GPU Update, any reccomendations?

I currently have a PNY GeForce GTX 260 with 812MB of memory as my GPU, and am looking for a BIG upgrade. Does anybody have any suggestions of a good, ultra high-performance GPU for me, the price range doesn't matter as much.

My Criteria:
Substanitally more memory on-board
HMDI(mini is okay) output
Something really fast
Can be overclocked safely if needed
Nothing much else, just what works for you guys or you know works.

FSX doesn't care that much about the GPU itself so don't expect huge gains when switching.

You may look for the still current Nvidia GTX460 or the newer 560 cards. They clock well, the run relatively cool and on a lower power consumption than their bigger counterparts and they also have some variation when it comes to different memory amounts. Pick 1gb or above.
Look closer on the actually model before buying since some devs use their own cooler designs, offering only other optics or an increased usability (low noise/better cooling), it really depends. The optical stuff isn't of any use and sometimes even louder than the default design.

The 460 should come in a bit cheaper than the 560 but won't lose much (if anything) in pure FSX terms. So your wallet may decide.

The time when I creating my character I discovered something that upset me at first in that, aside from adding in more "story driven" quest progression tied to the overall story line that dictates the latest expansion, nothing had really change. World of Warcraft is still fundamentally rooted in the principles that have dictated MMO development for over a decade, dating back to genre-definers like Ultima Online and EverQuest.. Blizzard have redefined the player experience in so much as they have added in a lot of the aesthetic qualities brought to leveling in the previous expansions - The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. Mechanics such as phasing, where parts of the world change and evolve as you progress, have been used minimalistically, generally to open up new quest givers, and impart a sense of progression in to the repetitive and monotonous tasks you undertake. It seems Blizzards idea of questing is largely - although certainly not totally - rooted in the ideas of old, that players should be grinding and collecting in almost all they do. No, Blizzard have not redefined the wheel here, but what they have done is brought a sense of freshness to the experience.

Lately it has been frustrating to me that the older I get, the less time I have left for my favorite game wow. I want to pump all the classes, but I only have time for one. Fortunately, there is a service for [url="https://wowvendor.com/en-us/wow/"]wow boost[/url] where pump all the classes at the same time while I sleep or at work.
