Hardware review sites that use Flight Sim benchmarks?

Konovalov · 12-20-05, 10:53 AM

At present I am researching hardware for a new system as my current one (Athlon XP 1900+, 1024sdram, and GeForce 4 4400 128mb) is getting a bit long in the tooth. What hardware review sites use flight sims such as LOMAC and IL2 Forgotten Battles/Pacific Fighters to benchmark system/cpu/graphic card performance? I am tired of the reading thru the typical 1st person shooter benchmarks such as Doom 3/4 and so forth. Any help would be most appreciated.

Dont know if PCPOWERPLAY magazine can be brought in the UK but if it can then buy there lastest mag, every issue they have a page called "The Beast" where they detail HW for the reader on the best gaming rig out there to build. Very good info and they know what they're talking about.
