GravityMark v1.87 GPU Benchmark

There are only 2 versions for windows on the sites webpage for download - 1.68b + 1.53. So which one is recommended for the leaderboard on TPU?
 
Vulcan + RT
2022-08-16 20.14.16 gravitymark.tellusim.com d72d40f17e71.jpg

DX12 +RT
2022-08-16 20.27.48 gravitymark.tellusim.com 63b68f72d814.jpg

OpenGL + Default (no RT for OGL)
2022-08-16 20.41.55 gravitymark.tellusim.com e9a928985699.jpg

What version of the app is that with?
I did a run with v1.68b, openGL @ 1440p. That RX 6800 XT result in your screenshot is quit crippled compared to what I got. :confused:
it's 1.68b and I'd say they're using an older driver you can check the system specs out too by clicking on each of the scores it'll give a drop down which will also link to their system specs which has the driver version and date the test was done
 
Lemme just update this baby for the thread, ALSO anyone having trouble running windowed mode? crashes for me at all api and all resolutions.... Says 'resolution changed' and wont run bench.

Anyways, ONE 6700 TO RULE THEM ALL. Champ shit.

mamba out.

Hmm, 20% faster than D3D12. What about D3D11?
Hey I been meaning to ask, win10, 6700xt on 22.8.2 drivers but can confirm no go with 22.7's either..., cpu i712600k, 16gb ddr5 @ 5400mhz

It will not let me run windowed mode on any resolution or any api combination....says this:

help?

What is your monitor resolution?
The window size is getting changed during benchmarking. That can affect performance.

it never even makes it to the benchmark....it goes to loading screen with the seconds counting... then right to the rocks floating and that message saying its been canceled....my monitor native resolution is 2560x1080.. 21:9 monitor...but I run every other bench in windowed mode at any resolution, all the final fantasy benches, 3dmark, etc etc...<2k,4k,8k,1080p,native>....and have zero issues. And I run any resolution on your benchmark program in full screen mode on ANY resolution, yet I cannot run any resolution, matching to my native or not.. with ANY api on gravitymark......I dont understand what the difference is when im trying to do the same as full screen.. but... in windowed mode..? I see other users doing this. I never try to change the windows or do anyting i click bench and take my hand off mouse...I've even made it so it go max window size immediately.. and let it do its own sizing... nada.

Update: if I leave everything default... it will do windowed mode in 1600x900... for some reason.....but not my native of 2560x1080....or any other resolution of that matter

The support of 21:9 displays will be improved in the next update.
Default resolution and fullscreen mode should work as a workaround now.

which is weird cuz I have my main tv sitting next to my rig, and its 16:9 your typical 4k TV...and I cant get it to run any mode windowed outside of default either(on the tv)....even if i dont have my 21:9 monitor hooked up

update: reinstalled drivers with only 16:9 monitor attached to it, and rebooted.. no 21:9 hooked up.. still wont do anything windowed but default...but even when i type in 1600x900 in the custom resolution selected....It wont run windows mode.....and the default resolution is 1600x900... Im so confused. lol

The new benchmark version (1.70) already has a fix.

oh? nice, thanks a bunch! Ill check it out right now.

yep no luck for me, on my 21:9 pc monitor or the LG tv at any 16:9 resolution.. still this....settings are this:

still got this:

1600x900 still works with any api or native resolution in windowed mode, but its the only resolution that will run windowed mode.. and I had my 21:9 monitor totally unplugged, before i installed 1.7..I made sure old was uninstalled... and installed 1.70 fresh... so idk what the heck is going on.. but I noticed ppl are making like 60-90 more fps in windowed mode....and i cant use it. lol

thanks for getting back to me, if you need anything from me, let me know.
 
Please try fullscreen mode. The window size with decorations is bigger than the display resolution. That is why OS resizes the window after initialization. Moreover, fullscreen mode is always faster than windowed.

fullscreen works, was just trying to help find bugs...and idk why but i keep scoring better in windowed mode,,,, in 1600x900... only resolution I can obvikously run both FS and winmode..sure it changes going up in resolution
 
The new benchmark version is ready and brings power efficiency score.
Power efficiency means the number of frames per energy unit (Watt⋅millisecond).

Fast GPUs have good power efficiency, but power consumption can lower the score.
Multi-GPU configurations provide the same efficiency as a single GPU (twice more frames - twice more power).

Power metering is available for GeForce 2xxx+, AMD 5xxx+, and Intel ARC+.

Stock 6600XT in dx12 @ 1080p looks efficient. Default settings, full screen:

EDIT: Turns out Vulkan and dx11 are slightly more efficient, while OpenGL is a bit less:

I'm not sure... how do I find it?
You need to be on the newest 1.72 release. After the benchmark has finished click Send to upload your results to their database (you don't have to include your name). Then click Save and on the benchmark browser tab click Results. Select your current result from My Documents list. A new tab will open with the results and system info like in the screenshots I posted.
 
Thank you sir, not sure of the version I just clicked the link in the first post :D

very similar efficiency between Vulkan and DX12

Efficiency close to 1K, matching the 6800/6900XTs but far behind the 6600(XT)s (they are ~50% better in that aspect).
 
@Tellusim
Is Win 8.1 the minimum required OS? I tried running the benchmark in Win7 and it gives me an error: missing api-ms-win-shcore-scaling-l1-1-1.dll

We are using old Visual Studio on Windows 10 to make builds, but unfortunately, we cannot test binaries on Windows 7 because its support ended two years ago.
Moreover, GPU vendors are not providing driver updates for Windows 7 anymore.
