It seems that virtually all of the sites that review videocards use either
standard 3D benchmarks or use Quake 3, Unreal, or some other first person
shooter to asess framerates. This can lead you to expect similar framerates
with other games such as racing sims, but it has been my recent experience that
Quake 3 and Unreal will run extremely fluidly and fast on almost any system or
videocard (60 to 120 frames per second), while many racing sims will bog down
even 1 GHZ + super systems to barely 30 frames per second at times.
Does any site review videocards with racing sims, to anyones knowledge ?

There will be an article on "The Pits" soon which will "sort of" do
this, but it's not a vid card review as such, but it was quite
interesting doing the article and see the variation in 3DMark2000 score
between different vidcard/CPU combos, and then see the performance in
MBTR and NHeat

Beers and cheers

I've come across several hardware tests now that use Mercedes-Benz Truck
Racing. Don't remember which, could be www.anandtech.com
