I play the FSX game a lot and I have a fairly good PC rig. My OS is Win7 Ultimate 64 Bit, 3.5 GHz processor and 8 Gig RAM. I had a Radeon HD 7770 1 GHz GDDR5 video card (PCIe 3.0 x 16) but my Mobo has 2.0 x 16 expanson slots. My PC was working fine but all of a sudden I lost video (black screen). I took it to a PC Shop and they declared that my problem was incompatibility between the video card (3.0) and the mobo (2.0). The tech first replaced the card with a Radeon HD 7790 (3.0) but that didnot work. Then he installed a Nvidia Quadro 600 (2.0) and it worked fine. Checking it's specification, the Quadro 600 was definitely inferior to the HD 7770 and it was giving me video problems when I play the FSX. I had to make my settings at a much lower level. So now I'm shopping for another video card which will allow me to play the FSX in a higher setting.
Any recommendation? And should I be concerned about the 3.0/2.0 compatability issue?
