AquaMark3 is available to everyone now! Get it , install, test your system, then post your results.

This is the first test, AquaMark3 "Score Measurement" on my system No. 1. Video card set at 320MHz core/310 memory.

(After you run the test, AquaMark3 will dump three data files in My Computer/My Documents. Some of you guys will have hours of fun deciphering all the details.)

    Tested again at 340/310. Raised score by 1167 points.

    What, no replies? Hmm, y'all must be downloading it about now. :)

    I got a low score when I ran it yesterday, like 19.3K or so.

    Ah, don't worry about scores. This is not intended to be a show-off thread (nothing wrong with that, though). I just thought this would be interesting for a few reasons:

    1) New, interesting benchmark designed specifically to test a system's readiness for new games.

    2) Great gamers' benchmarking program.

    3) It's fun to run.

    4) FutureMark Corp. (previously Mad Onion) could use some competition. That are not the only game in town - pardon the pun.

    Let's see how the different cards stack up against each other. This is not for bragging rights, but for knowledge. Supposedly, AquaMark3 primarily tests the video card, with the the influence of the variables of system memory and CPU greatly reduced.

    This is System 1, taken at default stock speeds.

    XP 2500 @ 2212
    ATI 9700 Pro 330/330

    I like the fact that this benchmark does not take forever to run like 3DMark2001 does.

    OK, why are the other 9700 pro's here faster than mine? Because mine is not a true 9700, but just a soft mod?

    Well I don’t have a screenshot of the results, but I do have this: http://arc.aquamark3.com/arc/arc_view.php?runID=278858076

    Apparently pretty damn good for a Ti4600. Going by the compare results, (approximate CPU speed, any GPU/mem speed) I've got the 6th highest score. The reason for this may be because they are using vid drivers much more recent than mine.

    I'll post my score tomorrow. 360/360 9700 and 2.3GHz AXP on a 225FSB.

    Leo, I'm guessing that you should be in the low 40K's with your setup. I'd suspect that the softmod is currently not 100% effective. Did ATI nullify the effects of the softmod with the latest driver release? Anybody?

    Run at stock clocks:

    P4 2.4C w/ HT Enabled
    Asus P4C800-E
    512 MB XMS3700 3-4-4-7
    Sapphire Atlantis 9800, BIOS-modded to 9800 Pro (380/340).
    200 FSB / 400 Mem / 66 AGP / 33 PCI
    Windows XP Pro SP1
    ATI Catalyst 3.7

    I'm very surprised Spinner didn't push 40,000 as he's got a 9800 Pro as well on a much faster CPU than mine (AXP 3200+).

    I'll try a little later with the Catalyst 3.8's and see how that goes.

    Ill post a screen shot when I do a reboot and shut down everything.
    Much faster program then 3dmark

    with lots of stuff running in the background i pushed 33700, let me reboot and run it again (cause i ran 3dmark after, and my scores were quite low)

    Some incredibly varied scores :buck:

    Il download this later and see what I get (not sure I really want to know but..)

    Spinner & Simguy :respect:

    It is good to see a different benchmark utility to 3dmark. It's become such a staple but the differences in scores here are calculated alot wider than 3dmark. Makes it quite fun :)

    This is my P4-M 1.4 Ghz with 64 MB Ti4200 Go.

    Win2k SP3
    Old Dets (something in the 45.x series).


    Seems to perform about where expected for the GFX (a little under the ti4200 above) but my CPU score kicks some ass considering the clock speed. Somehow it beats out a Barton @ 2.2 Ghz. Maybe its the cache (1 MB) or something causing really high scores because that's pretty wierd. On Folding a such it performs near an XP 2100+ @ stock.

    Actually, I'm running the Omega 2.4.74a drivers. Come to think of it, I've read somewhere that the Omegas supposedly render better quality, but that benchmarking scores fall. As far as the soft mod goes, Windows and 3DMark03 indicate the card to be a "9700 Pro". Hmm.:scratch:

    Here's mine with my setup.
    My graphics drivers are the 4403's

    In the last test, with that explosion, it was as slow as 0.5 fps!!

    I wonder what factor of these benchmarks is causing Intel machines to get a higher CPU score than a similarly performing AMD?

    Also, it seems to be highly weighted toward DX9... the DX8 hardware is scoring MUCH lower.

    I got an even worse score on my desktop! Wtf gives!

    8544

    That's an AthXP overclocked to 1700mhz and a Sapphire Radeon 9000

    Why why why?

    Prime, I highly suspect that something is seriously skewed in AquaMark's rating of processors here... :banghead:

    Maybe they received a little $$$bribey$$$ from Intel? :mad2:

    I think you may be right.
    /me thinks that it should become an invalid benchmarking program since it is biased towards Intel.

    My rig gets an AquaMark3 score of 43,453

    Not too bad - There are similar systems to mine getting far beyand that score with some serious overclocking.
