Im doing a 5 screen flight sim with either fs9 of fsx. These are the two cards i see recommended:
sapphire 6950 flex or the 5870 eyefinity 6.

Which one will perform the best for a flight sim?



I can get 5870 or the 6950 flex for about $250, however the with the flex i will spend a little bit less on cables, and i only have xp so i think the flex runs on that, 5870 requires W7.

Which is best?????

Well a 5870 and 6950 are about the same in power.
Could you link me to this 6950 flex with 5 ports that all work in tandem?
Also, Eyefinity only works on Vista or Higher. You may end up having to use SoftTH to (Pre 2.0) to getting it to work.
