New ATI 5 Series Video cards

[harleyman]

I have a question about them...


They all just have an interface of 128 bits.....

None I have seen are 256 ??????


It has always been a rule of thumb for me to ALWAYS get the 256 bit cards....


Anyone using these 5 series cards? And how do they perform with the 128 bit interface?

Thanks...

HD5850, 5870, 5970 are 256 bit...the rest I would stay away from for FSX

Well thanks..thats more like it...

All my searches showed nothing in a 256 bit interface...maybe cause they are OUT of them...LOL

Thanks Ted.....

I am going to buy a new card to supplant my old HD2900 and I am really undecided between three models, which fit my pocket, each one with its pro and con:
- HD 5770
- HD 4870 Vapor-X
- GTX 260
I do not even know how they perform with FSX.
Any advice?
