As owners of the extended version of 3DMark 11, we decided to get a little acquainted with the new test package for graphics cards.
3DMark 11 is designed to evaluate computer performance, tests make extensive use of DirectX 11 features, including tessellation, shader calculations and multi-threading.
The program greets the user with a window for selecting a test group and mode:
The Entry (E) group settings were created for testing laptops and netbooks; the resolution of 1024x600 was selected in accordance with the purpose of the group.
The Performance (P) group is intended to evaluate the performance of most desktop computers, the standard resolution for this group is 1280x720 (720p).
The third group, Extreme (X), sets the resolution to 1920x1080 (1080p). This is the most difficult standard test suite designed for high-performance computers.
In the lower half of the window, you must select the test mode, and then run the package.
In the second tab “Advanced” you can select the necessary tests from the package, as well as customize them to your own requirements:
The first graphics test is based on the Deep Sea scene, which can be seen in the video below. This test does not use tessellation, but the test is made more difficult by lighting from multiple sources and rendering complex shadows:
The second test uses the same scene, but with a medium level of tessellation added and the lighting level slightly reduced:
The third test with medium tessellation and single source lighting is based on the High Temple episode:
The same scene is used in the fourth test of the video card, but this time the tessellation level is already complex, and calculations of shadows from several sources are heavier:
The physics test simulates the physics of bodies with a large number of objects:
The combined test simulates the physics of bodies with a moderate number of objects; the DirectCompute API and Bullet Physics libraries are used to calculate physics. Along with modeling the physics of objects, an average level of tessellation is used:
We decided to test the available system. Test system configuration:
The EVGA video card acted as the first tester GeForce GTX 470 SuperClocked:
The operating system was installed on the system Windows system 7 64-bit, used for video card current version NVIDIA drivers GeForce/ION 260.99.
To begin with, we selected the Performance test group with default settings. Frankly speaking, we were somewhat surprised by the “brakes” when passing the tests, as intended by the developers for the bulk of PCs. What can I say, everything can be seen in the results:
The video card scored 4406 points, the average FPS did not rise above 26, and for the most part it could not reach 20 fps.
The result of testing with Extreme settings was already predictable:
The result was 1370 points, the number of frames per second in the tests resembled a turn-based strategy.
Here we have our first acquaintance with 3DMark 11. The complexity of the tests is quite understandable - the performance indicators are aimed far ahead, and the current generation of mid-range video cards are not able to cope with the complexity inherent in the tests. We can only guess what we can expect in future games that take full advantage of DirectX capabilities.
Usually, in reviews of video cards (sometimes motherboards and processors) we show test results in graphics applications. And naturally, our readers may have questions: how do we get these results and why is this necessary? Veterans of overclocking (and not only) are unlikely to be interested in answers to these questions, but beginners or people who are encountering some test packages for the first time may be helped by our descriptions of the programs in which testing takes place. We will try to explain to you, step by step: what programs are needed for this, how to run the test and how to view the result.
Yes, but why carry out testing? For example, to know how different the performance of video cards based on different chips is, or how different the performance of identical video cards is, but from different manufacturers. Are these video cards ready for the games of both today and tomorrow, and also find out how productive the system is as a whole.
Since we always present results in reviews starting with synthetic tests, then, perhaps, we will start with such applications. We will not describe the theory, so as not to simply copy information from Russian-language sites, but will completely devote the article to practice, focusing on the main parameters and settings of test packages.
So, the main measure of performance in synthetic applications today is a series of 3DMark test packages from Futuremark Corporation, namely:
The first of them is quite old, but has not yet lost its relevance, 3DMark2005 is used in almost all tests, and the last one is 3DMark2006, this is an updated and expanded 3DMark2005. But unlike the 2005 version, 3DMark2006 takes graphics quality to a more advanced level, showing the capabilities of games of the near future and, perhaps, in a year or two it will become the de facto standard in the field of testing the graphics subsystem, especially taking into account full support for dual-core processors. We will not consider 3Dmark2001SE in this article, since it is highly processor-dependent and does not provide an accurate assessment of the video subsystem.
Now let's look at how to download these programs and how much it costs (meaning the cost of test packages). All 3DMarks are free to download (Free version), but have limited functionality. Thus, you cannot change settings, select each test separately, or view the full Demo. But you have the opportunity to carry out all the basic tests. If you need more advanced capabilities of these packages, namely, change testing settings (resolution, anti-aliasing, etc.), select each of the tests, then in this case you will have to pay from 14.95 to 19.95 dollars (depending on the program - latest version, as a rule, more expensive than their predecessors). And all this is only for individual use for non-commercial purposes, i.e. Houses. And in order to be able to use 3DMark as a testing tool in your laboratory or in production (for example, when testing computers), you will have to fork out and buy 3DMark 2005 Business for $240 or 3DMark 2006 Professional, but for $490! 3DMark2003 available for only $14.95.
