fsx dosent use your gpu it uses your cpu.

Even if he asked for a gpu only, I tried to find some numbers to confirm this.
And what I find is that this game is cpu depended but for christ sake it doesnt use your cpu :S.
What I am saying is that its only 2-threaded. A fast dual core cpu is what you can get in order to top it. Or you can take a "K" processor so you can use 2 cores on high speeds (like 4,5Ghz).
