Sorry this is all running very late but that is because it very complex and there is a large article being written on what we found. But let me say one thing... get a $60 ATI 4650 based card for FSX.
Assuming you are not running Vista 64 bit (that is the worst OS for any version of FS) this is simply the fastest card there is. Depending on settings and other things it simply blows any other graphics card away with 25% to 125%. And what's even stranger, the more expensive the GPU the slower it seems to get. And this is not a report from my system, this is something we worked on for months. We even send some reviewers that had $600 duo GPU systems these cheap cards and asked them to repeat the reviews. Without a single exception they went from marginal to great fps. And like me they are now putting those expensive cards on ebay. I'll atach a few images. Same system, different graphics cards. I can't see the difference in looks.
Loads of people will not believe this and that's okay (I got stocks in the companies that make the high end cards!). I can only say that on XP and Vista 32 bits I yet got to see a system that went from a high end GPU to the 4650 and did not get at least 50% increase in many places. The images are from a cheapo 2core machine with a Nividia 8800GTS and a ATI 4650 that I don't even know the exact name of, who cares? The images with the high FPS are the ones with the $60 graphics card.
