(HD) Unigine Heaven (1.0) benchmark on 3870 X2 and Core i7 920 @ 4,2GHz

[greyfoxzero]

Ya from what I read it goes back to the radeon 8500, wow. It bothers me that they advertised the feature but it was never used in games. I remember when Ati lost the lawsuit about advertising HDCP in certain cards but it was unusable. They advertised 2 features in the hd4000 series that never saw the light of day in actual games, tesselation and hardware physics. I would be pissed if I owned one of those cards, pissed enough to consider a class action lawsuit. Why not, its happened before.

just run the same settings as you arvutihull..difference being q6600@3.6ghz ddr2@1200mhz..cat drivers 10.4... score 1047, fps 41.6...Looks as if the cat drivers have improved heaven benchmark for the old 3870x2 :)

How will a single 3870 fair with Tessellation or how well would a 3870 +3850 setup fair since that is all about I can afford for my ATI box?

[arvutihull]

Tesselation is only supported by ATi's 5000 series GPU's at the moment.

[greyfoxzero]

@arvutihull Tesselation goes all the way back to the hd 2000 series.

[3kliksphilip]

@greyfoxzero Actually it goes back to way before that, I think the 9700 series supported it. But it was ATI's own version and it never really caught off. DX11 set it as the standard and since then the companies have had to adopt that standard (And ironically, despite ATI pushing for it for years, Nvidia's first cards that supported it were far more efficient at coping with tessellation). Good on ATI for developing the technology so early on though, I just wish they weren't held back.

[dogzer]

hey, how about you stop lying about this being directx 11 man

[arvutihull]

Where did I say that this is DX11?

[LogSubmarine]

that wasn't dx11 you can tell by the roof shingles & the dragon and the fact that you didn't have a dx11 compatible card epic fail

[arvutihull]

Where did I say that this is DX11?

[LogSubmarine]

you didn't but when i searched dx11 this came up so got pissed off, i hate search engines

[arvutihull]

lol.

[cssima]

Where's the hardware tessellation -.-

[arvutihull]

Not possible with 3870 X2.

[L4veyan]

Looks like dx 10 is made to look crappier for purpose :)

[sammymm6]

i have a alienware m15x with ati radeon hd 3870, 2.6ghz, core 2 duo and 2 gigs of ram

could i run this on high or max settings?

[arvutihull]

Definately not on maximum settings, but it should run great at medium settings and no AA.

[sammymm6]

thanks man

[Decenium]

sorry to tell you but that rig is not really up to date anymore

[Raffix394]

just try it out it's a benchmark ^^ hmm I am considering buying an m15x,seems you have an older model, newer m15x currently and sadly don't have ATI graphic cards as an option :(

[sammymm6]

i got mine for 1000 after taxes cause its a older model

[megotrice]

40.9FPS

1029 Score

GTS250 + Q6600

:3

[Gargonk]

is mummy blow-drying her hair in the background -.-

[DITOXI]

where can i download this??

[arvutihull]

Google it, you should find it.

[arvutihull]

Tänud!

[MrDevlance]

This demo looks like shit without hardware tesselation on. Once you have seen it with tesselation on, you can't go back!

[turokdinosaurkiller]

awesome as always!

[arvutihull]

Thanks!!

[marland66]

Awesome!

[arvutihull]

Thank you! :-)

Intel Q9550 2.8Ghz, ATI 4850 CrossfireX, 4Gb Ram, Windows 7 Heaven Demo v1.0 FPS: 29.3 Scores: 738 Settings Render: direct3d10 Mode: 1920 x 1200 fullscreen 4xAA Shaders: high Textures: high Filter: trilinear Anisotropy: 16x Occlusion: enabled Refraction: enabled Volumetric: enabled

[arvutihull]

Nice!

[club4ghz]

not bad how about 4870x2? add4xaa;p

[arvutihull]

I'll upload a video about 4870 X2 tomorrow, everything maxed out except DX11 and tesselation.

[club4ghz]

nice but run 4xaa not 8 all thoes unigine benchmarks need vsync on to run good with aax8 its somethink wrong with optymalization

[arvutihull]

Too late already... I made the video about 4870 X2 yesterday :-)

With 8xAA, 16AF and all maxed @ 1680x1050 I got over 40FPS average so the score isn't too bad...

[club4ghz]

yep nice i got

72 fps 4xaa

57 fps 8xaa

[Cobac]

why didnt you buy 5870 inc rossfire for dx 11 ?

[arvutihull]

I'm waiting for 5870 X2 or 5970.

[ATIeliteTeam]

awsome man :)

[arvutihull]

Thank you! :-)

[narcisrm]

Ati Radeon HD4770 x2 is much better no?

[arvutihull]

ATi Radeon HD 4770 X2 doesn't exist.

[narcisrm]

Srry, 4870x2 xD, thanks for rapid response

[arvutihull]

4870 X2 is about twice as fast as 3870 X2 :-)

[narcisrm]

ok, thanks

[Rune101rune]

Nice

[arvutihull]

Thanks

[KooolaNL]

i have shitty results for my GTX295 d|-_-|b

[KooolaNL]

did u get a new Camera ?

[arvutihull]

No I've had this one for 3 months now.

[KooolaNL]

ahh ok lol i see settings already

[KooolaNL]

nice

[arvutihull]

thanks!

[toutagamon]

Cool! My 3870 scores about 20fps at 1920x1080! :S lol

I agree, this demo on dual cypress or dual fermi, will be a bomb!

[arvutihull]

Thanks! Nice! I made a video about 4870 X2 also, higher FPS and with 8xFSAA... I suspect that 3870 doesn't have enough VRAM to run it with FSAA, with 3870 X2 and 2xFSAA I got about 50% worse FPS than with FSAA off.

[toutagamon]

Rrv670s never did like AA along with AF. There was some internal bottleneck, all of which belongs in the past with the 4000 and 5000 series!

[jaju123456]

I got 42 fps on my 5850 at 1920x1080 with 2xAA - otherwise the same!

[arvutihull]

Sweet!

Can't wait to run it maxed on 5870 X2 + DX11 and tesselation enabled... :-)

[jaju123456]

hehe I got 26 fps with tesselation otherwise same settings xD
