AquaMark
performance from the GV-NX66T128D is good, and its able to keep up even with the
higher end cards in the bunch. Again we see that nVidia's 6600GT gets a relative
performance increase as the resolutions increases, and the older cards begin to
drop back. Overclocking provided very little benefit here.
