New Graphics Tweak from Jason :)

http://www.ghostsecurity.com/index.php?page=ghost3dtweak

If it works like on the screenshot of his homepage there will be someone smiling this evening

I can't wait...

 

I bet 100 to 1 that you'll beat me to the smiling

EDIT:- I'll do this later I think. Post your results please and I will too when I get it downloaded later.

 

It certainly does raise the scores quite significantly!

3DMark05 went from 4102 to around 11000.

Aquamark03 from 57080 to 75590.

yieeehaaaaaaaaa I wish I was home allready, I'll post an overclocked one without the tool just for you Jade and Firecat (I'll give my best shot...) and then I'll do it with that tool, will post it here

edit:

it is a good thing for everyone who likes to play games I think...I need to find out what exactly it does before I use it constantly ...

 

Infinity,

This program is able to reduce the amount of 3D Primitives that are displayed on the screen as per the application request. While this can cause artefacting (because many primitives are not drawn), playing with the values in the program can reduce the amount of glitches to an acceptable level while still gaining lots of performance.

Thats what the website says. Bowserman, did you see any artefacting in your 3DMark run with this program?

If you dont know what 3D Primitives is, here's an explanation I got:

"a “3D primitive” is a collection of vertices that form a single 3-D entity. When we define a 3D object we need to pick the 3D primitive we want to use and define our object’s vertices accordingly so Direct3D can interpret them correctly during rendering."

Hope this helped.

Firecat

 

Ok, thanx!! good to know cause I didn't

 

There is artifacts yes, the whole premise is that it removes elements from the scene to speed it up. With the right settings you can reduce it to an "acceptable" level in some instances.

 

Can you define 'acceptable'?

 

Where the 3D scene is at least able to be "made out" or playable .. .

 

Yes I did, but the settings I used for the benchmarks would not be what I would use while playing games...then they would need to be tweaked .

Jade.

 

ok, so if I understand correctly :

if you use the lowest settings like 20 in place of 100 (standard settings) I could play games without artefacts still optimized?

 

I think yes, but the optimisation will be reduced. It might be a problem, since one may have to optimise separately for many games...

 

OK, this is getting more interesting now. is it run in the background continously then Jason might find this usefull for in the future:

something for overclocking the cpu together with this tool integrated

 

and maybe a built in registry protection

just kidding

 

How can I make the settings stick?? When I close the app the driver - service - is turned off too

Keep the program running whilst you want it to have the effect.

 

Aha ok I see - any chance to get a setting to be kept even with the exe not running - keeping my grafik card optimized -)

Ruben

 

The EXE itself would use no CPU, it's just a window that is active whilst you press a button or something on it. Shouldn't affect scores

 

yeah, but on my small screen I'd love to be able to close it - and have windows keep the setting -)

But if one can't, one can't
