3DMark API OVERHEAD TEST

[shankly1985]

Lets see how we compare now that AMD has improved there Draw Calls for DX11 over the past couple months.

DX11 Multi-threaded draw calls per second 1,045 829
DX11 Single-threaded draw calls per second 1,062 395
DX11 Multi-threaded draw calls per frame 35,328
DX11 Single-threaded draw calls per frame 35,328

i7 3770k @4.2 290 @1030/1250 Driver 15.7 - 1440p

DX11 Multi-threaded draw calls per second 1,044 619
DX11 Single-threaded draw calls per second 1,113 866
DX11 Multi-threaded draw calls per frame 36,864
DX11 Single-threaded draw calls per frame 38,400

Thats 720p Should have said am running 1440p

Not it's not, it's just the OP never updated it

My God who cares? just post some results is this going to take 10+ pages?

 

[shankly1985]

Well am not sure... Because they is defo a difference changing resolution.

So we just going to keep on crying and playing Mr Don or we going to start posting some results?

Hello

Hi!

Humbug am seeing different results, based on different Resolutions..

 

[shankly1985]

Your results on post #1?

It looks like you have about a 10% difference in DX11 Single threaded. And maybe Multi threaded, a bit. is that consistent?

The results i found at the time



above 4K it starts to drop but thats because it starts to become GPU bound

Its what everyone else also found, thats why i changed it, that and it was so cluttered no one could make sense of it.

What do you suggest? i mean your results look pretty consistent apart from DX11 single thread.

If they is a difference to be had then I feel all bench results should have there own section.

 

[shankly1985]

Sectioned by Driver? it looks like the Driver is better. Run that first one again at 720P

720p

DX11 Multi-threaded draw calls per second 1,076 296
DX11 Single-threaded draw calls per second 1,081 032
DX11 Multi-threaded draw calls per frame 35,328
DX11 Single-threaded draw calls per frame 38,400

ok I see what you might be getting at here.. Now my 720p test is much worst then it was before.

 

[shankly1985]

Your getting more DrawCalls in the Frame at higher res because the Frame is bigger, it has more information in it, when you crunch it down its still the same number of DrawCalls at any given time, thats why your DrawCalls per second are the same.

Edit: I.E the latency in calls is still the same.

Ok whats the most important result. Per Frame or Per Second?
