Charlie Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm looking to buy a new graphics card for X-Plane 10. At the moment my specs areintel i5-3570 @ 3.4GHZNvidia Geforce gt 630, which is a real bottleneck.I'm looking to spend up to $285USD which must include shipping to New Zealand.I have been looking at the GTX 760 on Amazon but I was wondering if I could get decent peformance out of a GTX 750ti which I can afford from a New Zealand based shop (Computer components are really overpriced here, but I wouldn't have to wait for it to ship and I would have better customer support if anything went wrong). Do you think I will be worth the extra cost and time to get the GTX 760? Or am I looking at the complete wrong card all together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloB Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) I own a gtx 760 4gb and it runs XP10 really well (of course not EVERYTHING cranked up...) with a i7 2600@4.3. I would strongly recommend a 3gb or 4gb card.If you can afford it - go for it.A 750ti would still be a huge step up from a gt 630, though. And run XP10 just fine.

chris k Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Do you think it would be better to buy a 4gb 760 or a 2gb 770? - If you're planning on using a LOT of Orthophoto scenery, then yes, 4 Gb VRAM on the 760.- If you want to use stock scenery, or just dial down the texure res a bit with orthophotos, but have a 25% faster card, then go for the 770. Performance difference here: Hope this helps. FWIW - I use a 2 Gb VRAM GTX 670.. which is somewhere in between, and uses the same nVidia chip as the GTX 680/770 (GK104 chip) - and it's pretty awesome. I believe the 760 uses the same chip, just at lower performance. I don't think you could go wrong either way. - CK. p.s. there's been a few times I wish I had more VRAM when doing scenery development. Hard to have WED and XP10 open at the same time with a ton of orthophotos: Edited July 15, 2014 by chris k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
