I would love to see peoples side-by-side DX9 and DX11 just to see what kind of impact it would have on different configurations.

I'm impressed with the DX11 benchmark. It doesn't drop below 60fps at 1080p like the dx9 version does. I actually get higher performance using DX9 settings with DX11.

CPU OC to: 4.6 Ghz
GPU OC with +200Mhz core +400Mhz mem

Hey there, i've been posting this earlier in a lodestone blog post.

Although not that big a difference, display mode affects the score, so i suggest OP to add another recommendation : fullscreen (somewhat easier to play around with, you can use different resolution, and games perform better in fullscreen, better for benchmarking purposes)

Details in the blog post.

Ask if you want other test settings

Pretty much what I was expecting, i'm planning on replacing this old machine anyhow and I do have another 7950 to crossfire in future when I change my motherboard, I'm actually surprised I was still able to hit "very high"

http://i.imgur.com/IPMdyIj.jpg?1

I am happy with my results. Not sure if cross-fire was working though, as even during the benchmark my AMD 7870 reached mid 70s temp.

Even though I have a 7870 it registers it as 7800, which is what my second card connected to the cross-fire is.

In response to the CPU usage of the game : all along the tests i did, the benchmark only ever used 1 CPU core, and frequency wasn't even @ max. (Big ass i7 5960X 8C@4.4GHz/4C@4.5GHz/2C@4.6GHz here, but it doesn't affect how the game use CPU, it's only ever one core, frequency will not be a good comparison between AMD / INTEL, but the cpu usage is more bandwidth than actual operation on the cpu from the game/benchmark)
But your CPU can be a bottleneck for your GPU.

Regarding 2.0 Bench vs 3.0, did you do both tests today with the same settings (DX9 Maximum for a fair comparison) ?
You can observe a small performance drop with DX11, for a small quality upgrade.

Naw not really. If your using a single card setup, then your 3GB of VRAM may struggle @4k to produce solid frame rates and smooth gameplay. However, when you actually play the game setting up vsync (or capping fps at 60) should stop the tearing.

It probably didn't do crossfire because its in "borderless windowed mode" set it to full screen and try again, that score is very low for a crossfire set of 7870's or even 7850's.

I posted my benchmark already for DX11 so I thought i'd do some more

1920x1080 Dx11 Max Full screen Score: 5710, Average Frame Rate: 44.300
1920x1080 DX-9 Max Full screen Score: 8936, Average Frame Rate: 73.175
1920x1080 DX11 Max DX9 settings FS : 8419, Average Frame Rate: 66.084

In the DX11 client when using DX9 settings it showed noticeable drop off in the battle scenes (first scene, last scene) and similar performance across all the others, I'm not sure if the graph is delayed but when referenced next to the dx9 score the peaks and troughs of the graph were appearing earlier.

I will likely do this again when I switch my cards over after getting my R9 280 back from RMA.

Hrm, I never thought it would make that big a difference, but apparently it does. I tried it out, Full Screen my score was 7080.

https://scontent-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hp...74&oe=55DDE894

Only problem seems to be that my main card still got really hot by the end of the benchmark, it was at at least 87 degrees.

When I went into the character creator it actually went up to 91 at one point when I checked after seeing obvious signs of my card being overheated (flickering in some parts of the graphics) and I had to close it down quickly to cool it off.

I am a bit saddened that at least my one card still runs hot. Haven't figured out how to see both simultaniously since the CCC only seems to let me view performance on one at a time as far as I can tell.

my card is a 295x2 8gb, 2x gpu. its built for 4k so thats why im wondering is having it as a display port into hdmi adaptor might be the screen tearing issu but i donno its not that bad anyway its only one every now and again.

I'm sure you've already gotten more than enough of this setup, but here it is. I completely maxed out every setting there was (minus resolution)

DX 9

My System
Intel i5 4670k -> Overclocked to 4.2Ghz
AMD R9 290X in Crossfire (They are actually R9 290's flashed to 290x's so I'm not sure if they perform 100% as a 290X)

Average FPS @ 2560X1440 was 79 on Maximum Settins -> Which I'm very happy with.

Thanks for doing this :D


Friendly note to benchmarkers - This only works if everyone uses the same settings Maximum Full Screen or its a meaningless comparison

Although admittedly the OP doesn't specify so.... *meh* this whole thing is pretty pointless.

AMD Crossfire is full screen only, use a program like MSI Afterburner and create a custom fan curve profile for your cards.

You can enable the option in CCC to show the Crossfire logo when in use and this will help you test if it is working, then you can disable it.

If you are trying to use Crossfire and having issues I suggest you read this post for some tips.
