I would like to be able to run my Flight Simulator X with higher graphics settings. I presently have the following video card:

MSI R3650-T2D512 OC Radeon HD 3650 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127331

I am looking to possibly upgrade to the below video card in the future:

XFX HD-567X-ZNF3 Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card - $118
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150467

Does the XFX HD-567X-ZNF3 Radeon HD 5670 Video Card have a lot more processing power over the MSI R3650-T2D512 OC Radeon HD 3650 Video Card?

I think that the Radeon HD 5670 is probably a significant bit better than the Radeon HD 3650. Heck, it's probably significantly faster than the Radeon HD 4650. Why would you go with the XFX one over the Sapphire one, though?
 
Yea a 5670 would help out a good bit. Although don't expect to max it out or anything. FSX is motley CPU intensive from what I hear even the high end systems have trouble with it. FSX should be a standard bench mark for PC's it's to my knowledge one of the few most CPU intensive game out.
