Ahhh cool, the developpers of Unigine engine have released a new tech demo that can also be used as a benchmark. The demo supports all modern graphical APIs: DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and OpenGL. Both Windows and Linux version are available.

Excellent demo.
Unfortunately DX9 mode doesn’t work under Vista64 (XP32 is OK)
D3D9Texture::create(): can’t create RGBA16F cube texture
They could have used their crabs for “crowd scene rendering” 😀

Too bad, my 8600 GTS doesn’t seem to like it… Even in 640*480 windowed mode, I am not above 20-30 FPS !
After checking misc. DX9 apps, it appeared that “shader model 3” had vanished on my rig, thus requiring a repair install of Vista64.
Sorry for confusion.
