Try my new benchmark!

[JPB]

14 fps...never changed...rig in sig

 

[Acanthus]

So you made a benchmark that arbitrarily says nothing at all about the actual cards performance.

Hmm...

 

[DeathReborn]

14fps, Main Rig (X1800XT @ 675/1560) same on the Backup Rig (same clocks).

Ran it on my sisters 7800GT (500/1200) and got 12fps.

 

[the Chase]

Got 18 fps at gaming clocks in sig- X1800XT- got 19 fps at 801/913. Neat looking benchie munky. Can't wait for the rest. Except I only have a single core CPU. 🙁

Is this using the new version?

hey what cpu does your sisters rig have? I have a 7800gt overclocked 550/1350 and I couldn't break 8fps.

She's got a X2 4200 (stock).

@munky, the orignal link you put. Will run the updated version and compare.

Edit: X1800XT (675/1560) went to 17fps, 7800GT (500/1200) went down to 11fps using current version.

 

[Munky]

Using the built in benchmark from the new version, x1900xt gets ~25.4 fps avg. 49 fps if it's just sitting in the initial view.

 

[rbV5]

23fps Croosfire enabled or not.

Its using 50% of my dual core CPU. The clocks on my X1800 cards are staying at 2D clockspeed.

 

[the Chase]

New version- 14.1 fps avg. - 30 fps initial. Does the new version include CPU testing?

 

[CP5670]

Cool stuff, I'm a math student and into this specific area. 🙂

Anyway, it stays between 44 and 46 fps for me in the initial view and anywhere between 36 and 60 if I move/zoom around.

[edit] the built in benchmark gives 34 something.

 

[Munky]

There's no cpu test yet. I'm working on it.

 

[Munky]

I just noticed my card also stays at 2d clocks when running this app, monitored by Rivatuner. Weird...

 

[rbV5]

I'm only seeing my core temps raise a couple degrees as well, and then after it runs a bit. Seems like its using the CPU quite a bit based on the graph in task manager but not so much the GPU core based on the temp increase?

 

[Munky]

Seeing a high cpu usage is just the nature of the windows message loop in the app. I've seen other gpu-intensive apps like RTHDRIBL also load a cpu core to 100%. But all my other 3D OGL apps also get detected correctly by the driver and get the card to switch to 3d clocks. I must be doing something differently in this app that it doesnt get the driver to switch clocks.

 

[Munky]

Damn, now you guys are gonna be really pissed. 😛 I fixed the bug that was preventing the x1k cards from switching to 3d clocks, and now a x1900xt gets 62fps at the initial screen, and ~32fps avg in the benchmark test. The fixed version is uploaded.

 

[Munky]

Also, let me know what happens to the fps if you zoom in to the inside black part until the whole screen is dark. That's the most stressful part of the fractal because each pixel loops the maximum number of iterations and there's no early branching from the loop. On a x1900xt the fps drops to 17. Let me know what happens on other cards, especially the Nv cards since they don't seem to do so well when branching out of the loop, and this might even out the playing field a bit.

 

[thilanliyan]

Get 25fps with the card at the clocks in my sig when I first open it up.

If I try to zoom in the the fps goes to 6-7fps.

does this fix the other cards too? I noticed while playing with my overclock that it didn't affect it at all in the 3d clocks.

I have a 7800gt

 

[F1shF4t]

well, my 7800gt gets 9
and the 6600gt gets 5

It would seem the 7800gt should be better than that.

Ya so far I don't see this benchmark doing anything but pimping the x1k series of ATI.

 

[Exsomnis]

23fps now with my system at stock, I am going to re-clock everything later and see how it fares then.

It just happens that the x1k cards run it better, I'm using the standard mandelbrot algrithm, so I didnt optimize it for those cards or anything like that. I'll have to add a multipass SM2 path to see if it helps the other cards.

I don't think that you made it just for the ATI cards, just that this benchmark favors them quite significatly. I hope you get it working better with the other cards.

Cheers for creating a benchmark I could not do such things.

You must have a nice OC on that xtx. 30% faster than a stock xt?

No overclock actually..

I goes straight to 40fps and pretty much pegged.. I will run it again with the updated one.
