TrevdeBow,

Sorry no one got back to you.

FSX is on the extreme CPU end of the CPU / GPU spectrum, and is the most CPU bound title you can run. Frames per second are 85% driven by processors cores and clock frequency. As such, FSX performs best on a highly overclocked i7 920 with a mainstream nVidia card such as a GTX 260, so the 5870 is overkill. See Tom's Gaming Graphics Charts - http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/gaming-graphics-charts-q3-2008/benchmarks,30.html

Hope this helps,

Comp
