You're welcome kaktus,
A quite good looking demo but Endless City is more impresive IMHO

Hair Demo

So many polygons, yet it hardly looks impressive?

[Jodiuh]

I like the Island demo w/ the pretty waves the best.

But what I'd really like? I'd really like my $30 badaboom license to be useful damnit!

[kaktus1907]

now it can run on any directx11 gpu including AMD gpus..

I would love to see how 5870's or 6870's fair in that DEMO.

Yes, it's a slideshow at 2560x1600 with a 5870 and full effects... Not worth trying.
You have to manually launch the 32bits version after patching from the ../bin directory.

At that resolution even likes of 460 / 470 struggle to run this smoothly (its not butter smooth at 1200P on Zotac 470Amp, averages at about 23-25FPS on 470, so i am sure it will be slideshow at 25x16 even on this setup.

See how it runs at 1920x1200 (just to check performance).

With my i7-920 at 4,2GHz and a single 5870 at 1GHz, 1920x1200 I get between 10 and 15FPS with 13FPS the majority of the time (Using Fraps. Sometimes it gets to 25FPS for 1 second but that's not interesting for the test).
It is with Tessellation on and Auto-Pilot mode.

That's by manually editing the config file displayArgs.txt for the resolution as the configuration is done by EndlessCityLauncher.exe which doesn't work (not patched).

The triangles vs aliens demo is quite neat. The effect with the laser reminds me of Terminator 2/3.

[Jodiuh]

With my i7-920 at 4,2GHz and a single 5870 at 1GHz, 1920x1200...13...

i5-760 @ 4Ghz, 460 1GB @ 800Mhz, high quality driver settings/no optimizations, 1680x1050...20...

That seems pretty close IMO.

[kaktus1907]

I heard there is huge improvement compared to 5800's in Endless City.. 6900's are almost twice as fast as 5800's..

[Jodiuh]

Any 69XX owners?

[Oztopher]

I tried it, and i get about 20 fps, dipping to 18, going up to 25 sometimes.

Good looking demo, fun

[flopper]

tried to run but cant patch and follow the instructions.
so no go.

[Oztopher]

Why, what happens?

[flopper]

error patching, likely register issue somehow.

[Oztopher]

Something about msvcr100.dll error?

If so, go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and rename msvcr100_clr0400.dll to just msvcr100.dll, then run patch as adminstrator, worked for me
