The AMD Driver Thread

Its pretty much exactly where i predicted it would be when the PCWorld 7850K results got posted here..

7m DrawCalls, that is some serious performance by any standard, it just goes to show what these Vishera CPU's can actually do.

edit, i misread it. its DX11 and 700K not 7m about the same as Single threaded. a little less actually.

Oops I made a booboo, I forgot I did CMOS reset so my bios settings were off. :o

Reran the test and got slightly better scores. :)

Might seem like a dumb question, but do draw calls relate more to the CPU or GPU(s)?

CPU's, the More DrawCalls you get the less chance of a CPU bottleneck.

Its why Mantle can run cheap and cheerful CPU's with Games like BF4 as if the CPU is 5 times more expensive.

So it's just squeezing every drop out the CPU and eliminating CPU overhead? Surprised to see AMD CPUs matching Intel CPUs with the amount of draw calls.

Ok, lets see what see does in DX12.

See you in a couple hours, installing win10 now :)

Looking forward to it bud. :)

Did another test, this time at 4k as its my native res and boost to 5Ghz.

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6376458


DX11 Multi-threaded draw calls per second 682126

DX11 Single-threaded draw calls per second 907069

Mantle draw calls per second 12962423

Huge difference!
 
Do keep in mind that this a CPU test. You want to have your settings as low as possible, otherwise your CPU will wait on the GPU and thus lower the number of draw calls.

I used to have that when I used Presets to move between Eyefinity and Extended - I generally had to select the profile twice in order to get the screens set up the right way.

I now simply use Disable Eyefinity Group or Re-enable Eyefinity Group in CCC, and my screens always end up the right way round (once I'd set them up first time, obviously) with just the one click.

If you're using all your screens in your Eyefinity Group, you could try using Windows+P to switch between profiles. Press Windows+P, select Extended and set up your screens as separate monitors. Then press Windows+P, select Duplicate and set up your Eyefinity Group. You should now be able to use Windows+P to easily move between Eyefinity (Duplicate) and separate monitors (Extended).

I would suggest having a play and trying all three methods to find the one that works the quickest/best way for you. I've used all three over the past few years depending on my setup at the time.

The Windows + P method doesn't seem to do anything. I tried setting up as you said, then when I switch between them it just stays in eyefinity mode.

The enable and disable eyefinity mode seems to be working, but does cause windows to jump around madly. Is there any way to stop this?
Also, is there a way to put a shortcut on the desktop to enable or disable eyefinity?

I#'d love to use the preset mode that used to work. I use radeonpro to automatically sitch into eyefinity and out of it for games, but it needs the presets set up and working properly.
