AquaMark3 Performance – No AA/AF

We continue to use AquaMark for the reason that it employs the use of pixel shader 2.0, and is based on a real-world gaming engine. All of the various settings we ran were configured via the application.

The scores for the non AA and AF scores are somewhat of what we saw in our past Mobility Radeon 9600 and GeForce FX Go5650 head to head. Even with AA or AF, the Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro takes a comfortable 68% and 64% lead, respectfully.

    No offence, but bad review.

    The Voodoo was put up against no real competition, so of course it won. Why did anandtech not bother with getting a Sager 5680 or 8890 to compare with, since those are P4 machines with real 9600 pros....

    1) Is it hard to have the product in question (ie, the one being reviewed) highlighted in some way on the graphs? It can't be that hard to do the bar in red or whatever. Granted, when comparing the M10 to the Go5650, there's not as much sense, but when comparing 10 or so CPU's it'd sure be nice to quickly identify what stands where.

    2) Should the X2 performance scores with 4xAA/8xAF be taken with a grain of salt? Why does the M10 increase approx 25% going from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 ... ?
