Sysmon x1000 9250 speed @ zzd10h

@goos.

Wow that is fast!
Where did you get your adapter? What 9250 do you have?

@Goos

Nice. I never thought of using a PCI-X adaptor. You also clearly have a 128-bit Radeon 9250.

EDIT: No, you have a 64-bit card (as you said below). Look at the FillRect result again...

Which adaptor & graphics card model did you use?

Hans

@Hans

looks like a Supermicro RSC-RR1UE-AXL adaptor with a PCI-E 8x Extender cable.
Following a quick google search, they seem quite expensive :(

@ddni

Right, it is a Supermicro RSC RR1UE-AXL RSC-RR1UE-AXL + PCI-E 8x Extender cable

and the gfxcard model:
ATI Sapphire Radeon 9250 128MB/64bit DDR PCI VGA/TVO/DVI-I

@Goos

Thanks for the link, 74e is a bit expensive though. I wonder if there are any less expensive options?

Whoa 64bit card? Are you sure? From your results, I would have bet my mortgage that it was a 128bit card.

@ddni

Iam not totally sure, but the card is labeled as 64 Bit DDR

here some photos of my radeon 9250:

@Goos

Interesting.
Can you rerun sysmon with the card in a pci slot.
Take a look at the 640x480 Hardware rect fill results.
My 64bit card is 27% slower than zzd10h 128bit card.

Your 64bit card overcomes this apparent bottleneck and may make a 128bit card less essential.

edit.

Your card is DDR so 64bit x2 = 128bit?

@ddni


ok here the Sysmon screenshot with the card in pci slot:

@Goos

Thanks.

Now I am confused, your results are a real mix of better and worse than Guillaumes benchmark 128bit 9250.
One thing is certain, your new adapter makes ahuge difference and the x1000 pci slots are slowwwwwwww.

@Goos
should work on 460 too, right ?


edit :would love to see a 9000 pro pci with this thing :)

@netrot

i'm interested in that as well if this adaptor brings better result in our Sam460 with radeon 9250 or more or less is the same directly into PCI66 slot, perhaps our pci66 slot is better than x1000 pci slots.... who knows?

@sofistisoftware

looking at the gfxbench2d scores, the SAM460 pci slots are miles better than the X1000 pci slots!

@ddni

Isn't the x1000 pci 33mhz and 460 has 66mhz pci?

@Antique

yes.

@netrot

ive now find the time to test the adapter in my sam460, but sadly the sam
does'nt boot with the adapter :(


But the onboard PCI of the Sam already performs to good results:

@Goos
thanks for testing :)

@Goos

If you get time, please can you test BSzillis' OPenJK port with your Supermicro RSC-RR1UE-AXL and post performance here.

@ddni

i made up my mind getting a radeon 9250 128bit and pci-e/pci riser. my pci is occupied by a 4-port sata card, and my pcie-1x is occupied by a sound card. i will not change this

could anyone point me in the correct, so i get the best compatible riser card and the best ati card?

thanks:)

@ddni

Hi just bought the Steam Version of Jedi Academy ... this weekend only 3,05 EUR so i have some money saved, to do some donations ;)

runs very playable here on my Radeon9250...

here a short Video of my first Jedi season:

@Goos
Speed is 100% better than on my peg2. I think it's x2 times faster. So your adapter make sense for sure, and that will be one i will use in my Cyrus too then.

What settings btw ? 640x480 and all details at minimum,etc ? Mine one like this when i say its slower than your for about 2 times.

What FPS you have with Q3 for example ?:)

Can you also test plz LodePaint (opengl based paint app, it have a fps counter at the bottom right side of window). For me on winxp it give 50 fps all the time (and when i painting too), but on peg2 when i painting it reduces to about 20fps. Probably on x1000 with your adapter it can be 50fps always too..
