Posted November 27, 201212 yr So, now you can set LOD level with the latest Nvidia 310.xx drivers. - enable Sparse Grid Supersampling - set lod - higher 3DMark Vantage and 3DMark11 scores (~ 6% in Vantage it seems) Feel free to give feedback on performance gain - pretty interested in seeing how much you can gain from it . Have fun!
November 27, 201212 yr Author With GTX660: ~ 5.7% in 3DMark Vantage (especially rocking GT2) ~ 0.8% in 3DMark11 (LOD applied, but no effect)
November 27, 201212 yr I don't know, seems to hurt perf. the higher u go in quad vantage. Maybe needs fine tuning. They need something better in 11 tho to compete with AMD cheating tesselation. Don't think this is it.
November 27, 201212 yr Author Seems like it's only working in single card dx10 at the moment. DX11 is the same, quad is lower. Maybe wait for another driver ...
November 27, 201212 yr GTX660TI and 3770K both stock 310.33 Lod = 0 Vantage = 30091 3DM11 = 9116 Lod = 15 Vantage = 32712 3DM11 = 9267
November 27, 201212 yr I did some tests with Unigine Heaven DX11 ... the score goes down about 20% ' at the moment is a very great bonus only for Vantage
December 1, 201212 yr Hi guys! Do we need Windows 8 to play with Dx 10 LOD? I can't find no way to make it work with W7
December 1, 201212 yr now figure out how to actually turn off ambient occlusion as the option doesnt do jack in the bench (heaven or 3d11)
December 1, 201212 yr Hi guys! Do we need Windows 8 to play with Dx 10 LOD? I can't find no way to make it work with W7 Works fine in win 7, some versions of nvidia inspector does not have the LOD setting, the newest does, and some of old versions as well.
December 5, 201212 yr Thanks you, I had the right version of NI and the right options but it didn't work. Just switched OS now it's ok.
December 18, 201212 yr Is this tweak 100% HWB legal? I just boosted a score by >14% and it felt a bit weird because it's a tweak that comes from software outside of GPU drivers Not complaining, just want to know for sure before I blow a load of LN2 on scores
December 18, 201212 yr On ATI you can force Tessalation of, its also Software, for me its fully legit;)
December 18, 201212 yr That's drivers though Sure, massive performance gain, but it comes direct from ATI. I can disable Tess in nVidia.... but not through drivers and it's not legal. I'm only playing devils advocate
December 18, 201212 yr LOD DX9 has been approved. LOD DX10/11 is approved as well I guess (logically and also because Massman himself posted here and didn't say anything about not using it/disallow it)
December 18, 201212 yr True, LOD DX9 is outside of nV drivers too. Sounds good, I just wanna be sure before I start benching Everyone knows that every single Vantage leaderboard is gonna be re-written, right?
December 18, 201212 yr you got a new goal then Kenny, go for it broooooooooooooooooooooooooo ! I got enough on the go as it is "Part 3" is coming together nicely, but that needs some other work done and submitted first..... all while "Part 4" is kinda coming together and I also gotta keep on top my my hardware and global points......... This is the first official mention of "Part 3" and "Part 4"
