**Official 3DMark API Overhead Leaderboard**

@ Triss and Layte

Different vendors and different overclocks have different results. just like any application which calls its self a benchmark, there fore it can be used as a benchmark.

Its no different to using games as benchmarking tools.

You have made your point, i don't agree, so i would appreciate it if you didn't derail this any further.

well found a press release about the driver i need but i'm sure i tried to download it through windows update before and it pretty much made the card stop working.

Maybe contact Nvidia? fire off an Email to them. or use Twitter.

Pointing out the obvious flaw in the basic premise of the thread is not a derailment. Ranking scores in such a way makes no sense if you understood what FM have given us. The only way this tool can provide meaningful data is for people to post the results for each API on their own system as a unique entity. Ranking them doesn't work, the developers themselves have stated that.

This post tells me far more than a random bunch of different setups sorted by score. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=27832904&postcount=5

I didnt know mentioning what the designer of the feature said was derailing, You yourself posted a SS from them in the first post, i had simply assumed you wernt aware of what they said

@ Triss and Layte

See how many draw calls your PC can handle with each API before the frame rate drops below 30 fps

Our systems all perform differently, we can improve the performance of our own systems by overclocking.

We have been doing that and comparing our work to eachothers since the dawn of Computer Hardware, since when did that become a crime? just now it seems.
Really?

If everyones system performed the same i can understand why you two would be so against it, but its not... this thread is about doing exactly what we as Hardware enthusiasts do all of the time and have been for a very very long time.

Why are you guys even here telling me i shouldn't do this, its as if your not even a part of it... dictating something you don't understand.

"Dictating something you don't understand"

Would you care to show me where i have done this?

What i did is post what the designer of said software said about it ,As i said i assumed you hadn't seen it. But somehow you decided to turn that into a personal attack.. and even decided posts from 3dmark own guide on the software was derailment. You often have good points and info Humbug to offer so i will forgive you this time

Layte it's clear from your many posts you have disdain for AMD, if these guys want to do these tests that's their choice, I'm not sure why you think you have the right to tell them they can't?

If you don't like the info don't read the thread, but don't haunt the thread with your negativity it makes you look a bit childish and petty. Simply move on mate

Humbug I have a 290 and a 280x I can test on my 4770k later once I get win10 installed etc

 

[whyscotty]

Yes i know, ^^^^ we are not comparing GPU's, we are comparing API overheads, thats the CPU. the GPU in this is pretty much irrelevant

In that case this is in the wrong section - CPU's perhaps

While I agree if people want to rank the results then go for it (doesn't harm anything, unless you begin to extrapolate from it), but I also appreciate the fact that what the tools intended purpose is for is brought to light.

Good job Bug, about time we found a way to measure and test API performance. Makes me considering installing Windows 10 to test DirectX 12.

Will put up some results over the weekend.

 

[SiDeards73]

What's Abundantly clear is DX12 has massive gains as an API over DX11, that alone should be enough to get gamers excited.

One thing is also apparent it will breathe a lot of life into lower end pc hardware that supports it.

Yup, it'll be a good boost all round I feel

I'll just submit here the same results I added in the amd driver thread using the benchmark default settings. I may go back and do a 1080p run if needed later.
