OpenMark results on PowerPC Macs

Lol !! X800 beating a 7800gtx.. What a joke. Also no one ever commented on why overclocking results are the same as stock results...
I guess it's just that the higher clocks overpower them, ATI cards are very easy to overclock and mine, at least, can sustain a very high overclock, thanks god, it really inflates my e-penis <3
----------
Also, OpenMark is a *very* GPU based test, overclocking literally gave me a 25%+ performance increase over stock, and stable too, as long as memory isn't increased over 129% (or 159% on a Radeon 7500 on an eMac.)
*exactly* the same as my old 9600 XT in my G5, it's kinda weird really, that the same GPU scores exactly the same, but then again, overclocking does make a huge difference, so part of me says that this really must be a 99.9% GPU intensive test
----------
Also: if I've already addressed this, my apologies, but overclocked results are significantly higher than stock results, as expected, and with my FireGL GPU, still stable. As with the Radeon 7500 in my eMac, the memory clock is the main bandwidth restriction compared to the actual GPU clock
You really don't understand benchmarks if you think the same result on the same GPU is odd. Your lack of understanding is promoting ignorance.
And actually I just re-read this, you're totally wrong, my overclocking results scale up the score pretty linearly.
Good step up, you ever experimented with overclocking it a little with ATI Accelerator II?
I just noticed that no one has posted a score for the fx 5200 ultra (iMac G4 1.25Ghz)
Anyway it came up with
NVIDIA NV34MAP OpenGL Engine
1440x900x32
Score 1752
So not but bad but not as good as most of you PowerMac people with your big graphic cards.

Anybody got any benchmarks with a 512MB NVIDIA 7800? Especially the "Gainward Bliss" version.
Curious about performance. I'm considering about searching for an upgrade for the sake of my own ego, though I'd hate to give up another PCI slot.

This is interesting, I just put a 560Ti in the MP so I decided to run OpenMark again..

I think that our "I-have-largest-epenis"
friend meant 7800 AGP, that's why he used magical Gainward Bliss name.So, because my Gainward Bliss finally turned out to be G71 one and I sold it back, here is the score of aquamac's one: http://www.s155158671.websitehome.co.uk/gainwardbliss780.html
I wouldn't mind getting my hand on one of them and seeing how much speed I can squeeze out of it...I think that our "I-have-largest-epenis"
