Mmm it's not too mutch considering the big difference between our systems, I hope there will be room for further optimization !

@zzd10h

Can you do a complete test with all the 4 resolutions above ?

X1000 @1800mhz
Radeon R9 280 @ 850Mhz

Cow 3D

93-94 fps

Quake2

Texture quality = full
8-bit textures = yes
Sync every frame = no
Lockmode = manual

Map = Demo1

320x240 56.8fps
400x300 56.9fps
512x384 55.9fps
640x480 55.3fps

Why the Sam460 would get better results with cow3d is a mystery to me. I get about 95-96 fps (a1_x1000 + HD 7770), and pushing 'b' makes zero difference.

For Quake 3, it has the overhead of MiniGL (cow3d is pure Warp3D), and it has other stuff to calculate too. So it's not surprising that the more powerful CPU wins.

@Hans

Thank you for the reply.


@Alain
Any ideas why X1000 is very worst than SAM460 on your Cow3D ?

Thx

@Zzd10h

I agree with Hans for quake :it use much the cpu
for cow3d only the bus speed may explain the differences

Alain

for me, cow3d under wazp3d works, but reports 0FPS.
Why is this?

@thellier

Thanks for explanation.

Therefore it means that X1000 have the worst bus speed ? Even worst than a SAM460... strange.

Sam460ex - Radeon HD7750
Quake3

640x480 - 37.8 FPS
800x600 - 32.9 FPS
1024x768 - 31.6 FPS
1280x1024 - 29.9 FPS
1600x1200 - 28.4 FPS


With default settings (640x480)
34.3 FPS

No, the X1000 has a faster FSB and larger caches. If also gets faster transfer rates to VRAM than the Sam460. So, something else must be at play here.

@Hans

Maybe related than the only users that complains about slowness of FE (compared to 4.1.6) are X1000 users (me, Raziel, xenic, Guibrush, K-L and certainly more) and no SAM460 users have reported some slowness.

Maybe ?

@zzd10h
>Yes, I tested it, Bears or all your others animated objects work fine. (RxMicrobe3D too)
Many thanks again Guillaume

You are welcome !

I remember a Frieden talking at one point about how Q3 was spending most of its time in inefficiencies in the way the 2D talks to the 3D subsystem, is that why results aren't as fast as they should be on q3?
I get just over 21fps on q3 on my A1 (800MHz, Radeon 9250), but it should really be higher.
Didn't FE change the graphics subsystem? Does minigl need to be updated to work more efficiently?

Owner: Breed
HW: X1000 with Radeon HD 7750
quake3 timedemo1: 41FPS
cow3d: 90-95FPS

@Hans

>> and pushing 'b' makes zero difference

When I press b I go from 95 to 97

Not a big difference no!

@Slayer

I go for 119 to 144 .

really interested to that point...

Still waiting for my card. These Zombie Jesus public holidays are playing havoc with the postal service.

@Spectre660

Yes but I think we are just discussing the AmigaOne X1000 here, enjoy the stats while you can ;)

How to test quake3 demo???
