Does any site test videocards using Racing Sims ?

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 (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://members.prestige.net/bttw/teammirage/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com
