AquaMark3 and X² - The Threat
AquaMark3- Author: Massive
- DirectX Class: 9.0
- Pixel and Vertex Shaders: Yes (mixed mode, PS1.4 and PS2.0)
- FSAA and AF set via application
AquaMark3 clearly prefers ATI's cards when image quality is taken into account. MSI's GeForce FX 5950 Ultra suffers a bigger-than-expected drop as soon as AA and anisotropic filtering is applied, but then manages to close the gap at the highest quality and resolution setting.
X² - The Threat
- Author: Egosoft
- DirectX Class: 9.0
- Pixel and Vertex Shaders: Yes (unknown versions or amount of effects)
- FSAA and AF set via control panel
X² - The Threat also performs a little better on ATI cards. More important that slight benchmark deviations is the rock-solid stability of every card on test. MSI's didn't flinch once in our battery of GPU-taxing tests.
