Performance in Semi-Synthetic Benchmarks

Aquamark3

Aquamark3 benefits from higher fillrate of the GeForce 7900 GTX, but cannot take advantage of the GeCube Radeon X1900 XTX potential, because there are hardly any pixel shaders 2.0, not to mention 3.0 in this application. Moreover, even in test modes with FSAA, the benchmark doesn’t load the memory subsystem that much and ATI graphics cards cannot benefit from their ring bus memory controller. So, GeForce 7900 GTX once again proves that it is extremely well fitted for older games and benchmarks.
