Benchmarks: AquaMark, DroneZ
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.

The MSI has a slight performance lead at 1024x768 probably due to
the 10 MHz higher memory clock.

Finally
overclocking does bring a noticeable performance boost. 1600x1200 seems just a
little out of reach even for the might Ti4600 in terms of playable frame
rates.
DroneZmarK is a next-generation OpenGL benchmark /
rolling demo exploiting the latest in hardware technology (namely the GeForce 3
and Pentium 4 chips). DroneZmarK has been realized taking a lot of gameplay
scenes from DroneZ and assembling them together in the nGenius 2 to provide a
stunning rolling demo (non-interactive) of the game.

It's not
surprising that the Albatron and the MSI at stock speeds perform about the same. Overclocking
seems to bring a 7-8% across the board.
