Lock On: Modern Air Combat

Another flight simulator – Lock On – doesn’t seem to get anything from the 512 megabytes of graphics memory on board the new RADEON X800 XL.

The same is true for the 4x FSAA mode. Both RADEON X800 XL cards deliver the same performance and are slower than the NVIDIA GeForce6 solutions and the topmost RADEONs.

It is only in the “extreme quality” mode that there’s difference between the two versions of the RADEON X800 XL, but the speed bonus is no more than 5-7%.
