Aquamark 3 Performance
Aquamark is based on the game Aquanox, and has been widely used among the community to compare performance on DX 9.0 hardware. Even though the benchmark may be more popular than the game, this is still game code.
The GeForce 6800 Ultra is about 36% faster than the 9800 XT in this case, showing that it can handle the AquaNox shaders fairly well. Not all that impressive, for its first test considering all the advancements made to the shaders. Slightly interesting is the fact that the CPU and GPU scores in the benchmark were nearly identical.

looks awesome congrats to nvidia on raising the bar!personally i don't game very much, and the only reason my Geforce2 was replaced was for the dual-heads of the Radeon 9000
but as an enthusiast, any leaps make me excited :p
can't want to see ATIs new cards

Damn, two independant cable lines and a 480W PSU. Good thing it kills in performance, but still too pricey for me. Bring on the 6800XT for us broke people :P.KristopherKubicki - Wednesday, April 14, 2004 - link
