lol i tried to set some setting on sp and it say i dont have enough vram and performance will degrade severely. i guess my bios modded pro/xt is showing it's (severe) age.
also no option to bench with retail game. currently dling mp demo.

My calculations say I should get about 45, but in reality, I got 38. Somethings wrong!

Your 7800gtx @ 500 gets lower fps than a 7800gt at 520? Something must be wrong with it. My benchmark says so...
Wow this is serious. :Q
I'm glad I managed to inspire a fellow primate to such an ingenious act that only could be broght on by evolution itself. :beer:
I think you need a new Avatar, Munky.
I will update my signature accordingly. I now fully endorse Munky Marks©.
Can I have a cut of the royalties?

Just a suggestion:
Munky I give you full permission to copy my poll and put it here. I'd be interested in seeing the results.
Have fun.

My card is just a big loser. lower 3DMark01 scores, lower 3DMark03 scores, lower F.E.A.R. scores, I should just go kill myself.

oh boy...gonna test out my x850xt
((520 * 16) + 540 * (256/16)) / 500 : 33.92
gonna test it now...

wow my actual AVG FPS is 37 :shocked:

7800GT 445/535 MHz score = ((445 * ((20 + 16)/2)) + (535 * (256/16))) / 500
score = 33.14
I don't have FEAR.
score = 33.14

munky, I am working on the program right now.
I edited the formula to add vertex pipelines to the equation, by adding them to pixel pipelines and pixel shaders, and dividing by 3. This works quite well.
The program is taking me so long because I am putting every single video card model from ATI (starting from 9000) and nVidia (starting from FX5200). This will take a hell of a lot of work, but in the end the user will be able to just choose their card from a combo box.
might take me a few days to do.
cheers

Will I be in the credits?
"Inspired by an AT thread originated by SickBeast"?
"Based on a true SickBeast Mark©"?
yes I will make an about button, and both munky and you will be in the credits.
YAY for entering pixel pipes, pixel shaders and vertex pipes for 80 video card models..

RAM should be a constant when comparing video cards.
In this case, its value should be (and is) = 1.
Sweet. We're actually doing something constructive in the video forum...
Also, does anyone have a 128mb card to test, like a 6600gt or equivalent? I'm curious how accurate the equation is for those cards.

Hey Munky,
I know they're becoming less relevant, but what about Vertex Shaders? You didn't seem to include them.

My major reason for not doing VS is because AFAIK modern cards are not limited by VS. But, if someone wants to improve on my formula, feel free to make it as complex as necessary.
