Codecreatures Benchmark Pro
First up is Codecreatures' Benchmark Pro. This test uses pixel and vertex shaders, and it can bring a GF4 Ti 4600 to its knees. Seems like an ideal candidate for testing a next-gen graphics chip.

Early on, the Parhelia outruns the Radeon 8500, but after that, it runs solidly in last place. Honestly, I kind of expected Parhelia's extra memory bandwidth to kick in and give it a boost at higher resolutions, but that just wasn't the case here.
