DX9 with adaptive AA enabled (it's what I run) I get 33.3 fps which is a score of 839
DX10 with adaptive AA enabled (it's what I run) I get 31.8 fps which is a score of 801
OpenGL with adaptive AA enabled (it's what I run) I get 25.5 fps which is a score of 643

ATI still need to work on Open GL then ;)

For some reason i get a error and cant run dx10 or dx9 at all :confused:

But open GL i get 29.0 fps which is 731

so i take it that it doesnt make use of 2 cores.

Doesn't seem to support RV770 cards correctly yet :-

Supported video cards:
NVIDIA GeForce 9500 - 9800 (G9x)
NVIDIA GeForce 8400 - 8800 (G8x)
NVIDIA GeForce 7100 - 7950 (G7x)
NVIDIA GeForce 6100 - 6800 (NV4x)
ATI Radeon HD 3400 - HD 3870 (RV620-RV680)
ATI Radeon HD 2400 - HD 2900 (R6xx)
ATI Radeon X1300 - X1950 (R5xx)
ATI Radeon X700 - X850 (R4xx)
Performance-critical optimizations for different video cards

For whatever reason it's running mine with R600 optimisations, so no DX10.1 (which it supports)
 
It doesn't work too well with SLI or crossfire either... infact you might not get any boost from crossfire at all.
 
whats the problem with it not supporting 4800 series cards , my one ran the bench fine? and it doesnt mention dx 10.1 in the specs for the engine?
 
Pretty cack looking benchmark really, dunno if anyone else is getting a weird glitch with the trees showing an almost transparant edging surounding the leaves. Also bushes look very angular and 2d as well
 
Strange, with dx10 it looks fine. dx9 locked my pc up and opengl just looks like turd. :confused:

Hmm seems to run well on the 4870X2 atleast...

EDIT scratch that is the DX10 mode - in DX9 its another story...
