Nice work, Mike.

How on earth did you acquire a dual-processor motherboard with opterons, those are server processors. o_o

I built the most powerful computer I could afford for my video editing. It's a beast. In retrospect, I should have purchased twice the RAM (or twice the modules). The motherboard is a SuperMicro H8DCE.

I'm getting just over 11 FPS with the Optimized (8xMSAA) version and 186 FPS with the 2xMSAA version.

You wouldn't be able to do anything with twice the RAM without also switching to a 64-bit OS

All three worked for me.

The speed on the optimized examples kinda varied a lot, but here are my estimates:
Unoptimized: 5fps
2xAA: ~250fps
8xAA: ~100fps

Computer specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-860 @ 3.19 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
OS: Windows 7 x64

I have to say, that's very impressive. I'm really looking forward to being able to create more complex 3D games.

Dell xps 14 6gb ram and 2gb gt 425m nvdia graphics card. Intel i7 2.93ghz in turbo mode.


Optimised runs at 90 at the beggining, and ends up running from 40 to 50
gm8.1.71 runs at 3-4 fps
Fallback one runs at 134 at the beginning and ends up in running between 100 and 110.

The most efficient one is the Fallback one, and it runs at high speed in here, the optimised is ok, but it then slows down 2 times than when it started to run in a matter of seconds.

Yes and no. First, I was expecting to upgrade, but legacy drivers have kept me 32-bit. Second, I would still benefit from dual-channel memory access. As it is, I only have one memory module per core, and that's holding things back.

3DCube_24BitZ_2xAA_With_AA_Fallback- 12-15 FPS
3DCube_24BitZ_8xAA_Optimised- Failed to initialize Drawing Surfaces
3DCube_gm8.1.71- 1-2 FPS

Cool, so this will be in the C++ runner? if so it will allow us to make great things for IOS and Android..

3DCube_gm8.1.71 2fps

3DCube_24BitZ_8xAA_Optimised "Failed to initialize surfaces......."

I have read the previous posts in this thread. The 3D examples have problems with Intel integrated display chips.

Unoptimized: 5-6 FPS

Optimized with 2xAA: 500-800 FPS**

Intel i5-2500k @ 3.3 GHz
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti

*My processor is changing its clock speed a lot while running this corresponding to the changes in FPS. It never fully utilizes an entire core and just seems to decide that it just doesn't need to run that fast so down clocks to conserve power, I guess.
**Similar to last test the clock speed adjusts a lot, but to a lesser extent.

wooaaah, pretty beast hardware and frame rates!

These particular upgrades are entirely dependent on DirectX, so this doesn't really mean anything for those platforms. The techniques employed may be applicable to other APIs. 3D and surface support are expected to appear for iOS in the future.

I tested on two machines, both running Windows 7 SP1 64-bit. Here are the builds:

Desktop
CPU: Intel Core i7 @ 2.67Ghz
RAM: 6GB
GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 470 (1GB)

Laptop
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz
RAM: 3GB
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (500MB)

And here are the results:

Desktop

• 3DCube_24BitZ_2xAA_With_AA_Fallback - Min: 206, Max: 536, Avg: 220-260
• 3DCube_24BitZ_8xAA_Optimised - Min: 523, Max: 822, Avg: 520-560
• 3DCube_gm8.1.71 / GMK - Min: 4, Max: 5, Avg: 4-5

Laptop

• 3DCube_24BitZ_2xAA_With_AA_Fallback - Min: 60, Max: 211, Avg: 62-64
• 3DCube_24BitZ_8xAA_Optimised - Min: 24, Max: 153, Avg: 23-26
• 3DCube_gm8.1.71 / GMK - Min: 3, Max: 4, Avg: 3-4

I noticed that in each of the tests (didn't wait long enough to test this on the unoptimized / GMK version) the test ran much better when the blue side of the cubes was showing. I'm not sure why this is, but the difference was quite noticeable.

[mcoot]

Wow! That is a MASSIVE improvement.

8.1.71 gave me 5fps...

Optimised version (both with and without fallback) gave me a consistent 650fps.

Intel Core i7-860 Quad Core @ 2.8GHz
ATI Radeon HD 5850
8GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 x64

That is an amazing improvement.

[Desert Dog]

This is what the big boys have to deal with, so I guess unless you keep your poly counts pathetically low, you'll now have to do the same!

Well, is pathetically low worse than what we're use to with older GM version?

[~Dannyboy~]

3DCube_gm8.1.71 - 3~4fps
3DCube_24BitZ_8xAA_Optimised - 37fps
