ATI Radeon 9600XT (/w NV36)

Review: ATI Radeon 9600XT (/w NV36)

Aquamark 3

Author: Massive
DirectX Class: 9.0
Pixel and Vertex Shaders: Yes (mixed mode, PS1.4 and PS2.0)

Using the Professional version of Aquamark 3, you can run the benchmark with no textures applied; all polys are coloured depending on the shader version used to apply detail. The number of PS2.0 class shaders might not be massive in Aquamark 3, but the 9600XT is comfortably faster than its rival.

Notes

No apparent rendering issues on any card, bar a possible very slight shader precision bug on the NV36 during the High Particle Count test. Banding is apparent on the enviroment mapped box head above the pipe that is spewing the particles. It doesn't appear on 9600XT.
