Performance in Semi-Synthetic Benchmarks

Aquamark3

There are few complex shaders in Aquamark3 , but the test scene contains open environments, so fast memory would be welcome. The PowerColor Bravo X700 has slow memory and can only compete with the GeForce 6600. The PowerColor is a little faster than its opponent in the “eye candy” mode, but the standard RADEON X700 is still about 20% ahead.

This test depends greatly on the performance of the vertex processors and, accordingly, on the GPU clock rate. Both versions of RADEON X700 have the same GPU frequency, so there’s a minimal difference between them. The GeForce 6600 is on the losing side because of a lower GPU clock rate.
