Hi, There are a lot of reviews/benchmarks aboutthis new stuff from nV. All of them are talking about few things: Shaders, Pixels...and all of benching are done on the games. Now, Im asking myself, what are improvements in 3dsMAX? Better image quality? Better AA? D3D or MAXtreme D3D 9? So, here is old benchmark from even 3dsMAX 4.0, Im shure you remember it. If someone already own some 8800 card please do some benches!!! Here's the link for downlaod, rar archive includes all needed scenes+script required for running bench. http://rapidshare.com/files/3108339/bmark4.rar.html I didnt use it on MAX9, so I don know how it works, bit on MAX8 it works 100% (sometimes you have to run it twice time to run it reguraly). Also, all of the benches should be done in 1280x960, just because of comparing w/old graphic card benchmarkings. If you find it interesting you can also done it in 1680x1050 as we all easly move to this "industry standard" wide screen. THANX! I think we all the could have benefiet from this. Just to say, I do not believe to SPEC benches, they are sinthetic, even SPECfor MAx is not realworld bench, here you have pure poligons&textures. PS-If you find message "Tetures did not find etc..." just click CONTINUE, or find your old MAX 5.0 install CD! THANK YOU!
Here are the results on my QX6700 / eVGA 8800GTX. Looks like D3D is much faster overall. These test were ran at my LCD's native res of 1920x1200. Is there any site that lists other users results so that we can compare them to our own? ================================================= Video Card: eVGA 8800GTX Display Typeirect3D File Name | FPS ================================================= 4viewports.MAX | 82.0345 8direct.MAX | 607.903 8omni.MAX | 581.395 8spot.MAX | 533.333 blitting.MAX | 1049.32 dualplanes.MAX | 953.895 geometry1.MAX | 426.743 geometry2.MAX | 263.158 multitex.MAX | 80.0 rasterize.MAX | 640.205 textured1.MAX | 521.558 textured2.MAX | 176.6 textured3.MAX | 198.807 transpar.MAX | 326.797 wireframe1.MAX | 19.2185 wireframe2.MAX | 15.7505 Comp High: 204.548 Comp Low: 238.807 ================================================= Video Card: eVGA 8800GTX Display Type:OpenGL File Name | FPS ================================================= 4viewports.MAX | 29.9043 8direct.MAX | 50.9944 8omni.MAX | 51.2033 8spot.MAX | 50.9944 blitting.MAX | 695.571 dualplanes.MAX | 839.161 geometry1.MAX | 8.40242 geometry2.MAX | 6.90147 multitex.MAX | 76.1615 rasterize.MAX | 77.5735 textured1.MAX | 1170.05 textured2.MAX | 124.883 textured3.MAX | 183.891 transpar.MAX | 45.9812 wireframe1.MAX | 12.4275 wireframe2.MAX | 10.202 Comp High: 35.4016 Comp Low: 109.19
thank you! here you can find more results (7600gt, 7900GTO..etc) http://www.dizajnzona.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23832 I think you will understand, just look to the results&graphic card model.
Interesting results. Do you know why some users are getting such high wireframe scores? Some users GF6600 users and one Radeon 9600 user are getting about three to four times what others are behcming at. As I do most of my work in wireframe mode, this is the where I really notice the slowdowns on my system. I am really quite surprised that hardware from three generations ago is faster than my 8800GTX when working in this mode. Thanks again for the link.
I figured out why my wireframe performance was so slow - it turns out I had "Display all triangles" disabled in the D3D settings thereby disabling my wireframe acceleration. Speed is now through the roof in 3DSMax, but it is now very confusing to work in the scenes as the extra triangle lines reallly clutter things up. It is too bad that there isn't a way to enabled hardware accelerated lines with the hidden lines.
