OK, AMD (some) cant use AA.
Setup custom preset without AA - but please use same resolutions & Quality as Preset BASIC + EXTREME.
Otherwise it cant really compared if someone uses BASIC without AA and Quality MEDIUM other uses BASIC without AA but with Quality HIGH.
So at least use BASIC / EXTREME without AA but leave other setting like BASIC/EXTREME.

So your BASIC without AA but HIGH fps will get little higher (from 70 fps) if you use BASIC MEDIUM without AA.

If possible please use preset BASIC or EXTREME. Some AMD (hackintosh 6xxx/7xxx) users may only  disable AA - but leave other BASIC/EXTREME preset values as default.
We otherwise will have lost of  incomparable results with different res, quality settings.

[k3nny]

I updated my earlier post and additionally made a benchmark in Windows with the same system. The difference is pretty big.

[mitch_de]

Thanks, started to collect the results on post #1.

robertx: Please add your BASIC result, you have setup smaller res with 800x600 which isnt comparable to others.
k3nny: OpenGL 4.x tessalation function cant work because it is isnt implemented in OS X yet. So its disabled.

EXTREME and ULTRA will produce much VRAM usage as BASIC.
WIthout 1 GB VRAM you will get short FPS freezes because textures must be swapped often between scenes.

Ultra stays the same, Basic is a bit slower. GPU reaches 80 degrees celsius on Ultra!!

Edit May 15 2013: Results are more or less identical with the new 313.01.01f03 nvidia driver, still on 10.8.3

Interesting: Since 4.0 version of HEAVEN it shows (if available on hackintosh by gpu fakesmc plugin) the GPU Temp below the fps (upper right corner).

For sure some get "hot" over the time running higher qulity + high AA*8 setting

As mitch keeps saying, please do a run with the Basic preset so that we have a common ground where we can compare performance.

[mitch_de]

Yep, BASIC preset should run on all monitors/cards - even smaller / lowend ones. My tft  is limited by 1440x900 - but at least i can run default BASIC.
So please don't change BASIC preset to custom (change res to 1024x768, ...) without major reason (screen is to small for 1280x720) or AMD fails with AA*2.

I put again my (unchanged) BASIC preset result to show hok the settings should look  like.
(AMD may disable AA*2 if artifacts comming up using AA).

Sure you can upload beside BASIC result your own custom presets (higher res, higher Quality, higher AA settings). But try preset default EXTREME in this case. Otherwise we would have to many non comparable results.

The AA bug was fixed with the recent beta 10.8.4 build 12E27.
