Aquamark3 uses DirectX9
features such as Pixel Shader 2.0 and a real world game engine to allow
users to test their system under heavy graphic load. Results can then
be uploaded to an online database and compared to other users systems.
The default benchmark runs at 1024x768x32 with no AntiAliasing and 4x
anisotropic filtering. Detail levels are set to maximum. The results
of this test are displayed as frames per second, triangles per second
and the main Aquamark3 TRISCORE. The TRISCORE shows the performance
of your CPU and GPU and finally gives your overall score for the benchmark.
As Aquamark is not prone to other processes affecting the scores it
provides reliable and comparable results.
At the default benchmark
settings for Aquamark3, another benchmark which uses DirectX 9 features
the 9800 just edges out the 5900 by 685 marks. Next: Shadermark2
