@HD7950 users: Could you quickly post what drivers you use and which options you have in CCC?
FYI:
- Catalyst 13.2 Beta 5
- AA and AF "Application controlled"
- AA mode "Multisampling" and Edge-detect
- Optimization ON
- Catalyst A.I. "Quality" (think it's that...the higest value)
- Vsync "On, unless specified by application"
- Triple buffering ON
In Overdrive:
- Power control +20%
- OCed at 1150/1450
Just want to know your settings so I can compare and run more tests!
Vsync should always be set to Off in CCC when benchmarking. Otherwise the scores could be invalid.
That might be it, but I'm not entirely convinced. Rhezuss had mentioned that to me before, but I didn't think it would matter because the benchmark would never be above 60fps, so he'd never be capped at 60 as he might in a game. Plus, he was scoring close to 40fps in the non-HD present. Could it be that what's happening in the HD preset is that it's actually reading the FPS as capped at half VSYNC - 30fps, even though he wasn't capped at 30 in the lesser preset?
Rhezuss, this is the first thing you should check when you have the chance.
By the way, the Crossfired 5850s above really do well in this benchmark. While my HD7870 benches in 3dMark11 almost identically to my old 5850@850/1200 duo, it wouldn't be close in Unigine benchmarks.
Any thoughts on why Unigine doesn't perform that well on GCN?
