Shader and Framerate Comparison: r1701 - r1713
Treynolds416:
I felt like being a scientist today, so I gathered a lot of data comparing the way shaders looked in r1701 to the way they look now, in r1713. Also I compiled framerates.
TESTING SPECIFICATIONS:
[*]Radeon 7850 by Asus @860 mhz (no OC)
[*]Intel Ivy Bridge i5-3750k processor @3.4 ghz (no OC)
[*]Max brick fx quality, particle quality, anisotropy,and draw distance
[*]No forced AA or anisotropy
[*]Resolution @ 1920 x 1080p (fullscreen)
[*]Build used is ACM City (16,478 bricks)
[*]Fixed camera transform set at "-95 25 35 0.1 -0.25 1 2.5"
[*]Framerate data gathered from metrics(fps);[/list]
I hate BBCode I have to put this here to add space in between the headings
WHAT I RECORDED
[*]Six different revision/revision settings
[/list]
- r1701
- r1713 (none)
- r1713 (Pre-Swap glFinish)
- r1713 (Pre-Swap glFlush)
- r1713 (Post-Swap glFinish)
- r1713 (Post-Swap glFlush)
[*]Seven different shader settings
[/list]
- Off
- Minimum
- Low
- Medium
- High
- Very High
- Max/Ultra
[*]Screenshots of all possible combinations
[*]Framerates of all possible combinations[/list]

THE DATA
Disclaimer: I am giving you guys only the raw data here. I did not make any attempt to make this easier to understand. The reason for this is so I don't feel obligated to make up some bullstuff generalizing trend brown townysis. Feel free to do that yourselves.

snozola:
You deserve a prize of some sort for your work in the field.
Ipquarx:
I will make you nice graphs tommorow. Also, wow.
Uxie²:
I find that odd, performance decreased in Off, Minimum, and Low in r1713.
Everything else improved.
