ATI's Radeon 9500 Pro

Codecult's Codecreatures engine has been turned into a fairly interesting DirectX 8.1 benchmark. Without widespread use of the engine this test ends up being no better than a synthetic benchmark, but it's interesting to see the results to help get an idea for how these cards perform under intense DirectX 8.1 applications.

We finish off our usual suite of tests with Codecult's Codecreatures benchmark where there are no surprises. The Radeon 9500 Pro ends up falling behind the Ti 4200 by a good 20%.

This isn't indicative of real world performance as the engine isn't used in any of today's popular games however the standings are in line with what we've seen in other gaming benchmarks.
