Moving on to some OpenGL entertainment, we have Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.  We used the speed and quality settings from within the game to define the level of detail for us.

So far the trend seems to continue.  Let's move on to another OpenGL game, Return to Castle Wolfenstein.  Using the Guru3D's Checkpoint demo we measured performance under the 'normal' setting with the exception of the screen resolution being set to 1024x768.

Code Creatures is a synthetic bench that can bring most systems to their knees.  Again, let's visit both cards at 1024, 1280 and 1600 resolution.

Rounding things out is AquaMark v3 which will give us a peak at Direct X9 performance.
