franzon Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) A forum member by the name of Pat has recently released a new benchmark tool for DirectCompute. This tool allows you to benchmark DirectX 11 latest general-purpose computing feature by calculating tons of FFT-like data and some memory transfers. DirectCompute is an application programming interface (API) that takes advantage of the massively parallel processing power of a modern graphics processing unit (GPU) to accelerate PC application performance. Be advised that DirectX 11 and the latest display drivers are required to run this benchmark. http://www.ngohq.com/news/16710-first-dire...k-released.html Download here: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Files&a...&dwn_id=937 EDIT: Download the latest version here (v0.45b). Edited January 2, 2010 by Anaron Added link for v0.45b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Installed Catalyst 9.12 and ran the benchmark. I have two 4870X2's and I7 920. DirectCompute - D106972 CPU - M2509 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted December 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 27, 2009 You can run this benchmark with an HD4000-series video card, but only if you're running the Catalyst 9.12 drivers: ATI Catalyst? support for DirectCompute 10.1This release of ATI Catalyst? provides full support for DirectCompute 10.1 for the ATI Radeon? HD 4800 Series, ATI Radeon? HD 4700 Series for both single card and ATI CrossFireX? supported configurations. http://www2.ati.com/relnotes/Catalyst_912_release_notes.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmatic Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 what does the letter at the beginning of the score mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted December 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 27, 2009 what does the letter at the beginning of the score mean? I assume it stands for "single", as in single-threaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted December 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 27, 2009 Nice to see my old-ish card still score that well. I have no idea what the letters before the numbers mean, or why the scores differ so much, the OpenCL benchmark scores higher than the DirectCompute one, but took longer to complete.

Cy-Kill Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Here's mine: I wonder what it would be like if I had a DX11 card & Win7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupersonic Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I got D10670, C59900, M2900, specs in sig. Don't have a DX11 card :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperAFK Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 You can run this benchmark with an HD4000-series video card, but only if you're running the Catalyst 9.12 drivers:http://www2.ati.com/relnotes/Catalyst_912_release_notes.pdf Yep, ran perfectly on my 4870 (CPU is Phenom II 810 quad): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy-Kill Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 In my first post, as can be seen in the image I posted, I ran cs_4_0 on the GPU & CPU. On the following image, I can cs_4_1 on the GPU & CPU, not really much of a change: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted December 28, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 28, 2009 ATI should support OpenCL if they support DirectCompute, different API's over the same functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M.

wellofsouls Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 That makes no sense at all. yup, either the score title should say "CUDA" instead of "OpenCL", or maybe it has something to do with the current ATI Windows driver. I'm pretty sure ATI has stated that their DX10 cards support OpenCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xiphi Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 From the ReadMe.txt in the OpenCL folder: 2) ATI supports OpenCL in the Catalyst 9.11 dev beta and now in the official 9.11 BUT YOU NEED ATI Stream SDK to get OpenCL.dll (it's not included in the drivers as fas as I know) Download and install "ati-stream-sdk-v2.0-beta4-vista-win7-32.exe" (32MB) to get OpenCL support.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted December 28, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well that's silly. You shouldn't need to install the SDK to get parts of your display driver installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted December 28, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm confused. I seem to have the highest [posted] DirectCompute score in this thread. How is that possible? I managed to beat Cy-kill's score here. It doesn't make any sense because the HD 4870 X2 outperforms the HD 4870. Perhaps it's an issue with dual-GPU solutions.

You may have beat my DC score, because we are on two different OSes, you're on Win7U x64, while I'm on WinVHP x64, so that may have something to do with it.
