DX10/DX11 LOD control in Nvidia 310.xx driver

[K404]

I just thought of something...... my driver pen has about 30 options for Vista + 7...... now it can be cut back to 2 :D

[AndreYang]

I am not sure hwbot allow this tweak for vantage. You know we can change LOD until 27 if you know how to change. More higher LOD got more higher GT1.

 

I think more and more people will get higher GT1 soon. Maybe 03 05 06 higher???? no ideas.

 

This is my vantage single card result. gpu clock 1855/1900 cpu 5.7G

Is it allowed really??

[Guest cowgut]

Allowed? i think it should be incouraged

 

They took phyxs out and that was nvcp...paybacks a bitch

smoke um if you got um

Get the hex value up 180 and take that for a spin.

get The Hex Value Up 180 And Take That For A Spin.

 

27/0.125 = 216 = D8

[Guest cowgut]

Oh right i was not meaning that much thuo.

It goes up to 30 and has an experimental 50 LOD in it.

Just noticed that I had to do the testing with the CPU running at 5 GHz so results are more consistent. (for 01, AM3, 03, 05 and 06)

 

I will redo the testing asap.

But at least you see what it does to 3DMark Vantage, 11 and Unigine Heaven.

@rsnubje.... do values >15 actually work now?

3xx/DX11 yes.

[K404]

Awesome Will try when I can Thanks!

[rsnubje]

I was having doubts too, but I started creating higher than 15 so why not go on till 30 More or less went to that because Andre noted 27 LOD.

[I.nfraR.ed]

He noted it, but it's arguable if higher LOD gives you higher result. Based on my testing during the CountryCup, LOD 4(5) was best for the low end cards in Vantage. Unfortunately I don't have any high end models, it might be different there.

[faust2016]

I've done some testing on the LOD too. The scores seemed to get better as I set the LOD higher (GTX 460 768MB and 560 Ti).

Only problem is that the newer drivers don't allow me to run the GPU's over 1GHz.. So when going cold the driver/LOD tweak is kind of useless.

Is there a workaround for this problem?

[K404]

Not that anyone knows of so far

 

At least its a level playing field Using Fermi? Use 275/285/296 drivers.

 

Using Kepler? Use 310

[Dancop]

Do you know, what is to be done, to get lod with tri sli or sli working properly?

I get it working, but I'm loosing lot of points in SLI...single cards works great - what am I doing wrong

[FatBoyNotSoSlim]

Necroing this thread to ask...

 

Is changing LOD possible for DX11 based benchmarks for ATI cards? So far I've only managed to get SETLOD to work on DX9. Not sure if I'm making a mistake, or this is normal/by design.

thanks bro

Has anybody tried this with Maxwell and actually seen a increase because I'm losing about 30% just by enabling sparse grid supersmapling
