TessMark 0.2.2: New OpenGL 4 Tessellation Benchmark

[tombman]

I want to see 5870 vs GTX480!

Just look above - the GTX480- OWNS- the HD5870 in Tesselation

This is indeed true. nVidia did a very good job on their dynamic tessellation configuration.

So I thought it would be interesting to run Furmark and Tessmark at the same time to see what the result would be.

Tessmark result with both tessmark and furmark running in a window




Tessmark runs on top of furmark



So my scores drop from 150 tessmarks running in a window to 51 with furmark running in the background.

Settings used in Tessmark and Furmark :





So it would be interesting to see what kind of performance GTX460/470/480 owners would get running furmark and tessmark.

GTX 460 800/2000. Using settings from your screenshots.

TessMark - 381 fps
TessMark + FurMark - 124 fps

Thank You.
So the performance drop seems to be about the same on both type of GPU's.

Charlie was right... err... I mean wrong!

About Fermi only being great at tessellation when it has nothing else to do.

now that is Xtreme!

GTX460 SLI

EDIT: Yes, SLI was not working. I was told to use etqw.exe and it seems to have done the trick!

[kaktus1907]

^ seems SLI not working.. you can check my results at previous page..

are you surprised?

its just too bad there arent really any games using tesselation in a way it actually enhances iq...

lets just hope ATI step up their game with the new 6000 series..

Yes, a GTX460 scoring 120 with TessMark with FurMark in the background vs. a 5870 scoring only ~50 under the same configuration is a big victory for Charlie

[saaya]

lets just hope ATI step up their game with the new 6000 series..

so they score higher in benchmarks and people slap their fanboy epeens around?

wrong thinking! :P
lets hope GAME DEVELOPERS STEP UP THEIR GAME WITH TESSELATION AND USE IT IN A WAY IT ACTUALLY MAKES IT WORTH IT TO GO DX11!!!!

GTX460 SLI

480 vs ^460sli^ @ same clocks

normal runs hotter than insane

[NapalmV5]

stock cooled @ 910/1820/2200

[Arctucas]

Tried to see how far I could go:

Normal




Extreme




Insane




Notice that the more intense the tessellation, the lower the clocks.

[Arctucas]

stock cooled @ 910/1820/2200

I wonder how much effect the difference between your Quad @ 4500 vs. my Dual @ 3200 makes?

I see ONE person with custom drivers based off 10.7 running a benchmark which itself reports innoperable with most AMD high end configurations due to bugs and crashes. Also one claim that a 5770 is doing better than a 5870 for the same reasons above.
I would wait for the problems to be ironed out before giving a overall opinion about this benchmark. So far all I can say is nice for having xp support, but kinda pointless if it only works as intended on nvidia so far.

[-=DVS=-]

Most likely problem is ATI/AMD's inability to write good OpenGL drivers , looking back in history they always sucked in that area.
And considering we don't have alot of new if any games in OpenGL , ATI might be keeping it a low low priority.

here's some 5970 results for you folks, all in 2560x1600 because I have a big screen:

Also, some details about my setup... Everything is watercooled, running 10.10 catalysts, did a fresh re-install of win7 64bits 2 days ago, the 5970 is slightly overclocked 775/1075, it goes higher but I don't really care, the cpu is at 4.6ghz for 24/7 use but can boot upwards of 4.8 so I just need some phase change. I'm running a double monitor setup (2560x1600, 1920x1200) so perhaps this influences the benchmark results a bit.

Moderate, no AA


Normal, no AA


Normal, 4x MSAA


Normal, 8x MSAA


Extreme, no AA


Insane, no AA

from the looks of the Insane tess run, ati have to pull up their socks.

[STEvil]

Anyone got 6870 runs to compare to the 5870's? Dont know if tessmark will take advantage of the new method that 6870's have, but worth a try.

Everything at stock.

Moderate:


Normal:


Extreme:


Insane:


*the links picasa was wanting me to use weren't working right let me know if you can see these.

Edit: Just realized in my pics the memory was at 900 where the actual stock value is 1050, forgot i dropped that down i guess, the benchmark numbers the same on insane, +17 for extreme, +120 or so for Normal, +1040ish for Moderate.
