I am going to purchase a new PC. One of my goals is running Flight Simulator X Steam edition.
I must select one of the following graphics cards:
- Intel HD Graphics P530
- Intel HD Graphics 530
- AMD FirePro W2100 2GB
- NVIDIA Quadro K420 2GB
- NVIDIA Quadro K620 2GB
- AMD FirePro W5100 4GB
- NVIDIA Quadro K2200 4GB
I do realize they are far different for performance and price.
Can anybody please help me identify which ones can be used to run FSX and which ones should be considered the best ones?
Regards

Why are you looking at those workstation class GPUs instead of a gaming GPU. It would cost less and perform in gaming better to look at the Nvidia GTX 9XX series and the AMD Radeon R9 series.

What is your budget and the specs for your system?

You are right. I am considering a workstation to use it for other (business related) tasks.
The WS I am considering have i7 6700 processor, 16 GB RAM suitable to expand to 32 GB.
The question is: given such scenario, which video card can be used for FSX and which are the best?
What is the real advantage (for FSX) of purchasing one of the more expensive compared to the less expensive?
