IL-2 Sturmovik: Aces in the Sky

Aces in the Sky requires a high texturing speed as well as fast execution of pixel shaders. The GeForce 6800 GT is better in the first parameter, but the RADEON X800 XT and X850 XT PE are superior in the second. As a result, NVIDIA’s card is slightly ahead of the ATI cards, but the increased frequencies of the RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition help it to keep on about the same performance level.

The RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition and the GeForce 6800 GT have the same results in all the resolutions of the eye candy mode; this must be due to an insufficient speed of the central processor. The RADEON X800 XT is behind the leading duo.
