AquaMark3
is a powerful tool to determine reliable information about the gaming
performance of a computer system. Because the
benchmark extensively utilizes DirectX9, DirectX8 and DirectX7 functionality, it
represents the requirements of typical gaming applications in 2003 and
2004.
There's a
small CPU performance difference in AquaMark3 but overall score/framerate stays
about the same.
The
Comanche 4 benchmark demo is a unique benchmark as it represents a real-world
gaming experience. It contains the single player "Eagle's Talon" mission from
the game as well as a detailed cinematic. This DirectX 8.1 benchmark demo will
measure your system's performance in the standard frames per second format. The
benchmark was run with audio disabled.
There
should be no surprise that all motherboards score about the same at stock
speeds. Overclocking boosts framerates just a bit.
