dirt 2 benchmarks dx9 vs dx 11

~>Dg<~ · 24 Nov 2009 at 15:15

well dunno if first ones just found these

hopefully not as buggy as first one seeing as its a big release . also as it is being bundled with a lot of new d 11 cards

this doesnt look good though

" SLI and Crossfire are not working correctly up to now, but AMD is already working on a appropriate driver - and Nvidia is most likely doing the same. "

Oh dear, best ran in Dx9, as its about 30 frames faster than Dx11.

Those peeps buying a 5750 expecting to play this in dx11 with decent frame rate are going to be dissapointed.I7 @ 3.5 1920x1200 25 to 28 fps.

im hopeing my 4850 crossfire and oc'd q6600 will do well.

They are using 9.11 drivers, ATI will have a performance update out or it will be in 9.12.

They are using 4xAA, I can live out it in a racing game so disabling it should increase DX11 performance a fair bit.

A single 4850 at 1920 x 1200 dx9 does 31 to 36 fps dx9 with a i7 @ 3.5 so id guess when they get xfire and sli working youd get around the same with a kentfield and xfire.

Hopefully should be able to max it out @ 5040x1050 max with x2/4 AA with my 5870

The 9.11 drivers already have given me a massive boost in performance.
Combined with a little GPU OC and the new drivers i can now run MW2 maxed with x4 AA.
My fps hits between 60-70 and once in a blue moon for a split second hits 51-55.

in 9.10 i was in the 40's.

Looks like you need at least a single 5870 to run dx11 decently with this game.5850 will struggle just a little and 57 series will hurt.

Source? Or is that a guess?

As I said, to really push DX 11 games of the future will require more than 1st gen DX 1 cards can push. This is always the case. Yes, the odd game might appear where DX11 effects are used occasionally with little performance impact but thats about it.

johny dolan · 24 Nov 2009 at 15:54

Just a guess greebo.When xfire works you will get a good boost from the extra card but your kentfield is slower than the i7 so i guesstimated.

yes but most of the people who are buying the 5750 cards are using them in crossfire so they will be ok

I like their comparison screenshot, they couldn't have picked anything more stupid to take a screeshot off.

It's in the benchmarks.

You do realise that DX11 rendering mode doesn't just bring the improvements of DX11 but they also use a bunch of new graphical effects based on the new DX11 features. Of course it's going to run slower...

But also won't it take a while for the coding within companies to be more efficient as ive read that this should be the case also.
With more mature coding stuff should run a hell of a lot better.

Meh i dunno.

Is it just me or do people always make too much of a new version of directX? It's not going to revolutionise gaming, and usually takes a while to get right. In fact, dx10 wasn't that amazing at all, nor do I think dx11 will be. dx9 was more interesting, but really it doesn't mean a lot tbh.

Rroff · 24 Nov 2009 at 16:20

Just turn off tessellation - you probably won't even notice the difference when actually driving - and fps should jump up loads.

Quite impressed the 260GTX still puts up great performance compared to the 5870.

They need better comparision screenshots tho.

As DX10 required vista it flopped, simple. DX10 looked a hell of a lot better imo.

And if you say the potential of DX11 is not interesting, then you sir are insane.

I don't think anyones really supprised it's slower but maybe a little by how much slower, for that kind of performance hit I hope these improvements are noticable.
