I'm kinda curious what type of performance we can expect to see from this 3d chipset in our flightsims...
(http://www4.tomshardware.com/graphic/01q2/010425/index.html)
considering that this 3d chip generates its performance advantage through extreme Z axis optimization and all flight sims generally involve a fairly large amount of z rendering.
The z-optimization method the card uses, involves a pre-processing of the z-buffer... because flight sims won't present much of an opportunity to streamline any Z axis renderings my initial guess is that this card won't fair too well in an expansive flight sim environment.... any input?...
I've seen plenty of benchmarks for the card and I'm well aware of the results in a 32bit high resolution environment, but the benchmarks were generally performed in FPS's where there are plenty of opportunities for z-optimization.... I was wondering if anyone had seen a site providing flight sim benchmarks for this card...
I have an inclination to believe that this card won't perform too well in flight sims..
