lol well i just tried this.. on stock reference 4870....
well... it started the test then just a black screen with my mouse.....
pressed esc after about a min of doing nothing
then everything was fine just went to normal occt screen.....
nothing was wrong ... just the test didn't load up it didnt even go into 3d clocks...

Do you have Vista or XP? of you have Vista some time's vista restarts the card for you.Originally Posted by Jamesrt2004
I don't know much about programming, but I think you don't know a single thing...could you define "very very optimised shaders"?
I'd say that games like Crysis, or Far Cry 2, or Dawn Of War II, or the new Riddick or STALKER... do use very COMPLEX shaders... and I didn't heard that someone complained that those games burned their Radeons
So you're saying that yours "simple Alpha blending" is meaner than STALKER's shaders... interesting!
Having complex code may cause less stress because some units will be idling, waiting to get other unit's information, while with simple, and scalable coding, you get much mure GPU load, because information is delivered much faster across units, because calculations are much simpler... I think...
Are we there yet?
Exactly. Said in a much better english than mine. And that's where you see that english is not my native language.
I built the current algorithm by isolating the functions that did load the GPUs, making a mathematical-function with it that was sound, and a scalable version (the "shader complexity" parameter.
That's what was done. Sounds easy, was not
And yes, indeed, the sole fact that lowering the hardware frequencies make the test run almost rules out any software problem. And believe me, i did ALOT of debugging there.
And heres your failure, no game can utilize all 160shaders 5D shaders to it's fullest potential, your simple shadercode can but neither reflects games nor the circumstance the R700 was layed out.

Well, why just having built it that way then, and boasting the capability ?
I wonder.
Hmm, wonder if this is the real why sideport hasn't been enabled and graphics drivers haven't been bringing more performance.
Cause it would crash the cards
Oh well, at least ati can test there next gen cards with this tool first now.
Cause when you use it the way it's meant to be theres no problem....?
Your code produces a load behavior of the shadercores that will be never exist in the wilde (not on video encoding, not on GPGPU apps and not on games).
so you're now spoke person for Tetedeiench good for you!
after reading this gibberish I concur with you! You really don't know much about programming!!!Having complex code may cause less stress because some units will be idling, waiting to get other unit's information, while with simple, and scalable coding, you get much mure GPU load, because information is delivered much faster across units, because calculations are much simpler... I think...
pfff... more complex code imposes less stress on GPU... yeah right!
Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following the release of Flash Player 10.1.

That's something new
Try the very same test with a shader complexity 0 (this lower the load on the GPU by a lot). Does it launch ?
Try to monitor using RivaTuner : do you see the very same drop in the frequencies as we do record it ?
Pressing <esc> kills the App, i've always included that escape point. Maybe you could recover from that.
heya buddy sorry about late reply have to go hospital in morning etc... so was sorting that out..That's something new

having it on 0 WORKS (looks pretty cool i must say) about to try 1 then 2 then 3 see what works and what doesnt ..
-edit..-
ok
0 = works...
1 = reproduces the thing in OT
2 = same ..
3 = what i said before seems like it doesn't show up just black screen with mouse working and can exit into windows pressing esc.

Ok, so you have the same problem as other people
If you underclock your card drastically, let's say 500/500 i'm sure Shader Complexity 3 will run just fine
And really, don't worry about the reply delay
