3DMark 2001SE, 3DMark03, Aquamark 3

3DMark 2001SE

The fan's favourite first, 2001SE using the v340 patch.



The memory bus width and texturing advantages on the Gainward make themselves known here, comfortably outpacing the other GPUs on test.

3DMark03

2001SE's DX9 sibling, using Shader Model 2.0 shaders for some of the effects.



Given the NV35 base and the core and memory clocks on the 5900XT, its no surprise to see it outpace the other GPUs here too.

Aquamark 3



Aquamark 3 paints a different picture with the 9600XT keeping pace at our preferred median setting of 1024x768 with 4xAA and 8xAF. 5700 Ultra gets left behind.
