I currently have Gigabyte nvidia GTX 650 Ti 2GB and it does not supply the performance I need for FSX.

My budget is tight and I am considering the following options:
1. GTX 650 TI Boost
2. GTX 660 2GB
3. GTX 660 TI

Which option would you go for ? And which brand ?

My PC spec is an i5-3570 3.4 ghz, gigabyte h77 motherboard and 8gb 1600 memory.

Thanks !

I would avoid the 660ti, the 650ti is really good for its price and so is the 660. the 660ti is overpriced for what it offers unless you can get one for $260 or less

If your budget allows fora 660ti, recommend instead of getting a Radeon HD 7950 boost. They are the same price range of a 660ti and it will destroy it in every benchmark.
 
um, can you get a second 650ti for an SLI set up? otherwise, all the cards you're recommending would not give you a noticeable upgrade in performance.

If you really want to avoid an SLI set up, I would then sell your 650ti, and follow caydn12's suggesting in going AMD with a 7950 or a 7970 if you can find one cheap enough (maybe you can sell their bundle of games to recover some money)
