Now what is a tune again?
Comp Cam 54-412-11 , Int:265, 212, .522 , Exh: 271, 218, .529 , LSA 114 , Longtube , CAI (Vararam) , TransGo HD2 shift kit , tuned by me with EFILive
Think I would go with the GF 9 series or GF 200 series (newer) .

Ive built custom comps since 15 so that line was f'ing hilarious when I first saw that cause theres been people who've actually recommended those for "hardcore" DX9 games.Originally Posted by use2bfo
Hey man I dunno what your processor setup is like but I would recommend this card and it performs just as well as the Nvidia 200 series cards but more reasonable.
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-R485ZL-512H Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Or next step up
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Also what kind of power supply are you running and how many amps are available on the 12v+ rail(s)? In order to get those cards running trouble free I recommend a solid power supply at/above 400wts with a 12v+ rail(s) combining at/over 30amps.
(Power supplies if needed...)
Newegg.com - Rosewill RP550V2-D-SL 550W ATX12V v2.01 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply - Power Supplies
or slightly cheaper
Newegg.com - FSP Group AX500-PN Max: 450W Peak: 500W ATX2.2 Power Supply - Power Supplies
or even cheaper...
Newegg.com - Antec Basiq BP500UB 500W ATX12V Version 2.01 Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies
Those would be some good choices but only imo... from a price/performance wise point of view.

Yeah I second the 4850 or 4870. But what is you processor setup? FSX tends to be very cpu dependent, and likes lots of ram. It doesn't like pentium 4 very much.
If you are using a pentium 4, or older athlon 64, the 4830 would probably be a much better card to get. Being how a pentium 4 won't be able to use the 4850 and 4870 to their fullest. And still WAY better than that 6800gt.
