FS-X Benchmarks of current gen cards?

8Pack, could do a set of benchmarks for FS-X using say a 7950 and a equiv nVidia card?

Looking to buy a new GPU up to the £300 mark but none of the current gen cards have been benchmarked in FS-X, or at least not in a controlled fashion leading to useless results.

Would it be possible for you to generate some FS-X benchmarks?

I'm sure there are a few budding flight sim fans here that would also like to know!!

Yeah its possible to do that. I will be doing new R290X against Titan for sure. So I can add 7950 or the similar perf new card.

Thanks, In the past nVidia cards tend to have had a performance advantage. So a 7950/R280X (or whatever the 7950 replacement is!) and a 760 GTX would be great.

[This card is going in my Mac Pro, which is limited to 2x6-Pin, hence the 7950 /760 rather than the 7970!]

I know this will sound stupid but never really trusted them, however would 6-8 and 8-6 be safe?

Rather not risk burning out my £2k Mac Pro for a few % of performance
