Codecreatures

The Codecreatures benchmark is written with Microsoft's DirectX 8.1 API and incorporates the use of Vertex and PixelShaders popular on next generation 3D accelerators.

The benchmark plays a photo-realistic nature scene and calculates the performance of the graphics adapter by measuring the fps that it can display at 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 resolutions. The score is a geometric mean of those three resolutions called the Codecreatures number.

For this Benchmark we offer the average FPS results of each card in the following resolutions: 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200.

From this chart the dominance of the R9800 XT is evident. In all resolutions the R9800 XT was 3 FPS better than the second R9800 Pro Ultimate. Third comes the Asus 5900GE and last the FX 5900 XT.

The codecreatures number is the resulting score of the total benchmarking process.

The Same picture here as with the previous chart. This benchmark corresponds better to the reality and the results are much alike with those we had with 3Dmark. But let's see the cards' performance regarding the OpenGL graphical interface.
