Hi Tommy,

As Alain said, the 480 GTX is better all around. However, in FSX I found that the difference is between the two is marginal. The 470 GTX wrings out pretty much as much performance as it's bigger brother with less cost and power. So if it was just for FSX, I would suggest the 470 GTX for your system specifications.

In the future, whenever it comes, "Microsoft Flight" might be coded as such that takes greater advantage of the GPUs, perhaps even benefiting much more significantly from SLI. In addition other games and applications might make better use of the extra power of the 480 GTX.

So, it depends...
