DirectCompute Benchmark for Vista SP2 with DX11 or Win7


Recommended Posts

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.

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 10.1

This 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.

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.

Yep, ran perfectly on my 4870 (CPU is Phenom II 810 quad):

Here are my results:

DirectCompute%20Benchmark%20v0.35%20by%20Pat.png

Specs:

  • Intel Core2Duo E6750 @ 3.2 GHz
  • ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB
  • 8GB DDR2 RAM
  • Windows 7 Ultimate x64

The DirectCompute score seems a little high for the HD 4870.

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.

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.

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.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.

    • There are so many of these apps now that do this, what do people recommend?
    • Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.