Naturally, to describe this software, without having a license for it, we could not, so Futuremark Corporation kindly provided full versions 3DMark packages for our tests.
Let's start with 3DMark03 or 3DMark2003, whichever is more convenient for you. By downloading this application(about 178 MB), or by installing from an installation disk (sometimes supplied with video cards from some manufacturers), you can start testing. But remember that the 3DMark2003 program must be version 3.6.0 (if you have old version package, then the update can be downloaded, otherwise your result will not be counted. :)
So, everything has been downloaded and installed, which means you can proceed to launching the program. If you are using the Free version, the program window will look like this:
The "Details..." button is responsible for information about your system: what processor, video card, operating system etc. To run the test, just click "Run 3DMark". The only drawback is that all tests are used, even those that have absolutely no effect on the final result (parrots :)). Also, in this version it is impossible to change the settings that are set by default, namely: resolution 1024x768, trilinear filtering, antialiasing disabled.
After passing all the tests, you will see this window with the result:
"Online ResultBrowser" allows you to place your result in the ORB online database, where the achievements of overclockers from all over the world are collected. We will look at how to place your result in ORB in the second part of this article, but now let’s move on to “Details...”. By clicking this button you can view the result of each test separately.
The main tests are Game Tests with the 3DMark Score result obtained after passing them. This is exactly the result we indicate in our articles about video cards. For processor tests, CPU Test is used with the CPU Score result, but it is not objective enough. When testing platforms, still use Game Tests in conjunction with CPU Test. The remaining tests have no practical significance for us yet. Perhaps we will talk about them in more detail, expanding the theoretical part, but that will be another story. For now, let's return to the main points of testing with the 3DMark2003 package. In the free version, in the result window there is an inactive "To Excel" button - it becomes active if you use the Pro version of 3DMark2003 and allows you to transfer the results to Excel program, subject to its availability in the system. If you are not satisfied with the basic features, you will have to pay the required amount to receive a code that allows you to upgrade Free version up to Pro version. After receiving the code, click the "Register..." button in the main window, enter the password, and you are the happy owner of 3DMark2003 Pro.
After registration, you can choose any test you need, you can change the settings so that the test is repeated several times, you can even loop it if you want to test the “strength” of your hardware. To select tests, click "Select..." and select what you need. Selection of all tests – “Select All” button, reset – “Clear” button.
By clicking "Change...", you can select the resolution that your monitor supports (modern video cards support 2048x1536 and even more, so everything will depend on your monitor), antialiasing, and filtering mode. When choosing anisotropic filtering, do not forget to specify the maximum value - from 1 to 16. Recently, in our articles we are increasingly using the resolution of 1024x768 and 1280x1024 (this resolution will be very interesting for users of LCD monitors with a diagonal size of 17" and above), and for the load on the video subsystem – anti-aliasing (AA) 4x and anisotropic filtering (AF) 16x.
Here you can select how many times you can repeat the test (Repeat each test) or repeat it endlessly (Loop all selected tests). After changing the settings, you can always restore them to their original settings using the "Defaults" button.
We have covered the main points about this program, now you can move on to the next package - 3DMark2005.
Download the 3DMark05 application version 1.2.0 (about 283 MB), if you have an older version, then you need to update it to the same version 1.2.0. After installation and subsequent launch of the program, a registration window will appear - if you paid for the Pro version ($14.95), you can enter the code, if not, click “Continue”.
The long-awaited 3DMark2005 window appears, but the annoying hint will interfere every time you start the package, so you will have to close it each time (in the registered version the hint can be disabled).
The structure of the main window has remained virtually unchanged compared to 3DMark2003 - a "Graphs..." button has been added, designed for plotting graphs. As in the previous version - free program, does not allow you to change any settings, all tests are run with default settings (the same as in 3DMark2003). Let's run the test.
The result window is almost identical to the previous version. Let's look at Details:
In 3DMark2005, everything unnecessary is already disabled (of the additional ones, only CPU Tests remain) - the test completion time has now become shorter. As before, the main test for video cards is Game Tests, for the processor - the less objective CPU Test.
Now let's look at the registered version.
Selection of tests:
Test settings:
Changing resolution, texture filtering, anti-aliasing - everything is here. Additional settings you can leave it as default. In 3DMark2005 we test in the same way as in 3DMark2003. And, given the similarity in the settings of these test packages, we think that it is not worth describing them in detail.
With each version of 3DMark, the size of the installation file becomes larger and larger, and now it takes up 580 MB. We install, launch and, if there is an activation code (Advanced version - $19.95), then enter it in the appropriate window.
