of 3GB VRAM making crossfire/multi-monitor options more viable in the future.

I have a 500W power supple and I am looking for the card that offers the best preformance for XP10 and FSX

Definitely the R9-280. It sits comfortably between a GTX 760 and a GTX 770 in performance, for a much better price than either per performance.
