Performance in Simulators

Pacific Fighters

The PowerColor X1900 GT can’t impress with its performance in this Nvidia cards-oriented game. However, it runs Pacific Fighters fast enough to provide you an enjoyable flight experience.

Unfortunately, the Radeon X1000 family do not support vertex texturing and render a lower-quality water surface than is available on the GeForce 7900 GT.

X3: Reunion

Unlike the flight sim Pacific Fighters, the space sim X3: Reunion evidently prefers the Radeon X1000 architecture and the GeForce 7900 GT has to compete with the Radeon X1800 XL only (but its speed isn’t disappointing, after all). The PowerColor X1900 GT is slower than the Radeon X1800 XT 512MB, but the overclocking helps to narrow the gap to 5%.

The PowerColor card allows playing with comfort in 1280x1024 resolution with enabled 4x FSAA and 16x anisotropic filtering. Well, you can also try to switch to 1600x1200 – the minimum speed is never lower than 30fps.
