Unigine OpenGL/Direct3D9 Benchmark

[Tom|Nbk]

Ok found this new benchmark with a OpenGL/Direct3D support figure it would be good to see how our cards do on this.

Based on forthcoming Unigine v0.4 engine, is available. It works either on Windows and Linux. There is a benchmark in the demo, which can be used to compare performance in Direct3D9 and OpenGL.

Features:

* DirectX and OpenGL versions
* Up to 500k polygones per frame
* 5 dynamic lights
* HDR rendering
* Parallax occlusion mapping
* Ambient occlusion mapping
* Translucence
* Volumetric light and fog
* Glow
* Particle systems
* Postprocessing: motion blur, radial blur, depth of field, color correction, Sobel filter, refraction, stereo mode
* Benchmark mode is available

Requirements:

* DirectX9 (June 2006 or newer)
* OpenAL
* Latest stable video drivers
* ATI Radeon 9XXX and higher or NVIDIA GeForce FX 5XXX and higher
* Simple stereo glasses (for stereo mode)

Known drivers issues:

* [NVIDIA] Dropping to software rendering with shadow map, shadow map soft and cubemap reflections on OpenGL (NV40, G70)
* [NVIDIA] NV30 drops to software rendering on OpenGL
* [NVIDIA] Broken hardware shadows on NV30/Direct3D9
* [ATI] Broken alpha-testing on OpenGL with enabled HDR
* [ATI] Unable to use HDR + antialiasing on OpenGL
* [ATI] No glow through alpha-blending objects on Direct3D9, all cards up to R500

Direct3d 1280x1024 4xAA :

OpenGL :1280x1024 4xAA :

when running the benchmark let's keep things at 1280x1024 with 4xAA with everything else default atm, and then perhaps up the settings later to compare.

Cheers, get your results up

How old is this benchmark thingy?

About a month.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Looks good, was there any noticeable image quality difference between OpenGL and D3D?

Jokester

A bit, Direct3D definetly had the better IQ

 

[Tom|Nbk]

The OpenGL bench seemed really flakey for me the FPS was all over the shop, Loadas how was the D3D bench?

 

[Tom|Nbk]

downloading.

shall we make it so only scores with screenshots ?

It's an idea

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Im comparing to the original poster

Just ran it at my native res not a million miles behind that GTX

1680x1050 4xAA 16xAF

58.5

 

[Tom|Nbk]

OK, I put HDR on and shaders on HIGH, just like what the nvidia cards default to, I got 2fps less, Oh dear

73.4

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Except we are using opengl atm and your using dx9, lol

Do both like I said

 

[Tom|Nbk]

pictures showing medium shaders and hdr off

WTF. , let me try again damnit.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

OK finally got those settings to stick....

1280x1024 4xAA

HDR Enabled
Shaders High

Hmm Im not sure its just some daft benchmark, I wouldnt say for instance base a decision on a card with it
