Performance in Simulators
Il2: Pacific Fighters

Obviously, that texture filtering has no effect on performance in flight simulators. Given Nvidia’s efficient OpenGL driver and the fact that Maddox Games uses Nvidia hardware during game development, ATI Radeon X1950 XTX can deliver only 65% of the GeForce 7950 GX2’s performance.
X3: Reunion

For some reason, increased filtering quality lowered performance of both graphics accelerators a bit in this space flight simulator. Performance of the Radeon X1950 XTX and the GeForce 7950 GX2 is nearly equal here.
