I am looking for the most-est video card for my FSX machine. I currently have a 9800GTX and I am thinking I will upgrade to this GTX285: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B001PLSCOY/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance

Any thoughts, I know when I bought my 9800GTX everybody was saying I wasted my money and should have gotten the 8800.

Damn, the 9800's already a decent amount of video card. Unless you're also looking to improve your performance in other games, you sure you won't want to put that money into the CPU? That's where you'll see the most improvement in FSX.

I've got a AMD Phenom 9850 BE quad-core 2.5. What would you suggest ? Preferably something that will fit on that same board.
