Catalyst 7.7 Released

Ok.

Done them, I used 1280x1024, no AA.

Mineral PS4.0: 235fps
Fire PS4.0: 3.2fps
PS4 Texture Test (Fur, SSAA: Off, Effect Detail@ High): 61.1fps
PS4 Texture Test (Steep Parallax Mapping, SSAA: Off, Effect Detail: High):50.2
Vertex Texture Fetch: (Testing: Earth, Effect Detail: High, Polygon count: High): 107fps.
Same as above but waves: 56.4
Geometry Shader Test: (Shader: Galaxy, Polygon count: High, GS Load: Hevy) : 36.7
Same above but hyper light: 80.3

All take with AA set to none at the top.

any particular settings you want me to run!?
or just default!?

Id presume just default in the review they used a 30" so thats a bit of a bummer as a lot of people don't have screens that size you could just run the tests that the 2900 suffered heavily in from that review and then perhaps try to compare. That way we get some idea if things have improved

1280x1024

Fur\ssaa off\effect detail high : 260.9fps

Fire bunny thingy : 144.1fps

vertex texture fetch 240.9

pixel shader 4 step parallax mapping 4xaa effect detial high = 27.1fps

Does someone want to make a new thread for this benchie. It deserves it

Is that the one I get 60fps on? :eek:

I did the test from the nvidia side using the same test and settings/resolution:

I think its safe to say looking at those results performance hasnt changed one bit from 7.5 to 7.7. Oh dear.

Same exact settings I got 14.4, these seem bang on.

Remember that the review used a 30" most likely using its native resolution.

Dan2kx · 24 Jul 2007 at 00:18

Ok well
1920x1200 with 8xAA -
-geometry shader test
with galaxy, high polygons and heavy selected = 101.4fps

arithmetic
-mineral - 138.7
-fire - 2.4 - ouch lol

texuring
-steep parallax map, 4x ssaa, high = 8.4

vertex
-earth, high, high = 89.7
-waves, high, high = 50.2

They used 1280x1024 for that test I looked through the non-translated page to make sure.

You need to ask ATi a question, and that is, WTF is going on in the driver department, looks like they are slipping

Someone make a new thread I CBA and your killing the Catalyst 7.7 talk

That's unusual, with same settings but with 1440x1050 I get 35fps there :confused:

Thats scary as your using 2x 2600XT :eek:

Are you both on the same drivers?

Anyone made a thread? If not I'll make one, just need a name for it.
