I am curious, could someone try a 5900 with older drivers to compare them to the 51.75 and 52.10 to see what sort of legit PS speed improvments have gone on? TIA!

 

[Snyder]

Looks promising. I tried the benchmark-mode with my R9700Pro and got these results:

shader 20 (                                High Dynamic Range Shader (cross blur)):	  46 fps	 21.9641 mspf	     228 rendered frames
shader 21 (                             High Dynamic Range Shader (gaussian blur)):	  49 fps	 20.2429 mspf	     247 rendered frames

Strange. I tested it with the R9700Pro as well and got almost identical results except for the 2 shaders above, where I get 35 and 38 fps, which is quite a drop.
Could the reason for this difference be that I'm using the latest Omega drivers?

405Mhz Core (7.15% OC)
371Mhz Memory (5.7% OC)

Could you re-run your tests at standard clocks? That would be very helpful on a couple fronts.

When I get home I'll declock and run it again.

Well, I got the same results as Miksu, but there could be an issue with the Cat 3.7 drivers as stated in the document:

the HDR shader (20 and 21) may have an issue with the Microsoft’s Reference Rasterizer or current ATi drivers (Catalyst 3.7), because of this it should not be used for image comparisons at the moment.

Yep. This is definitely shader limited. Look at Nebuchadnezzar's scores vs mine. At 400Mhz (default RV350 clock) vs 405Mhz (R350), my scores double his down the line almost perfectly, and the increase from xtreme32's stock clock 9800 Pro to mine lines up perfectly with the core increase.

Nice. Looks like HL2 is not Valve-futzing-with-Nvidia-in-favor-of-ATI as some conspiracy theorists have proclaimed as of late.

 

[xtreme2k]

Guys I think CAT 3.7 has some problems with the HDR renderings even with the RTHDRIBL demo.

With Cat 3.4 I get very low (~10%) cpu utilisation abd 12 fps 1280x1024 windowed but with Cat 3.7 I get 99% CPU utilisation and only 9fps.

 

[Natoma]

There is a good indication of this being a nice shader limited benchmark. All of the OC Radeon scores about within about 6%-7% fater than the non-overclocked scores. (Which corresponds nicely with the 7% core overclock).

Two exceptions:

Tests 20 and 21 show about 25% increase in score on the overclocked machine. Those tests may be showing memory footprint limitations. (Extra 128 MB on the overclocked radeon may be helping.)

This bodes well for Half Life 2 when implementing HDR.

[Joe DeFuria]

This bodes well for Half Life 2 when implementing HDR.

Perhaps, but at this point, we should probably ignore tests 20 and 21 for the moment, given the comments about them in the (release?) document for Shadermark.

I'm not sure how tests 20 and 21 can have issues with the reference rasterizer as well as Cat 3.7s...and not be an application issue.

Hyp-X,

Is that a 256MB 9800 Pro you've got? If it is, that would explain why your scores in the HDR benches corrolates with mine rather than the other 128MB 9800 Pro scores.

 

[Tim]

I am curious, could someone try a 5900 with older drivers to compare them to the 51.75 and 52.10 to see what sort of legit PS speed improvments have gone on? TIA!

I second that, I would really like to see how the Det50 compares to the Det40s.

You can find a lot of the results here :

The first benches for example are from an OC Radeon 9800Pro @ 420/350 MHz

It will be interesting to see how effective the Anticheat detection is with Nvidias encypted drivers.

Hyp-X,

Is that a 256MB 9800 Pro you've got? If it is, that would explain why your scores in the HDR benches corrolates with mine rather than the other 128MB 9800 Pro scores.

Make sure you are running your direct3d's setting texture preference and mipmap level is at 'High Quality'. It is because I find myself with your HDR score if I lower my quality as well.

The Shader 20 and 21 are very sensitive to the onboard memory size, because they use large 16 bit fp render targets. Maybe future driver could improve this situation, but I'am not sure.

The problem is if i lower my mipmap and and texture preference in my display control panel is that I get exactly the same score as they do on a 256MB card.

So I just wana make sure this is a MEMORY issue or just a display setting issue.
