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.

AquaMark
being a DirectX8 benchmark is a good indicator of DX8 performance and as we can see, at 1024x768 performance is
pretty good. Overclocking doesn't seem to boost performance much.

As the
resolution is raised we see the videocard start to slow down. Overclocking seems
to bring a 10% performance boost.
