consolation Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Don't get me wrong, I like OGLE Viewer - it allows you a far more detailed look at your card's abilities than OM; especially in separating the abilities of newer and older cards etc etc... It's just that, for a "quick'n'dirty" overview of raw speed, it's a bit of an over-kill, IMHO. I'd be interested to see the OGLE Viewer results for 7900s with high LOD/AA vs 7600GTs at same settings. I suspect the high core speed of the 7600GTs lets you draw a lot of relatively simple polygons but, once it has to process them more it should fall off relatively to the slower but more sophisticated high-end cards. That, or the kext just doesn't take advantage of those cards as it should - I'm speculating here... P.S.

Korrupted Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Kind of offtopic, but here's a screen I took of my results with my 7900 GS in the OGLE Viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... that's rather poor. this is my 7600gt Could you rerun your test with the following settings: 1280X1024X32 (60Hz) Display Mode Tick multisample set to 4 Untick LOD, set slider to 0 Anistropy set to 16 Tick Use Fog This the same GT with those settings OGLEV7600gt.tiff OGLEV76gt_2.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

consolation Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 So the kexts aren't unbalanced then? I think they probably use the same kexts, I thought that maybe they are not taking full advantage of your card. Seem like they are; just that the 7600GT is really good at churning out simple polygons. But the (relative) small number of pixel/vertex shaders shows when you start processing the output more.

SA22C Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Here's the results for my 7900 GTO 512 MB. Test settings: 1280X1024X32 (60Hz) Display Mode Tick multisample set to 4 Untick LOD, set slider to 0 Anistropy set to 16 Tick Use Fog Interesting that the results are basically the same as the 7900GS in this test, but that my card pulls away quite handily in the OpenMark test, posting a score that is approximately 50% faster.

FavleX Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 These are my results: stock conditions score 294 with Open GL fsb=166 score 373 with Open GL My stupid question:changing the fsb at the boot influences the performance on the entire system as indicated , or the becnhmarks results are not real at all , 'cause the time is not set correctly ? ( I mean the clocktime is going slower) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord xeon Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 you are supposed to tick Multisample ;-) oops, thanks. here are the real ones i guess: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
consolation Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 or the becnhmarks results are not real at all , 'cause the time is not set correctly ? ( I mean the clocktime is going slower) yep that's the one. The bios sets your fsb, not the fsb=xxx switch. That only tells OS X what fsb it's running on. Now, if the real time is faster than the reported time, the benchmark will think the card did more "work" in a shorter period = inflated results.

FavleX Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 thanks consolation for clarification! ok a bit OT , Is it possible overclock from inside xp virtual (parallels) and after switch off it , having in the osx running a real overclock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulu.Walker Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Pretty fast card, a clear 2000 points over a stock 7600GT. What is it clocked at default? And it's even fanless... sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think stock core clock is 560mhz or 580mhz : and this cards core clock is 650mhz the card's cooling is quite nice and adiquate but im gonna be lapping and polishing that it up to be a bit cooler.

iRed Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 This is my first time to do this test.So is this result ok and is higher FPS better or not? Graphic card : ATI X1950XTX 512RAM but this test see my card as X1900 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayman Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Could it be that the ATI drivers perform much better in OSX right now than Nvidia Drivers? Here are my NVIDIA 7900 GTO results - I'm using a Dual Screen Setup, 1st mon: 1280x1024@85, 2nd mon: 1440x900@60hz. Still, the ATI results MacIntelrator posted are mucho better. Also, I've been trying Maya on OSX86 and it's unbearably slow. Marking Menus take about 0.25 to 0.50 seconds to accept, nothing is instant, it just feels totally sluggish.
