Take a look here

http://wiki.x-plane.com/Timedemo_and_Framerate_Test

I think I used 921 with –fps_test=1, –fps_test=2 and –fps_test=3.

May I know the specs so that I may run it on my system? Thanks.

Since the NV card is primary, the only ATI drivers I used in this setup are theones that ship with the latest OS X patch – and they are fine!

I am using the same MacPro as you, 8-core, 6GB and 8800 with 512MB. I ordered that after my 20″ iMac for best results at the frames. But according to the hardware I was not so happy with the framerate. I thought I should have been more. Even when there are a lot of clouds around my frames still drop down to the lowest. I never tried it out in WindowsXP, wich is also installed here on a second harddrive.
Andreas
