AquaMark3 and UT2003
AquaMark3- Author: Massive
- DirectX Class: 9.0
- Pixel and Vertex Shaders: Yes (mixed mode, PS1.4 and PS2.0)
The S8 doesn't do too badly in AquaMark3. Our image comparison showed little difference between the outputs of either card, and the DeltaChrome's performance at higher resolutions brings it to within touching distance of the 9800SE AIW. Vertex and Pixel 2.0 shading performance wasn't all that hot in 3DMark03. It's shown in a better light here.
UT2003
- Author: Epic
- DirectX Class: 8.1
- Pixel and Vertex Shaders: No
- Other: High resolution textures show massive detail when aniso. is applied
Ther performance in UT2003 is much better. Perhaps S3's Fast Triliear Filtering is the cause. We found there to be little difference in both cards' UT2003 quality, however. Certainly nothing that would cause alarm in a fast-moving game.
