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 
being a DirectX8 benchmark is a good indicator of DX8 performance and as we can see, at 1024x768 performance is 
pretty good. Overclocking doesn't seem to boost performance much.

As the 
resolution is raised we see the videocard start to slow down. Overclocking seems 
to bring a 10% performance boost.
