Semi-synthetic benchmarks

Aquamark3

There are few version 2.0 shaders in Aquamark 2 , mostly version 1.1 and 1.4 instead, so this benchmark suits but poorly for testing modern graphics cards. As you can see, the Radeon X1900 XTX and the Radeon X1800 XT do not differ much here. The GeForce 7800 GTX 512 still holds the first place; the GeForce 7 architecture, very fast at executing simple shaders, proves to be more efficient for this test.
