Performance in Semi-Synthetic Benchmarks

Aquamark3

Aquamark3 has a fancy towards NVIDIA cards due to its complex geometry and a high overdraw coefficient. The test is most sensitive to the GPU frequency in the pure speed mode and ignores the higher memory clock rate of the overclocked WinFast A400 Ultra.

In the eye candy mode, however, the Leadtek profits more from the higher memory frequency. Overclocking helps it beat the RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition in the low resolution, but the competitor is better in higher resolutions due to efficient utilization of the graphics memory bandwidth.
