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
1024x768 we see that the Radeon 9800 Pro is just
slightly faster than the GeForceFX 5900 Ultra class cards.
As the
resolution gets higher we see that the Radeon 9800 Pro falls quite rapidly while
the GeForceFX 5900 Ultra based videocards perform better.
