Shadermark 2.1

[MaBru]

Overview

ShaderMark 2.1 is a DirectX 9.0 pixel shader benchmark. All pixel and vertex shader code is written in Microsoft’s High Level Shading Language. ShaderMark provides the possibility to use different compiler targets and advanced options. It also features a picture quality comparison based on mean square error (MSE) values.


Motivation

Currently there is no DirectX 9.0 HLSL pixel shader benchmark on the market. Futuremark's 3DMark03 (www.futuremark.com) and Massive's AquaMark 3.0 (www.aquamark.com) are bases on hand written assembler shaders or partly HLSL shaders. HLSL is the future of shader development! The HLSL shader compiler and its different profiles have to be tested and this gap fills ShaderMark v2.1. Driver cheating is also an issue. With ShaderMark, it is easily possible to change the underlying HLSL shader code which makes it impossible to “optimize” a driver for a certain shader, instead of the whole shader pipeline. ShaderMark v2.1 is also the first pixel shader benchmark, which measures the performance of the new shader model 3.0.


IMPORTANT - Driver & GPU requirements

* The minimum system spec. is a shader model 2_0 card with DirectX 9.0c installed!
* ATi: You need the latest Catalyst 4.9 in order to run ShaderMark v2.1 - the Shadow Mapping (shader 20) and Bump Mapping (shader 19) issues will be fixed in one of the next Catalyst Releases!!!
* NVIDIA: Please use the latest 66.31 Driver from Station-Drivers, the 61.77 won't work!!!


What's new or changed in v2.1?

* it's now free for all, no limited shareware version anymore
* reduced cpu + driver overhead through redundant render state filtering
* GPU performance optimized resource allocation
* support for shader model 2_b and 3_0
* nearly all shaders undergone changes and fixes
* testing of >2_0 shaders
* dynamic pixel shader flow control testing
* floating point texture filtering performance testing
* multiple render target performance testing
* multiple shader test
* mean square error (MSE) calculation in the image quality test - hardware rasterizer vs. Microsoft reference rasterizer.

C'è scritto che ci vogliono i cata 4.9 ma io l'ho fatto lo stesso coi 4.8... anche se mi salta 4 test probabilmente appunto per via dei drivers.

Cmq ecco i miei result :)

Ragazzi l'ho scaricato ma con i 61.76 non parte il benchmark.
Sto scaricando i 66.31.
Ciao

[vegeta88]

Anche con i 66.31 quando digito P per il Benchmark mi da
Warming Chaces e subito dopo esce dall'applicazione mah....
Ciao:) :)
