    @W1zzard

    the Crysis-Scores are way to high, with what timedemo did you bench?
    At 1600x1200@High 4xAA (inGame) 16xAF (Driver) i get roughly 17fps with a
    8800GT 700/1000, E8400@3.6GHz, WinXP, gpu_bench

    It's just like that everywhere, you shouldn't be surprised at all.

    Minding I have great respect for w1zzard and consider him a role-model, I'm sad this had to happen to TPU, they are great and I honestly hope nothing bad happens to them due to this.

    Anyway, relatively to Crysis, I think RPGWiZaRD suggestion is one of the bests, since if you have a benchmark tool available to everyone, it will be much easier to compare results

    Best regards everyone, and w1zzard, if you really gonna end up your life making graphic cards, info leaks are not going to be a problem *j/k*
    Are we there yet?

    confirmed .. all crysis results are at 1280x1024. for some reason the loading screen loads in the right resolution and then crysis switches back to 1280x1024 for the benchmark ((

    If you came to me with the same scenario that W1zzard did this am I'd have done the same thing for you.
    Maybe I worded my prior statement not quite correctly but you can ask around this forum and anytime someone PM's me for help I do all that I can to help them.

    if you say the scores "are too high" - they are consistently high through all our cards, right? so the relative positioning is correct?

    crysis does not support AF at all? then our graph titles are wrong
    yes, they are too high for all vga that you have tested, so, probably, the relative position anyway is correct.

    What driver you have used for benchmark? (if u can tell this...)

    you can always force AF through driver, but it on ly works in Crysis if you don't use POM

    as far as r_UsePom=0 it should work.

    Are you 100% sure about this?

    I believe Crysis has AF even while using POM...

    :cry:

    Code:
    	cfg.Add(_T("r_Width = ")+api->GetParameter(_T("ResolutionX")));
    	cfg.Add(_T("r_Height = ")+api->GetParameter(_T("ResolutionY")));
    I had Width and Height swapped ...

    99.9% sure

    on my test-setup setting "r_Texture_Anisotropic_Level = 16"
    and "r_TexMaxAnisotropy = 16" doesn't change the framerates.
    Have to force it through the driver

    Better leave it off at all, for the Benches

    but i doubt crysis uses bi/trilinear filtering instead? so 0x AF seems to be incorrect?

    ===== Crysis =====
    Average: 20.9 FPS
    Minimum: 14.6 FPS
    Maximum: 23.3 FPS

    woot new results for 3870x2 1600x1200, 4x AA. looks correct now?

    I may be confused about what I'm going to say, but I quite believe in that matter that AF is really =0, because POM is the technique to make 2D textures look like 3D, so no texture filtering needed. As for the long distance views (mountains, rocks vegetation etc), the command "e_view_dist_materials=2048" improves the distant object details, so it makes quite sense the absence of AF.

    Did this make any sense or am I wrong about something?

    @W1zzard:
    I am not sure if somebody already asked but could you explain how 9600 GT could possibly have 19.6 FPS in Crysis in 2048x1536 with 4xAA and 16xAF?

    Aha ok. So if he actually tested in 1280x1024 instead of 2048x1536 the scores for GTX 280 Amp would be:

    2048x1536 4xAA = 20.71 FPS
    1290x1080 4xAA = 28.27 FPS

    That is if the original 49.7 FPS was indeed with 4xAA.

    That would be great W1zzard, but please don't get yourself in any more grief with Nvidia.
