    WHATS UP WITH 3d11!!??

    in HWBOT Development: bugs, features and suggestions

    Posted

    actually Vinbo i used to think the same thing about 05 as you, it certainly has a large "whoever tests the most cpus wins" type element to it, but it also has alot of room to move in tweaking,

     

    each to their own, but for me, for a benchmark to be worth running, i need to get some benefit if i invest my time into tweaking it, with both heaven and 11 there isnt much there, sure heaven has a few little quirks we can use to get a few points.. but 11 is fairly tight like vantage.. both have a few things, but nothing in the realms of 3d01, 03, 05, etc..

     

    that being said, im not a big heaven fan and would like to see 11 being benched, but why not pick 11 x, that way we have a benchmark that at least for a while is going to be predominantly GPU power.. then we have a genuine benchmark that you need some 4-way handling skills and requires heavy GPU power.. lets face it 4-way vantage is totally driven by CPU power now, you can have 4 average GPU's and a great CPU and take WR..

    theres no way xp is faster than w7/vista in transparent windows.. its only if you dont enable Aero or are usign a GPU that doesnt support it,

     

    xp has always been faster in a bunch of those system based tests, so that doesnt surprise..

     

    the only thing that pops up at me in the face when i look at this score is the audio encoder being out of line with other people on the same setup... my only though it perhaps a recent futuremark patch has enabled something that helps audio encoder in xp? like it did bringing video encoding up.. i always hate to speculate without testing though..

     

    other than audio, score looks good though..

    PCMark05: Pixel Shader test?

    in General overclocking

    powertoy doesnt impact pixel shader..

     

    i dunno i think its not a problem right, maybe these guys just know something the rest of us dont..

     

    i notice most of these are sandy except for the 8600, has anyone tested if sandy is just faster at pixel shader than x58? i dunno i will play pixel shader later this week..
