Flight Sim doesn't stress your GPU that much so no brainer here. Unless you're going to play Crysis in 5760x1200px you shall be more than happy with triple monitor setup

tbh i wasnt happy with 5850 performance in COD4 or Far Cry 2 either on single screen (not tried 3 with 5850) so i would def go 5870 for flight sim multi monitor setup.

You're kidding me, right? Far Cry 2 and CoD:4 are funny games to test on 5850. Flight Simulator X is CPU dependant and old Nvidia cards like 8800GT are doing a good job there. Radeon 5850 will it this game for a breakfast. I'm still laughing at CoD:4, I played it nearly maxed out with AAx2 on GeForce 7600GS

Thanks guys. Yep FSX especially seems to be a real CPU eater. Hopefully an i5 overclocked to 4GHz will do the business.

Any idea when the vapour x units will be in ?

Is it worth going for one of these over a standard card ?

I was just told by customer care that they do not have an ETA for the Vapor-X and i have just cancelled my order for one and ordered the Vanilla 5870

Now that is a shame. Guess I will wait till next month before I get one then.

 

[Eddmac]

yeah maybe, I cant wait though, need one now

Seems like a good price for the overclock and better cooler though