If you do not have the code, then click "Continue". Next is a prompt that needs to be closed every time you load the application, and if you register 3DMark2006, the prompt can be disabled. The main window of this test package has undergone some changes compared to 3DMark2003 and 3DMark2005.
"Results" already has a separate column listing the results of test subgroups. A game was also added (the "Game..." button) based on the CPU test, but only for the Advanced version. As in previous free versions 3DMark - no changes to settings, only what is set by default: resolution is now 1280x1024, trilinear filtering, antialiasing disabled.
Now, after passing the main tests, in addition to the final result, you will be provided additional information for each test subgroup.
The "Submit Your Results..." button is equivalent to the "Online ResultBrowser" in the 3DMark2003 and 3DMark2005 packages. The inactive "To Excel" button becomes active after registering 3DMark2006, and, as in previous versions, allows you to transfer the results to Excel.
By clicking "Details..." you can view the results for each test.
If you register 3DMark2006, you will be able to select each test individually, but unlike 3DMark2003 and 3DMark2005, in this application the final result is calculated along with the processor test. You should not disable tests before Feature Tests, otherwise you will not get the final result.
Test settings will appear if you click the "Change..." button in the main window.
Here, as in previous packages, basic settings are collected, such as: resolution, anti-aliasing, texture filtering. You can also choose how many times to repeat the test (Repeat each test) or loop it endlessly (Loop all selected tests). When testing in this package, we leave all the settings at default, and only to increase the load on the video card we use anti-aliasing (AA) 4x and anisotropic filtering (AF) 16x.
So, we have looked at the basic testing methodology with 3DMark programs; it remains to say a few words about setting up video card drivers. When testing all video cards based on chips, both nVidia and ATI (or other manufacturers), we adjust the “performance” in the driver to “high quality”.
We hope that the steps described above will help you in testing with synthetic packages 3DMark2003, 3DMark2005 and 3DMark2006. In the next part of this article we'll look at how to put your score (and maybe even your record) into an online database
3dMark is one of the most common tests/benchmarks of video cards in the PC world. This test is produced by the company Furthermark, which has been a leader in the production of various PC tests and benchmarks for several years now. In addition to the test program (benchmark) 3dMark, company Furthermark announced to the world computer community a comprehensive computer test PCMark, test mobile devices 3DMark Mobile and others. In this article I will tell novice users how to use the benchmark 3DMark, as well as how to test a video card.
How to install the 3DMark video card test
Installing a test (benchmark) 3DMark is no different from installing regular programs and is performed using the installation wizard.
The first window, as usual, is informative and tells you about the video card test being installed. Next, select the installation path and wait until the process of copying files is completed and the necessary entries are made in the system registry.
After installing the program, you will be asked to enter the purchased license code. If you have not yet purchased the program, you will be able to use a limited version that does not allow you to record video card test results or change benchmark settings. When everything is ready, click Next and launch the program using the shortcut from the Desktop.
First, let's decide why test a video card at all? Test the video card with a benchmark 3DMark possible for various reasons:
It is necessary to identify a defect or check its presence
It is necessary to compare test results on different configurations or with/without overclocking
I just want to show off the level of my video card or watch beautiful cartoons
We have listed the main needs for testing a video card in a test/benchmark 3DMark. You can start testing your video card.
To run the video card tests by default, just press the button Run 3DMark. After this, all the necessary video card tests will run in full screen mode, after which the results window will open. Number of points, in fictitious currency 3DMarks, will show how well your video card coped with the results of all tests.
To view more detailed statistics, click the button Details.
Detailed statistics provides a complete report on the scores of various tests 3DMark, of which the tests of the video card itself are GameTests, A CPU Tests- processor tests, respectively.
So, the most useful purpose of a video card test is 3DMark All that remains is to check for manufacturing defects in the components. That is, with the help of this video card test, we can easily determine the presence of graphic garbage or so-called video card artifacts, that is, defective graphics memory of the video card. If your graphics card is faulty, you will notice strange colored stripes or dots on the screen while you are taking the test. Be vigilant, and if you have the slightest problem or suspicion, take the video card to service center. Freezes when testing a video card in 3DMark also indicate its malfunction, so do not go far during testing.
Setting up the 3DMark video card test
We have considered only default testing, but sometimes you need to independently set the program to perform only the necessary tests. To do this, we need to purchase a licensed version of the program.
Please note that the program window is divided into 3 columns: Tests, Settings, System.
The first column shows information about the selected video card tests, which you can always change by clicking the button Select.
In the window that opens, tick the required tests and click OK. Done, now 3DMark perform only the previously noted video card tests and will show the results specifically for them.
Second column, Settings, will allow you to configure video card testing, click Change.
In this window you can change screen resolution, turn on or off texture filtering and antialiasing, but these settings are not for novice PC users, so I advise you to leave them as default.
