Question Beta 19: %5 slower for hd7870

I had 10500ish points in CAT in beta-18 but now it is 10000ish points in CAT.

Hmm,
that's interesting. Could you make an additional test using OpenGL?
Last time you wrote that it was 20% slower.

Thanks!

Hi, %20 difference was between direcx and opengl. What i just said is my last submission of CAT was %5 slower than yesterdays CAT. CAT tag is always opengl right?

I just realized that we can change to opengl or directx from options menu for "benchmark tags" such as tiger and cat. I ran through cat(opengl) and got 6000ish points when i do this for directx-cat i got 10000 again. I think AMD cards do good on only direct-x.

Hi, yeah AMD openGL drivers are really bad . I don't know what about those 500 points.
We were changing a lot to make it run on HD4000 integrated chip.

Thanks for your efforts. Really a comparative table here. People gets the idea of balance between gpu and cpu and even the ram.
