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.
Here at
1024x768 we see that the Gigabyte GV-R96X128D gives playable frame rates and
performs about the same as the Albatron GeForceFX 5600 Ultra.
At the
higher resolutions, Gigabyte's mainstream videocard cannot really handle
AquaMark.
