AquaMark 2.3	Source: Massive

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.

AquaMark 1024x768
	Video Card	FPS	Ranking
1.	Radeon 8500	50
2.	MSI GF4 Ti4600	67.1
3.	Gainward GF4 Ti4600	66.6
4.	Gainward GF4 Ti4600 oc'ed	71.9

Again as with 3DMark, the GeForce 4 Ti4600's leave the Radeon 8500 way behind. Overclocking the Ti4600 nets a healthy performance gain. Let's see how things turn out at higher resolutions.

AquaMark 1600x1200
	Video Card	FPS	Ranking
1.	Radeon 8500	28.6
2.	MSI GF4 Ti4600	32.9

The same trend appears here as well, however the higher the resolution, the more the videocards are maxing out.
