Graphics FSX - Intel HD?

[CaptAlan]

Hi guys!

We might possibly be buying an Intel dual-core that has the Intel HD2000 for on-board graphics. I wish to play Flight Simulator X sp2 on it, but I believe that the HD2000 won't be enough even if I have 4GB of RAM, right? My only other options are:

Sparkle NVidia GeForce GT520 1GB DDR3
Core Clock: 810 MHz
Memory Interface: 64-bit
CUDA cores: 48
Stream Processors Clock: 1620 MHz
Bus Type: PCI-Express 2.0

or the
Zotac Nvidia GeForce GT 430 1GB / 128-bit DDR3 / Core 700MHz Memory 1333MHz

Which one of these three would be best for FSX SP1?

Thanks in advance!

I'll probably go for a faster card.
Here's a HD 6570.
It's considerably faster than both the GT430 or a GT520.

Benches aren't included, but you can expect that both the GT430 and GT520, will be slower than the HD 4670.

Either the 6570, or 6670.

But of the three (GT430, GT520 and Intel HD2000) which is faster?

True, I'd go for a HD 6570/6670 over them.
