i'm curious as to what framerates Fermi owners are getting for the Fairlight/CNCD demo Agenda Circling Forth: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=54603





here's what i have:

red = radeon 6950 modded to 6970;
blue = radeon 5870

res: 1280x720



if anyone wants to pastebin FRAPs benchmarks of fermi, i'd be pretty greatful :eek: (also note if you're changing from stock vram/gpu speeds, please...)

Here you go :)

GTX 460 1Gb (core 845MHz, memory 2200MHz)
Same resolution as yours.

my friend used Office 2010... i was able to use OOo 3.3



quick and dirty... not sure if i can make it prettier like Office

edit: just an FYI, this seems pretty GPU-bound usually. i've seen CPU usage as low as 3%

edit2: notty, if you're talking "how do i get the data?" use the Benchmark tool. i just use FPS. data is in /fraps folder/benchmarks

I know where the results for fraps benchmarks end up.
I have open office calc 3.2 on my computer.
I have no experience generating charts /databases.

The results in my Fraps/benchmark folder are :
agenda 2011-04-21 09-53-07-65 fps.csv
agenda 2011-04-21 09-53-07-65 frametimes.csv
agenda 2011-04-21 09-53-07-65 minmaxavg.csv

Anyone know of a quick tutorial how to generate a chart with calc ?

would you mind copy/pasting it to pastebin.com or pastebin.ca, please?

as to how to make it, paste all numbers to a single column (i put the GPU name at the top), select numbers as well as the GPU name, then go Insert > Chart

So I'm guessing this demo is ~286+ seconds long? Give or take? I only ask so I can tell FRAPS to quit after so many seconds.

Anyway, here it is on GTX590. Multi GPU is not working though, so this is only one GPU.

This demo just provides some proof that the use of LSD/acid is still in full swing today.
Holy Lord. :D

How are the radeons able to do this? Or are the particle effects done by the cpu?

Didn't know there were any demo fans in the AT forum!

It runs like a slideshow at the end for me with my C2D E6600 and 9800GT's and this demo's a year old already.

It appears to be a DX9 demo so no nVidia OpenGL performance issues at all.

While making it or while watching it? For the former yeah I just assumed most creative people do at one time or another. As for the latter, well all I can say is... :sneaky:

Based on the GPU particle performance, I would have imagined that NV would 'smoke' the AMD GPU here. But the performance is a lot closer than I expected. Still a single GPU in the 590 is a lot slower than a full-fledged 580 and the 590 is already in the lead.
