Sweet benching now!

Dug, I received your files. In your framerate file, the first 5 or 6 entries were 200fps to 700fps so I removed them. I don't know if you hit Fraps capture a bit too early. It also skewed the Avg. framerate result. take a look and you'll see what I mean. So min max avg has been calculated after removing those first few entries to where it begins to look like normal capture. Results page updated with min max avg, and framerate graph.

Cheers mate, I intentionally started early and finished a bit late, i thought that was better than trying to consistently get them manually lined up when it started/finished (and I thought, as you have seen, that it was easy to see that in the data, but I also didn't want to tamper with the files)

Nope, just wanted to let you know that I saw that and wanted to tell you what I was doing. Your chart has been updated showing stock and o/c on same line graph. Pretty cool.

Gratzi!! :biggrin:

Just sent in three games, Metro, Mafia 2, and Dirt 2.

Great! Working on them now. You could give single 460 (SLI off) if you want to see the kind of scaling you are getting graph over graph.

Thanks!!

I just installed the Cat 10.8 and 10.8a app. All I can say is awesome. I will get you some benchmark data tonight, but as of right now, I got over a 100% boost for Crysis using this update. I started not to participate because my benchmarks were so bad on the 10.7 and 10.6 drivers. I was getting about 30fps, now about 65 averge. I will upload the benches late tonight. Keys, can you pm me the areas you want benchmarked in Crysis, dirt 2 and BF BC2?

@ Keysplyr
Hmm, I may do that, I have a feeling scaling is gonna be pretty darn good for these cards. Let me give you SLI benches first, then I will see if I can get you the other ones later.

Sounds good James, thanks!! Best to coordinate with Annisman and Dug to see areas they benched.

Sounds good to me. Have fun!!

In Dirt 2 I benched a short race in 'Baja' map, no other cars I should point out, just a time race or something like that. In Crysis I say we bench the very first level, in fact for just about every game, I think it should be as close to the first level as possible, because though I do have many games, not all have been played recently,or at all, so sometimes I can only start from the beginning anyways. Thoughts ?

Oh and BFBC2 should maybe just the first level of the SP campaign.

 

[james1701]

sounds good, i will start getting some results up in little while. I was surprised I did not get a jump in 3dMark Vantage though.

 

[james1701]

Benchmarks emailed. All settings 1920x1200, and highest settings without phsyx. All video cards at stock settings.

 

[Annisman*]

Just benched Crysis, first mission, started recording as soon as you jump out of the plane, stopped as soon as Jester jumps down from the rocks to join you. Takes about 5 minutes to get there.

Hey James, thanks. One thing though. All the files you sent are just minmaxavg. This doesn't really tell the whole story so I need "fps" checked in FRAPS FPS tab along with "minmaxavg" in order to create a line graph for your performance numbers. Make sure that is checked. Each benchmark run should create two files. 1 minmaxavg, and 1 fps. Two individual .csv files. Forget frametimes checkbox, don't need that.

Added! Thanks!

ok, will rerun.

Got it! Are you running stock clocks or o/c'd on your CPU and Graphics Cards?
And I need the settings and resolutions you ran each bench at.

 

[james1701]

cpu is 4ghz, gpu's are stock clocks. 1920x1200 Everything except crysis and Metro had 4xAA, and no AF.

LOL James. Don't make me spoon feed you here!

Detailed settings for each game. Was Crysis set to High, Very High, Other?

Look at the results page to see what we need.

Good Job so far man. Lots o numbers!! But if you're getting such high numbers in Crysis for example, why not run the AA? Highest playable settings.

[Annisman*]

Personally, I think 4AA is the minimum for any game these days, and 16 AF, I mean, AF doesn't exactly hurt computers like it use to.

Wohooo, hold your horses!

You got a Rog ARES in your rig? DAMN thats sweet
