The scale on that heaven graph is hilarious, please don't make such a small gain look huge, it's just stupid.

AMD Catalyst 12.8 to 12.11 Scaling

Zoomed graphs? you mean the bar charts not starting from 0?
Well yes, on a scale of 2000 / 8000 they need to be otherwise what you end up with is bars of identical lengths
Its how MS Word formatted it, i can't be bothered to mess on with it to much.
Agreed.

LOL you could scale it back a bit, but never mind.

No, just taking your heaven graph for example, if someone didn't really look at the graph they could think that there's somehow a 3x performance increase, instead of a 46 point improvement.
i'll have a look at it again later to see if i can clean it up, it does look a bit odd, it does need scaling back.
Maybe now its in amd's favour, but this might be a blessing in disguise for nvidia users as they might actually start dropping prices now.
With a bit of luck
But I doubt it
Correct that horrible grammatical error!!!
Nice zoomed graphs!
In all seriousness though good work - stick it in the benchmarks thread.

For me the question is whether my 5850 would see an improvement in performance, going from 12.8 to 12.11 ?
Or do these improvements only apply to latest AMD cards ?

It seems to be 7### series cards only. but i don't know.
They finally got to work with the devs and the engine code (frostbite2-devs danger close), something only Nvidia had access to with bf3 and dice, hence all the dice producers saying to get the best possible experience go nvidia and to play full ultra you need 2x580's. I remember it well as i looked on with my paltry dual 6950's.
Nvidia just have better PR matt and made better use of it.
'We’re also looking forward to the release of BATTLEFIELD 3 later this year and will be dropping by the Dice booth to see the demo, set up on PCs featuring AMD Eyefinity technology. From the demos I’ve seen so far, the FrostBite™ engine looks fantastic and I can only imagine how brilliant it’ll look running on systems with AMD Radeon™ graphics cards.'

EA/Dice didn't give any preference to either, both of them worked closely with Dice along with Intel and Microsoft:

Far too big a title to side up with either team imo, plus I don't think the 2Gb 69's arrived out of coincidence, if you weren't a sheep, when the frame times came into play, the 5 series fell flat on it's ****(with the exclusion of the 580), something that 99% of reviews/BM results failed to inform.
Up until now, Nvidia were working harder than Amd in regards to BF3 or their implementation of DX11 multi-threaded rendering was way ahead, but now EA have signed up with 'Gaming Evolved', it's obviously reaping it's rewards.
Love them or loathe them EA have some heavy hitting titles, great piece of business Amd, about time too.
Indeed it is, i'm looking forward to how that might evolve "Gaming Evolved"
I think 'gaming evolved' means AMD pay developers to put as much GPU compute into games as possible
hahaha.... and your probably not wrong given 'gaming evolved' literally is all based on Direct Compute.

Good honest info Tommy
Fair do's i stand corrected. I think you can understand why i thought that though going by the PR.
