AquaMark is another DirectX 8 benchmark. Using
vertex shaders, any card that is DirectX8 compatible will not just have a huge
speed boost, the image will also look better. Default test has 24 MB worth of
textures.

At
lower resolutions the TI4200 is able to keep up with the Ti4600. Overclocked boosts
its performance above the Ti4600 level.

At higher
resolutions though it seems to be a different story. It seems the memory
bandwidth is more important at the higher resolutions since the overclocked
Ti4200 can't really keep up.
