The iMac Pros handily beat both Mac Pros in all three X-Plane 11 tests. X-Plane 11.11v2 running FPS test 5,4 (best quality with fog) using 'test_flight_c4.fdr' replay (cockpit view). X-Plane 11.11v2 running FPS test 3 (high quality) using 'test_flight_c4.fdr' replay (cockpit view).

X-Plane 11.11v2 running FPS test 1 (lowest quality) using 'test_flight_c4.fdr' replay (cockpit view). NMP 8-core - 2013 Mac Pro 3.0GHz 8-Core Xeon E5-1680 v2 CP, 64GB of 1866MHz of DDR3 ECC SDRAM, dual AMD FirePro D700s (6GB each) GPUs (though only one used by X-Plane) display was the LG UltraFine 5K connected to a Thunderbolt 2 portĬMP 12-core - 2010 Mac Pro 3.33GHz 12-Core Xeon X5680, 96GB of 1333MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM, AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition (16GB) GPU with DisplayPort connected to a Dell 5K display. IMac Pro 8-core - 2017 iMac Pro 3.2GHz 8-Core Xeon W-2140B CPU, 32GB of 2666MHz DDR4 ECC SDRAM, AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64 (16GB) GPU IMac Pro 10-core - 2017 iMac Pro 3.0GHz 10-Core Xeon W-2150B CPU, 64GB of 2666MHz DDR4 ECC SDRAM, AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64 (16GB) GPU (Special thanks to Angelique van Campen, publisher of X-Plained, for her input and participation.) We wanted to see how well it performed on the iMac Pro compared to two Mac Pros and top spec iMac 5K. X-Plane 11 is a serious flight simulator.
