Official AquaMark 3 thread
 

Okay guys.

Discuss anything that has to do with AquaMark3 - The Reality Benchmark.

Just noticed at B3D's forums that someone had already benched fx5900u and Radeon 9800Pro with this. Radeon is leading by ~15%.

Interesing...and scary too :afro2:

Did they have the final version or a pre version of Aquamark 3? I'm wondering if these results are final ...

Scary indeed....40 fps with aa and af on a 9800 pro in 1024 by 768 ??? and 30 fps for 5900U on same settings? Good goly miss molly the present top gen cards are maxed out already?? bring on the next gen cards now! :p

Heheheh

MUYA

Alexander (Massive Development's MD) didn't want to comment whether those benchmarks are reliable or not.

For more authorative results, comments and analysis see here:

Also Wolfgang mentioned AM3 pushes about 2.5 times the shaders and polygons of a advanced DX9 game - namely Aquanox 2 - DX9 shader version.

So wait less than 3 days and see the results for yourself.

so... you got it already ? :D

Aquamark Score: 36233

Im not sure if thats low hm. Anyways they say 20,000+ is enoguh to play Aquanox2 at high deal smoothly, so i guess so.

Edit: Yeah, pretty cool.
Nice explosions :p

Scored 43000 with the setup in my sig.

Hm my score is unusually low then, im gonna rerun it, i get a feeling AA was being applied even though it was checked as app prefrence in the contorl panel.

I dont know why I downloaded it, I have, I dont have DX9 card

accept for the env.mapping on the ships it looks just like the game (only a lot slower) That explosion was Overkill, onpurpose though

and BTW, I couldnt submit the score. how 'bout you?

Thank you EnvyNews for the download, it's nice and quick. :)
