TessMark 0.2.2: New OpenGL 4 Tessellation Benchmark

[trinibwoy]

http://www.geeks3d.com/20100819/gpu-...ion-benchmark/

OpenGL and works in XP.

Like Unigine Heaven, TessMark allows to select the level tessellation. The small difference is that TessMark proposes four differents levels (see the screenshots at the end of the post):

moderate
normal
extreme
insane


Moderate and normal levels are levels we’ll find in real world applications like games. Extreme and insane levels are reserved for GPUs with much tessellation processing power and for the required touch of madness that a graphics benchmark must have
TessMark is an OpenGL 4 benchmark. That means you can play with GPU tessellation under Windows XP, Vista and Seven. Of course, you need a GeForce GTX 400 series or a Radeon HD 5000 Series. No GPU tessellation with previous generation of graphics cards!

So OpenGL 4 (And I suppose 3 as well) work in XP while retaining the features that DX10 and DX11 can only do in Vista/7?

Yet another reason to ditch Direct3D! (And Xaudio/DirectSound while we are at it). More potential buyers for your games!

I kinda miss those days when especially OpenGL was a very viable renderer choice, especially if you had a nvidia GPU. Software, OpenGL, Direct3D, 3DFX etc, these days if you'd even see an option to choose what renderer to use, you'd be like WTF is this?

[Manicdan]

can we get a screenshot of the extreme, 50fps at 1024 dosnt sound very heavy of a benchmark at all

makes my pc crash & reboot... even at default speed

[FischOderAal]

It tells me my HD 5850 doesn't support OpenGL 4.0... lolwhut?

Do you have the latest drivers that support Ogl 4.0?

[madcho]

latest catalyst drivers on 5870 installed + W7 64bits = driver crash.

Does i need install something else ? what's wrong ?

[Det0x]

*** WARNING ***: there is a BUG in Catalyst 10.7 (or the tessmark program itself) that prevents to use OpenGL 4 GPU tessellation on all Radeon HD 5800. Other Radeon like HD 5700 are not affected by this bug. Tessmark


Anyway, iam running i7 @ 4.1hz + cata 10.5 on a 5870 @ 975/1200 and i get much worse scores then the Radeon HD 5770 @ this Comparative Table page
This benchmark look fishy to me, the same way as stonegiant do.

GTX460 Default clocks vs Overclock

[Manicdan]

can anyone show us some screenshots of insane tessellation at work

[SoF]

+1
But think I'll test it on my own as soon as arriving home after GC 2010

I have no problem running this benchmark ..(except for the performance) but I'm using the TwL 3.95 drivers which is based on Catalyst 10.7a

[Manicdan]

they look identical to me, would have preferred something pretty, or a wireframe view to show off the details

F2 and u can enjoy as much as u want wireframe....

F2 and u can enjoy as much as u want wireframe....

Maybe only in the PRO version ??? because F2 doesn't do anything in the normal version.

1024 x 768 with 8xMSAA





1900 x 1200 with no AA

I am sorry i didnt know that...



SET 1


SET 2

[cx-ray]

Normal & Insane GTX 480 SLI (confirmed both GPUs are working). Hardware settings all stock on test bench.

[Calmatory]

OpenGL and no linux port.

i dont have a Dx11 gpu, so i actually enjoy nothing, lol.

[ElSel10]

I want to see 5870 vs GTX480!

[RPGWiZaRD]

GTX460 Default clocks vs Overclock

Nice GTX 460 you got there, the increase is quite dramatic if you ask me. 32~34% performance boost to avg & min fps!

[PatRaceTin]

WOw i don't have dx11 card!!!
