Here's a small app kegetys made that I figured someone else may find some use for too. It is basically a simple and rough Direct3D download & upload bandwidth test, which tells you something about SoftTH performance (It is by no means a perfect test for general SoftTH performance but it can give you some indication about how, for example, adjusting bios settings or overclocking the card(s) affect the bus bandwidth).

That is with the 8800GTS overclocked to 700/1755/980MHz core/shader/mem and the 8400GS at 450/918/350MHz core/shader/mem on a Gigabyte X38-DQ6 with 110MHz PCI-E bus clock.
