Great . Also an good idea to bench with 4*FSAA on very fast gpus (even more less cpu speed dependent results than with 2*FSAA).
But please add also the 2*FSSA results to compare with others - lowend-midrange gpus (in conclusion with 512 MB VRAM or less) cant handle 4*FSAA good in higher res and so 2*FSAA is an common bench environment for all.

800x600 vs 1920x1080  2xFSAA :




800x600 no FSAA :

[mitch_de]

Thanks. Beside resolution, FSAA is the parameter which most FPS effect.
Interesting is the big diff in spped windowed vs fullscreen at same resolution with your AMD card + ML DP3.
I get same bench results in 800x600 windowed vs  800x600 fullscreen in 10.7.4 E52 (Nvidia).
Would be fine if others with AMD/NVIDIA check (again) windowed vs fullscreen 800x600 (no fssa for more diff) also.
I bet that only AMD drivers have this huge diff windowed vs fullscreen. Perhaps some AMD driver problems in windowed mode.
Or an ML DP2/DP3 problem. For my knowledge Nvidia cards cant run Unique in windowed mode in DP3 - freeze.

And no, I don't agree with you, Mitch: I think that "00f06 Quadro driver" is best seen driver for Fermi cards. Because no need for AGPM edit, because of very good performance in games, because of stability et ct.

[mitch_de]

I said ( in thread 10.7.4 out, news) that the Nvidia drivers compared to Apple drivers may only help for Quadro (=Fermi) users. Non fermi users better use Apple drivers!

...well...apple 10.7.4 drivers work best for me...GT520(a fermi...but a bit of a bastard i think)

I have a "little bastard" too   = Geforce GT430, it based on GF108 chip with 96 cores and overclocked @822Mhz with passive cooling.

IMHO "Quadro" driver demonstrate good performance with this fermi card.

Felt like sharing... By comparing with other GTS450 seems like fine... Still gonna compare on windows. It really makes me sad that i cant play wow on full settings with opengl, and gll not working on 10.8... And Dota 2 is freezing like hell 20fps max 2 fps min...

NEW 4.0 Version Results:

Preset BASIC (medium, 1280x720, windowed, AA*2) Nvidia 9600 GT, 10.8.3 D65

I see that AA*2 and medium already needs 90% of the 512 MB VRAM. Higher quality + Higher res + more AA will reduce speed (short fps downs) with 512 MB only.

Version 4.0 produces following images - first one with AA, second without AA. This is not the same scene.
Currently running 12D65.

EDIT:

AA was not fixed with 12D68 and it seems tessellation doesn't work either.
My benchmark results: Left Basic w/o AA, right Ultra w/o AA.

EDIT2:

Benchmark result on Basic w/o AA in Windows 8 x64 with OpenGL:
FPS: 132.6
Score: 3340
Min FPS: 9.9
Max FPS: 255.0

You should use BENCHMARK button  (after RUN) to get an benchmark result value.  Takes 4 Minutes and benches all 26 scenes.

[k3nny]

I figured it's senseless to do a benchmark when the standard settings produce an invalid output and wanted to report that.

[mitch_de]

Ah i see. But that may not be an problem of the benchmark - your gpu may be the problem with actual drivers and AA enabled.
PS: Today D68 is coming up - for sure also changed AMD/Nvidia drivers. May help AMD 7xxx users.
PS2: If only AA makes problems, you could make an custom preset with same settings for BASIC / EXTREME but set AA=0.
My (old) 9600 GT performs 10% faster without AA*2 in BASIC (22 fps vs 24 fps).

[Wayang-NT]

can't use AA ... 1280x720 ... 12D68 ....
