Lock On: Modern Air Combat

As the resolution increases the performance of our RADEON X1600 XT drops slower than that of other testing participants, so that in 1600x1200 it overtakes GeForce 6800 GT still offering bigger performance margin. In fact fillrate and memory subsystem performance are the key factors determining the graphics card performance in flight simulators, therefore it is not surprising at all that 16-pipeline RADEON X800 XL and GeForce 6800 GT get to the forefront in game modes with enabled FSAA and anisotropic filtering. RADEON X1600 XT easily demonstrates the performance level of GeForce 6800 due to high GPU frequency.
