    HD 4870@ATI FirePro v8700
    HD 4870@v8700=Performance drops on OPENGL & AFTER EFFECTS CS5 OPENGL does not work!!!

    Hi everyone. Thanks for all your hard work to make this possible.

    This is my problem:

    1.- I finally modified my HD 4870 to a V8700 (driver 8.723) and gained huge improvement in both Max and Maya.

    SepcView 10 shows a score of 60+ on max and about 260+ on Maya.

    However, after a few days, the performance drops in Maya to about 60 on Specview 10, but still just as fast on Max!! (Max specview 10=60+)(Max 2011 & 2012)

    UPDATE: :(

    I created another user account on the same windows 7 I am using and now the new user account shows the full improved v8700 performance in both Maya and Max, but the one in which I install the patched driver still shows a huge drop in Maya performance, and the 2 user accounts are within the same Win 7 install! :( (switching between the two user accounts gives me performance gain vs no performence gain in Maya----(!!??)


    2.-Also, After Effects CS5 does not allow me to turn on the OPENGL option to accelerate previewing or anything else at any point after installing the patched driver with all the performance increase working in Max and Maya.

    so my 2 questions are:

    1.-Why is Maya performance droppping after it was fully working?

    2.-Why After Effects does not allow OPENGL preview acceleration if 4870 or
    v8700 are listed as supported cards for OPENGL acceleration in both previewing and rendering for After effects?


    PLEASE HELP!!!! I am at loss here!!!!!

    Any help or light into the matter is greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks everyone!

    Maybe something different in the two Maya environments?
    Are you using the same maya.env? Same system environment variables?
    Maybe the original user has created too many files somewhere that get scanned when Maya runs and slow it down. Start some monitor tool and see where the time is spent.
    Good luck.

    New kid, first post regarding softmoding

    Before i attempt softmoding my older HD 4670, what benchmark applications are you guys using to test for the before and after results of a radeon and firepro?


    There's my noob question. Short and sweet. Im only a few pages into this big thread so i apologize in advance if its already been asked.

    SPEC ViewPerf 10 should be enough for your needs.. You can also use version 11 of the same benchmark..

    Hi!
    If i get it right, there's no patchscript for Radeon 6900 series cards yet?
    As 8.723 driver doesn't know Cayman GPUs - we have to wait?

    Yes, the alternative is to buy Notebook with HD 6990M and flash FirePro BIOS ;P

    Hello.

    I am a SolidWorks user and I have successfully moded my RV770 to RV770GL with the FirePro 8.723 version drivers, thank you very much.

    But the thing is that now I don't have the hardware acceleration anymore. For ex. a youtube clip is green now and the splash ex player run without ATI Avivo.

    Please give me some advice here; thank you.

    I have disabled the hardware acceleration from the flash player menu; e6600 works fine for any HD video anyway.

    By the way, do you know some new script for the v8.83.5.4 FirePro Win7 x64 drivers?

    Thank you for the answer.

    Maybe someone will need this; don't know if it's good or bad.

    Softmod RV770 to RV770GL / FirePro v8.723 drivers

    SPECviewperf 11:

    catia-03: 7.23
    ensight-04: 9.95
    lightwave-01: 18.94
    maya-03: 34.33
    proe-05: 3.6
    sw-02: 19.83
    tcvis-02: 13.91
    snx-01: 18.73

    I would like to reinstall the normal final drivers for my HD and rerun the benchmarks to know the achievement; but the system runs so smooth now.

    Haven't been in here for a really long time. I guess progress is the same as before. Haven't used this for over a year now. Latest is still 8.723?

    Yes, unfortunately it's bad. This values are too low.
    I had the same problem. I wanted to make HD4850->fireprov8700 and it failed many times with different drivers.

    The name of card has been changed but opengl support was wrong.

    Than I don't know how, because I've been doing it many times in the same way I succeeded with softmod to firestream 9250.
