Decided to do some benchmarking on my old Radeon 9000 Pro vs. my new Radeon 9800 Pro (thanks ThunderSnake).

I was really surprised at the performance difference!

Cant get timg tags to work for some reason...

Why? In this case all is pretty clear if you'd compare cards specs

I remember that there was a thread that member Zen.state started. Were GPU benchmarks were discussed. Is it now ok, to do benchmarks with Openmark? He was given a lot of critic answers by others, for using this Benchmark, I remember. So, how things do change...

(oh, here is another one using OpenMark, though one find's Intel and PPC mixed here https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/360875/

Zen is the reason I use OpenMark. I like it because it relies only on the GPU performance. Thats OK in my books...
