The AquaMark benchmark is currently the most complex 3D gaming test available. This can be seen from the fact that even without anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, there are few differences between processors.
Obviously the test routines are so complex that the performance of the graphics card - even a GeForce 6800 GT -- is the limiting factor. The AquaMark test is a good indicator of the CPU performance with current 3D games but should not be used as the only decision criterion. Therefore in the following pages we report further tests with current and older 3D games.
